What is SaaS? Demonizing Software as a Service
Question, I just started coding and I built a startup audio generation narration device, basically just stole ChatGPT’s vision and curated narrations best I could, I’ve only been coding 3 months so in some ways I’m just trying to get better. This is kind of a stupid question but this obviously just applies to if you are an experienced coder right? After that website I realized oh boy do I have a lot to learn, so I’m making a news site for fun because I just want to get better. I built my first website without media queries because obviously I don’t know what I’m doing. Would you recommend someone like me just keeps building this no revenue possible news site? I use python for backend flask, html, css. My first website I used sql light for my database. The narrations are so inconsistent so I don’t even want to work on that shitty site anymore.

Thanks for video. Unfortunately can’t find a lot of value in terms of what actually crucial to hire best devs. Budgeting right now is easy because market is bad. I hired bunch of devs and if tech interview is not first and not related to stuff that you are building most likely you can get wrong dev. Have had this situation recently. The problem is not always person on interview could be 180 degree of values when you actually see how work is done
good point. as for specific things, I have previous video and 3 steps process before I even ask our devs to do tech interview: ruclips.net/video/DWlAUnCTnfQ/видео.html

thanks alot, i couldnt find much information on mobile app stacks but this one was really helpful also what tech stack do you usually use
Glad it's useful! If you've got any other questions you'd like me to cover in one of my next videos - let me know
Hi Vitaliy. Please make a video for people who don't want to use an agency i.e hiring a freelance developer on Upwork or Fiverr.
Good idea! On a quick note here, the process is quite similar on a higher level to hiring dev agency. Surely, when we hire devs in-house for our agency we have many more steps, but that's a bit different from hiring for building MVP for your startup
Thanks, I think it can be used not only for software development
100% 🙂
Thank you for your work! In a short video you collect the most interesting and useful information 💪

nice job Vitaliy
Thank you! Any specific question you'd like me to cover in my next video?
@@softformance A Sample architecture diagram using AWS or whatever cloud. I think for mobile [React + Next JS] it's been done a million times but for mobile hybrid/native apps it's not there. Coming from a web developer point of view it seems like everything is essentially the same but there's not much info on the internet. A title could be: Sample Architecture for React Native App The video could outline api calls, security, auth, datastore (nosql vs rdbms).. etc.
Another video could be exploring costs of running this app and scaling. I saw your other videos about 0-10 users, 100-1000 users, etc. At these milestones costs change, what can we expect in range from the architecture you provided.
@@eugeniosp3 Thank you! Interesting idea. will think about it
@@eugeniosp3 BTW, I have similar video on website maintenance. Probably, something similar on mobile apps might help. right? ruclips.net/video/BveO-pvUhuQ/видео.html
great ideas!!
Any topics for the next videos?

I am very impressed with your RUclips channel content and your video thumbnails are very amazing. But your RUclips videos are not SEO-optimized? If you SEO-optimize your videos then your channel will grow more quickly day by day. I am a professional RUclips video SEO expert. I can cooperate with you to grow your RUclips channel. If you are interested let's have a small Zoom meeting to discuss.
We're using vidIQ and ticking all the boxes in release and SEO checklist there. So I think the basics are covered.
@@softformance Your video optimization checklist ticks all the right boxes. But you don't setup video related keywords in the keyword section area of your videos, not your title and description SEO. As a result your video is not growing much. I am a professional RUclips video SEO expert I know how to grow a RUclips channel through SEO. So if you are interested then I can help you. I have message on your messanger inbox check.
@@freelancerlemon07 That's not true. If you take a closer look you'll see we use main keyword in all the places you mentioned. Unfortunately, these days it's all not about keywords that much as about good thumbnail, title and the content itself.
Great video Vitaliy!
Thank you! Any topic you’d like me to cover in next videos? :)

Thank you! Anything else you'd like me to cover in my next videos?
great one!! make more idea videos like this and how do you find these ideas what's your research process making a video on this would be nice.
It is very simple in my case: I'm just checking my Sales folder in Gmail where all our agency requests coming in. Seasoned tech founders do all the hard work for me :-) But if you don't have such a luxury, I can record YT video giving an alternative options to come up with good SaaS ideas. You want it?
@@softformance yes sure would love a video on that!!
