I think that's a concrete area for you to explore. When I hire, I'm often looking to hire to fill a specific skill gap on a project. I look for the specific skills I need right now and for skills I think will help the employee grow into other / more senior roles. But in the initial assessment I'm look for indications that the candidate can hit the ground running and be productive in a relatively short period of time. Of course sometimes I can't find the exact right candidate end-up broadening the filter. The learning for you here is to focus on selling you abilities in what the hirer is looking for. The rest are nice-to-haves.

Nice. I used this a dozen times over the outage period. Thank you for your work!

I've been watching Revolut who introduced something like this a while back https://blog.revolut.com/introducing-disposable-virtual-card...

I used that for a while, until a billing network banned me for using too many cards with my name.

i'm thinking about using privacy.com, what ended up happening? What is a billing network?

They're sort of an intelligence network for payment processors. Took a few days and it worked again, but just be aware that having a new credit card every payment might put you in a higher risk bucket.

There's a nice implementation of subscriptions over at https://hexdocs.pm/absinthe/subscriptions.html#content for Elixir.

yeah, I considered holding onto a pair of old 2950s but ditched them considering my peak electricity rate is 43c kw/h. This setup makes me shudder.

The typeyness of graphql gets you documentation, validation and a way to communicate intent with fellow developers in a way that's agnostic of the language and transport used. Win, win, win, win.

I wonder whether you know how to nurture leaders under you and how to delegate effectively? Many founders are relatively inexperienced and I understand this might not be the case for you. But if it sounds like something that resonates, consider reaching out to a mentor who can help with this. With an exit on the horizon, there's an end-game. It's likely the acquirer would anticipate you would leave anyway. You might start a dialog about building the skills of a replacement, you know, if you get hit by a bus, wink wink.
