    How is coding a fast lane venture?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    For me it was a way to move forward that, at worst, would lead to a solid job. I decided on a bootcamp, because I was able to use military benefits to get some money coming in instead of being unemployed at home.

    Just bought two. With the amount of information you've simply given away for free here, it's practically a no-brainer. I'm currently employed as a salaried software developer, but want to go full-time remote.

    If you have no idea, should you just move up in the slowlane?

    IDEA SLOWLANE 
    More direct to OP's question though: MAYBE. The two requirements I would argue are critical: The skill is something that you're interested in/suited for/passionate about. It will propel your business goals forward in some way. Personally, I just completed a major career pivot by completing a...

    IDEA SLOWLANE 
    That particular problem is known as a "solved problem" in the IT community. It's not hard to implement self service tools that allow users to reset their own passwords (Click link, fill in your email address, fill in the code from the email they send, create new password). Getting OP's...

    Dead-End Sh*t Jobs ... Yours?

    NOTABLE! 
    One I just tried, very briefly: Uber driver. Basically working for less than minimum wage while slowly extracting the equity out of your vehicle. And that's even with the absolute perfect vehicle for the job (6+ year old Prius).

    Personally I like Hamilton watches; they made some of the original aviator watches for the military, and they have some 'verreh noice' watches in your price range. Hamilton History | Hamilton Story Hamilton Watches The main thing is to match metals as much as possible. So if you're wearing a...

    Has Amazon become a monopoly?

    HOT! 
    Holy crap that sounds expensive. I doubt even Apple with their $1T market cap could afford that. If anyone does it first it'll BE Amazon. I think if 3D printers get much more advanced they could disrupt SOME of Amazon's business model... until they get bought out.

    Has Amazon become a monopoly?

    HOT! 
    True, but the same can be said about USA's collective decision to outsource manufacturing to China. In the short term we've benefited hugely from it, but I believe we're reaching the end (if we haven't already) of the benefits of that strategy. Not to mention the fact that we've totally...

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Just recently got my first pair of AE shoes: first quality 5th avenues in dark chili. I've had dress shoes before of course but these just exude quality. For those who don't know the fit is just as important with shoes as the rest of your outfit. I wear size 14 in athletic shoes and went to...

    Arun Silva is right on the money, and explains one of the major differences between nicer suit jackets and the cheap crap (extra fabric for tailoring purposes, lining, sewing & fabric quality, and the finer details being many of the others). I've heard that some of the super cheap suits that...

    Lots of very good comments here... I prefer to think of it as getting determined. Light that fire under your behind!! I know this might be action faking... but a good movie to watch that's sure to light your fire is Rocky III. After II Rocky was on top of the world, then gets the #@)%...

    How to create monetary wealth in just 5 years. (Or less!)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Very much so. And of course, to make the cubicle jail cell complete, they put everything on credit. Even though I'm still a cubicle slave (for now), I try to think of every purchase in terms of how many hours of my life will be required to pay for the next gadget.

    Seeking a free video editing program?

    Another happy Resolve user here. Works well on my Dell XPS 15 (beast of a laptop though). I shoot drone footage with D-LOG, and right now I'm having trouble figuring out how to apply the same video processing settings to multiple clips. I'm actually not hating on Windoze 10 as much as I...

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Lots of good advice on here. I've started to up my suit game after stumbling on Real Men Real Style on YouTube. I had a 3 piece light gray wool suit made when I was in Bahrain, and while the quality is nice, the trousers fit too tight in the seat (I lift so that may be why), and there's no...
