My Job
I work in Product at Coder.com.
About Product
Product at Coder helps figure out what software we are going to develop next, such as new features, bug fixes, or even new products. We also help customers and other departments at Coder.
About Coder.com
Coder is an enterprise self-hosted cloud development environment software company. Let's break this down:
- enterprise: while we have many open source projects, we sell software to large enterprise companies such as Discord and Goldman Sachs.
- self-hosted: we provide the software, our users run it on own servers they own (e.g. their datacenters) or rent (e.g. AWS).
- cloud development environment: instead of coding directly on local desktops and laptops, developers can use a cloud development environment.
- software company: our main revenue source is software sales. Coder is also venture capital funded.
Exciting Challenges
These aren't necessarily things I'm good or bad at, but instead things I enjoy working on improving.
- Communication: Most of my work days are spent listening, thinking, writing, and talking. Probably not in that order.
- Development: I work with smart people and unique challenges every week, leaving plenty of room for learning and personal development.
- Patience: Even in a startup, most changes don't happen over just a day and they probably shouldn't. We take pride in our work and should encourage thoughtfulness and quality products.
