I got a Masters in Software Development, part time evenings, studied over 3 years. I don't think it's strictly necessary, but in my experience, it doesn't harm your prospects. I think it's nice to have the combination of experience and education, personally. Certainly don't underestimate the commitment if you study in your spare time. Also, you may enjoy the course, work on new things, meet new people - all can be valuable in their own right.
Congratulations on launching, great idea. Can I ask you about AWS lambda for the email sending. Did you integrate with a third party email service, or node mailer, or just a Gmail (I believe they get throttled at 500 emails per day). Or does AWS send the emails? I'm working on a project that needs emails to go automatically and I'm not sure on the best implementation yet, I'm leaning towards the Gmail option but don't want to hit the limit. Thanks
As an alternative you could appoint a software services business to build it for you, to your specifications, then they step back responsibly handing it off to your business. It's more expensive but they will be off your books in 6 to 12 months unlike if you hired your own team. You'd hire a small team to maintain the system, rather than a large one to build it.
I wonder if there is a technological way to reduce this number, and also if the number was reduced, how this might impact the environment through hundreds of millions more birds living.
