Super helpful, especially with the recommended runway of 2-5 years. When you say you have done this, can you elaborate on your situation a little bit more?


This is super helpful, thank you! Is this coming from a strategic perspective or have you been the hirer or hiree in this situation?


Thanks so much for sharing your experience. If you don't mind me asking, what is your job today?


I have a job at Google now

While I was looking for a job I feel like I had a good chance at several types of companies; both startups and FAANGs viewed my independent time as a positive.


Eh I think that was just a way of asking "How do we know you are serious about this"


You bring up whether I would be okay on my deathbed, and honestly I do think that if I don't do it I will regret it, but there are other things in life that I would regret not doing as well. I'm trying to gauge if it would mean an uncomfortable year or two if it meant having a lifelong impact on my earning potential.

I'm not sure I agree with you that joining a company of under 50 is the next best thing to entreprenuership. I've been there and it seems like you get a lot of the negatives (ambiguity on your role, disorganization, uncertainty on stability of business) without a lot of the benefits (freedom/flexibility to work on what you want and potential upside.)

For the record, I am the kind of person who wants to have my cake and eat it too, (what's the point of having cake if I'm not going to eat it?)

> Billing departments are "secretly" using it to "refine" coding. What does this mean exactly?


When billing any insurance company, all procedures are assigned a "code" to standardize the payment/procedure performed across systems.

Some doctor patient visits may fall under multiple codes, so billers will optimize for the highest paying code.


oh you mean like hacker news?


or discord, irc etc.


This is an excellent landing page. It has a clear call to action and a simple way to capture leads. You may want to change this text "Hi, I'm Aziz Berkay Yesilyurt. I transform tedious workflows into streamlined software." to be details on your call to action ("Automate Your Workflow with One Call".)

This landing page is not going to win you any business on its own. Its further down your funnel. Whether you are running ads or writing content or just word of mouth telling folks about this site after you meet them, your clients will be learning about you from outside of this site. I would think of it as your business card.


Exactly, I would like to use this page as a digital business card with non-technical small/medium sized business owners.


Am I the only one that made the change from dev to SE and hates it?


Probably not, I think threads like these attract those with good experiences in the role. Can you say more about why you hate it? I think sales roles have been over-hyped in the past couple of years personally but I've never worked one.
