Great news, I'm going to try and come back and contribute to this community. I'm sorry I've been gone and disappeared suddenly, governments run auto insurance in British Columbia is a terrible thing that'll drain any energy or will to live you have.
One of the ways I was thinking I could contribute is "CTO as a Service", free to Indie Hackers. I'll write a longer post later about what I can provide and why.
Essentially, it frustrates me there there's few, reliable Sales as a Service. I suck at sales and winning those first 5 customers is what I've always failed to do. I figure if I wish I could buy or get help with sales the least I can do is offer to help good sales people get their ideas off the ground technically. I'm not expect anything in return, I just wonder if there's sales people who wish they could get good technical help; the opposite of me.
Anyway, looking forward to being a productive member again.
Welcome back, is Lakebed.io still active?
Thanks for asking. It is still active but I still haven't won any customers (other than the Federal Government of Canada for a time). Today I am starting a data consultanting contract that may end up needing a data lake. And, my friend over at herstasis.com may be an early adopter.
