'We do not plan to buy any software because we do not have enough SPP projects at the moment.' This is a common objection we generally hear from companies. Here's the problem with that: Currently, approximately 2,000MW SPP is being realized at different stages in a medium-sized country. The vast majority of them are +10MW. - Almost all of the EPC companies that make these investments use a lot of software at different stages, including pvX. - These EPC companies lose maybe 3 times the projects they receive, but thanks to the software they use, they can make much more investments and increase their chances. - The common feeling of investors: Trust. With pvX, we are solving these problems exactly. How 💸 We expand your potential SPP portfolio by reducing your sales costs. 🌱 We seed many more projects, and the seeds will sprout over time. 🚀 We get your ready to act, before you even need to.

🎙️ My co-founder Ken had the pleasure of hosting Eli Daniel, Head of Engineering at Jellyfish, on his latest episode of Level Up. They dove into how to choose metrics that align perfectly with your organization’s goals, shared tips for analyzing where your team’s time is really going, discussed scaling metrics for better alignment and resource allocation, and explored why DORA metrics are just the beginning. They also delved into balancing quantitative and qualitative metrics to get a complete picture of how effective your team is. 💡 Product developers save an average of 2 hours each week thanks to OpsLevel. Imagine the impact of not being able to quantify such gains—this is where Jellyfish proves indispensable. 👉 Tune into this episode to dive deeper and uncover strategies to elevate your team's performance. Please share if you find this as exciting as we do!

Is this ARR madness? Logitec proposes mouse as a service. As one Reddit user joked - if you exceed the mouse clicks, you go to premium plan. Yes we know from Economics 101 that rent is the most profitable concept. But a society of renters (and here we try to build one when everything is rented) is a society of poor people. Soon your electric toothbrush will stop working when you forget to pay the monthly fee. May be your fridge too. And you many not be able to go into your house if you haven't updated or paid the monthly fee for your smart lock. I am going back to metal keys. https://lnkd.in/e5zay5J2

Last 20 years in data: Hadoop -> Spark -> Arrow The need for distributed data processing is decreasing as the available computer memory grows. What required a huge hadoop cluster 18 years ago when Hadoop was invented, can comfortably fit into RAM of a single computer with abundance of processing cores.

Strong Opinions Weakly Held #3: Me in 2017: Just make the investment to do it right the first time - save the headache and cost of all the rework! Me in 2021: Just get something out there for people to use. Something is better than nothing. Me in 2024: Typical engineer answer comes back again - it depends. Something is not always better than nothing. It can damage your brand and your standing in customers' eyes and it may be hard to get them to give you a second shot - not everyone understands the idea of "beta stage" and "MVP". But conversely, I've seen far too many projects toil and churn on "Can we actually release this yet? It doesn't have feature X Y Z." DON'T DO THAT. You don't know what customers want until they tell you. Often, they can't tell you until they get some piece of your direction in their minds. The goal is an MVP: Minimal viable product. The problem is: what constitutes minimal? what constitutes viable? and to an extent, what constitutes product?
