Ask HN: What software do you use to gather requirements?
10 by thunderbong | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN, We have been gathering our requirements and doing our work breakdown structure (WBS) across Google Docs / Sheets and Word / Excel. In most scenarios, the requirement is not finalized initially. It goes through multiple iterations. To track these changes needs document versioning. Although, there are ways to version both documents and spreadsheets there are either too technical (code version management system) or difficult to use (Google Docs etc.) The same challenge exists for the WBS. Here, we can probably use Microsoft Project or something similar. The question to all HNers - For both requirement gathering and WBS, what I'm looking for - 1. Some organized way to gather information (preferably in some itemized form) 2. Automatic version management and an easy way to see how things have changed A bonus would be to somehow link between the requirements and WBS. This can be either a free, open-source, self-hosted or paid option. Also, it would be useful to know if anybody is using software like Notion, Outline, OneNote for this purpose.

I have always been an (a below) average engineer. I was a good student during my school. In college I started getting inferiority complex. From there it has been a downward spiral. I work at FAANG and this is my third job. At second job I was fired, at first I was about to get PIP'd. In my current job I have high and low phases. I don't feel respected at my job and it has had severe effects on my self esteem. I have been anxious/ depressed for around a decade-- I am taking anxiety medicines and planning to start therapy. There are phases where I work with high motivation but it fades easily. I have found I work on my side things with interest but I am not a completer. I complete around 80% of things and then leave them. I am not sure I can keep working this way. Not having a good relationship with my manager (I never feel secured or that they have my back) has made me tired and don't know exactly what to do.

Ask HN: How to learn proper Systems Programming?
21 by systems_learn | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I am a software engineer for the past 10 years, and did frontend and backend development. I am learning Rust at the moment and have the following books: - "The Linux Programming Interface" - "Systems Programming with Linux" - "Adavnaced UNIX Programming" What I struggle with: How to get exposure to projects to learn for a future job? I had a Rust job for around half a year, where people build web servers and came from a C and C++ background. Half of the stuff they wrote I didn't understand (flushing, opening another channel just for logs so we don't fill up the other ones etc. etc.). Now I wonder how I can get access to this type of information, how to properly learn it?

Ask HN: What is your “sales stack”?
29 by oliverx0 | 21 comments on Hacker News.
As a technical founder going into a more sales-oriented role, I would like advice on the tools other founders / sales teams use in their day-to-day to give them an advantage in lead-generation and sales automation. Although CRM suggestions would be OK, I am more interested in tools that help you do things such as: - Create easily customizable email templates and their follow-up sequence. - Automation software for LinkedIn outreach / email sending. - Automation software for generating leads. For example: easily identifying companies' email formats, easily gathering companies' and their competitors' information, landing page generation automation, gathering lists of companies based on size, industry, needs, etc. Essentially, if someone asks you what your day-to-day sales operations look like for a B2B SaaS product, how would you respond with hands-on suggestions? Assume that such person has no idea of the current trends of sales software. If someone asked me the same question for a software tech stack, I would answer for example: - Bitbucket / Github for version control - Travis CI for continuous integration deployment - React JS for front-end, combined with parcel as a bundler, Mobx State Tree for state management, etc. - Ruby on Rails for back-end, combined with PostgreSQL. Ideally, if you have information on how that product / strategy gives you some advantage it would be really hepful. If you have any resources that could also help a technical founder get into sales, with a step-by-step process, that would also be great!

I am in the later half of an adventurous and successful career. I continue to grow, have a long-term stable marriage, good savings, great life. I went to my therapist to handle a lingering family issue and now we've come up to the ADHD talk. They want to run neurological tests, said I'm 'twice exceptional' and I see this as an expensive and time consuming diversion of my goals. I do admit that there is some validity in the idea, I do see symptoms, but how would this help me at this point in my life?
