I’m looking for advice on technical strategies for user-facing analytics features (think real-time customizable dashboard). I’ve ended up in a situation where I want to design some analytics dashboards for end users that display aggregates/historical data for a number of years. The queries I want to run take way too long to run on-the-fly so I’ve resorted to pre-computing the data I care about on a schedule. This approach works fine but it’s not real time and it adds some friction to introducing new features/views (every new feature requires backfilling years worth of data). I’m curious if others have better strategies for developing analytics software like this that’s real-time, responsive, and quick to iterate on? OLAP DBs like clickhouse? Reverse ETL? Better OLTP indexing?

I was often invited to speak with CS students at many universities. I loved it!

I wanted to inspire and guide them since I felt overlooked when I was their age.

After yesterday's meetup at my coworking space on tech startup failures, my friend's 20-year-old son dropped by to chat. He is studying computer science in his third year of university.

It was a typical small talk, and he asked me about my business. “As I recall, you worked in technology and recruitment," he said. How's the market now?

He cleverly asked for advice about his future career. I quickly saw how important and valuable it was to him.

I always had the right words to say to kids like him, so I started talking.

I talked about how the market is changing, how demand is down, and how layoffs affected the situation.

Then I got fully paralysed, and I couldn't think of what to say. I was a bit pessimistic, but I wanted to motivate him. I didn't want to discourage him by telling him that the market is hard for junior developers.

I realized that I don't know what to tell him. I have NO clue what's "good" or "bad", or what the market will do, or which skills he needs. After working in tech recruiting for over 15 years, I don't know how to guide him.

I felt helpless. In his eyes, I saw my younger self from 20 years ago, seeking advice from someone I trusted.

After a brief pause, I realized that I needed to be practical. I promised him I would send him a written response via his father soon.

That was the best I could do at the time. Being honest about not knowing everything felt better than pretending I did.

Also, I gained some time to give this kid some thorough feedback.

What advice would you give to a CS student today?
