A great software is eating the world story, from a family member in a traditional industry, who is not themselves a technologist but has worked for the Internet for a few years:

Sidenote: he said across their client population they might have a million images, and they're considering hiring multiple people full-time for a years long project to process them. I chortled a little. "It's *a million* images; that's no joke." "No you don't understand."

"What?" "If you successfully have a proof of concept which works for 20k images, you are almost certainly less than one day of work on solving for a million images." "That's 50X larger though." "Neither your computer nor Amazon will care."

"How hard is this problem that a real company is thinking of throwing multiple people for years at to solve?" It would be a little mean to give to an early career engineer as a job interview problem, but is materially smaller in scope than a hackathon project.

It all depends of what “suboptimal” in your context is. But what i will do is to take a look to the Google and Microsoft vision apis and try to redefine my problem on these api terms. Then apply for the trial/free level and use the sample code. For 20k images this must be enough

It’s cool how the manual path may work but zero growth and huge resource burn. Stepping back not only gave your friend a better solution but created so much growth for them and ultimately the firm.
