A Non-Technical Founder's Guide to Building a Tech Startup: From Idea to Development

Thirty years ago, the landscape of tech startups was a different realm, where a strong technical background was not just an advantage, it was a necessity. Building a software application or platform was a complex endeavor, often out of reach for non-technical founders.

But the 90s are gone, taking clunky tech and convoluted development processes with them. Today, anyone with a good idea can overcome technical barriers, decode tech jargon, and build a successful tech startup, regardless of their background. 

More effective development patterns, versatile funding options, and better infrastructure have all made it easier for non-tech founders to get into the startup game. But it is still important to bridge the gap between non-tech founders and the tech experts whom they work with.

Optimizing Your Website For Voice Search

Since Siri debuted on iOS in 2010, we’ve seen a slew of other voice-driven AI assistants. Alexa, Google Assistant, and Cortana have become household names.

At the same time, smart speakers have become ubiquitous in households and workplaces, making voice-driven computer human interaction commonplace. The result is that over 40% of people in the US now use voice search at least once per day, and that number is only likely to rise.

Technical Aspects of Algorithmic Trading. Part #2

In the previous article, we discussed some key concepts, such as different markets and their characteristics, trading software, and chart visualizations of the market. 

In this article, I would like to dive a little more into the technical aspects of algo trading and discuss the usage of public APIs.

Generally speaking, one could have only two ways of interacting with trading software: manual or automatic.

Manual ways include:
  • Web interface
  • Mobile application
  • Phone calls to your broker representative (it is still possible for stock markets, yes)

Good oldies: MRSK and Rails ≤6

In my previous article, I highlighted the seamless deployment process of Rails 7 applications to AWS using MRSK and GitHub Actions. With four applications already in production, all managed by MRSK, we have come to appreciate its simplicity, centralized configuration, and developer-friendly approach. Having gained such positive experiences with MRSK on our newer projects, I decided to transition one of our Rails 6 applications from Capistrano to MRSK for deployment.
