rainboiboi commented on Launch HN: Neptyne (YC W23) – A programmable spreadsheet that runs Python    · Posted by u/dosinga

Founder of AlphaSheets here -- we built this back in 2015 and developed it for 3 years. We built Python, R, SQL and full excel formula/hotkey/format/conditional formatting/ribbon compatibility. It was a long slog!

I wish you good luck and all the best. It's a tough field but a big market. And I still think the potential is there.

I noticed that AlphaSheets is no longer in operation - couldn't find the website. What happened?

I do expect AWS to capitalize on this and persuade GCP customers to switch. I have no idea why GCP thinks that their customers are sticky enough to stay with them through the price increase.

I created something that lets you get free GPU on VS Code with Google Colab with just 1-click. Have a look at https://github.com/DerekChia/colab-vscode

This is my default go-to as a poor man ML setup, with environment and dependencies set up automatically via bash script on start up.

Can we see more examples?

(Including some less successful ones and some failure cases ideally)

rainboiboi · 4 years ago
Yup, would love to see more examples how this works!

With your ML background I'd probably focus on things like AWS Sagemaker and going from dev to prod in a sensible fashion.
rainboiboi · 4 years ago
Thanks, I agree that AWS Sagemaker would make sense and I'm already in the process of mastering it.

Define “worth it”
rainboiboi · 4 years ago
I define it as an opportunity cost to learning another technology or language that is in demand in the market. In other words, my perspective is from a career building (increasing total compensation, i.e. $) point of view.

On the contrary, as companies rely more and more on the cloud, they chase the mirage of avoiding lock-in even more and k8s plays a big role in this
rainboiboi · 4 years ago
Yes, I suspect there would be a rise in multi-cloud setup and K8s skills might be valuable here.
