  • “Collaboration” “Mentoring” Outside of thee military, few companies have any mechanism to train people to move up the corporate ladder. If you’re not there watching the boss, then you have no idea how to do their job. If the boss can’t see you, they can’t delegate the little tasks that amount to job training. If the boss can’t see you, they have no way to evaluate whether you’re helping or not.

    The boss got his job by watching his boss and being in the right place when some opportunity came up, so that’s their entire understanding of corporate advancement.

  • Is the topic of financial/trading tools just completely off-limits here, even if it’s AGPL and self-hosted?

    Not necessarily. The platform (lemmy, not just c/selfhosted) is full of anti-corporate leftists and anarchists. You’re more likely to find people who want to burn the stock market to the ground than to participate in it, esp highly speculative algo trading.

    I’ve seen plenty of people ask about self-hosted personal finance or portfolio tracking, so there are people for whom your project might be relevant. Just seems more like a r/wallstreetbets kind of thing than a lemmy kind of thing.
