Thank you for the advice


That’s what I’ll eventually do. Right now I don’t have a product at all. Just want to evaluate the idea.


Not having a product yet is good! You don't need a product to make these calls. The point is to better understand the product they're wishing they had, which becomes the product you build.

Where the OP said "pitch", take it in the sense that you can pitch these leads on you and your commitment to meeting their needs. This warms them up for when you call them again in 2 or 6 or 12 months with that product. They'll be excited to hear from you and invested in learning more about the product.


Got it. Good advice. I’ll try that.


I find BitMessage protocol truly decentralized. I worked on implementing a java client for it a while ago. It stores encrypted message on your machine, although only the intended receiver can decrypt the message. Although inefficient it's impossible to identify origin of the message. On the downside the p2p message propagation could take time. I wish it was more popular.

Just curious, technically what stops AA from simply cancelling the approved holidays? I'm not saying they should, just want to know can AA or any employer for that matter cancel a granted time off? Are there any legal implications for that?


Union work rules. Pilot unions have a lot of leverage.


also empathy. Better to have a willing workforce than forcing them to fly, in the long term.

I imagine no one at AA is wringing their hands in glee at this situation


I'm skeptical. I suspect a very different outcome it it were a different, non union area of workers at AA.


Is this similar to bitmessage? https://www.bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page


I did get some interviews through networking but I couldn't clear those. Till now I couldn't understand why, till my last interviewer told me since I'm from small company operating at small scale I'm not suitable for senior position.


10 to 12 phone screens in last 2 years and I was constantly trying to arrange interviews. out of those 3 progressed to onsite interviews, but was rejected in all 3. I'm in bay area, but need to move to seattle soon for personal reasons.


3 rejections is a fairly small amount. dont get discouraged. There are many reasons why you might not have been a good fit for them. Keep trying.


Since people are mentioning VPN, be aware which server you use. You might want to stay away from servers in 14 eyes countries.

Few useful resources when deciding between VPNs

I have posted my tech stack.


Thats a great advice. I recently developed lot of interest in machine learning. I could probably create something useful out of it.
