    The One Simple Thing you can do to make your business stand out

    MINDSET RANT 
    Getting my house ready to sell is reminding me of the most simple Do's-and-Don'ts for business. We needed the place painted and some carpet replaced. The realtor recommended some painters that came in and did a decent job for about $5k. When I called them to come do touchups and some missed...

    I need to build an eBay-style web platform. HELP!

    EXECUTION 
    I don't know of any off the shelf marketplace software, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If I was to take this on, I'd try to find one before building it myself. I'd use as much pre-written pre-tested code as I could, because it's a BIG job no matter what you do. The reason I asked what...

    I need to build an eBay-style web platform. HELP!

    EXECUTION 
    So, I'm one of the coders that @BizyDad mentioned (well, sort of. I'm an iOS developer, but same idea.) You have to know you're not the first person to ask for this, right? In my consultant days, I had damn near every single popular site pitched to me, with very small (or no) differences. So...

    I'm having AI anxiety. What is your thoughts on upcoming AI?

    CHAT 
    Fearmongering nonsense. A, GPT-4 isn't nearly as good as the media hype makes it out to be. It's a cool, effective, useful tool, but it's not replacing anybody yet. If it's passing standardized tests, it's because those tests were never particularly effective at what they were supposed to be...

    Freelancing reselling business

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Sure, but you do understand that you're not actually doing anything, right? Look, I'm not gonna get into this. You're money chasing, trying to find a shortcut to money instead of taking the time to learn how to deliver real value yourself. Read The Millionaire Fastlane and drop this nonsense...

    Why would I hire you instead of the $10 guy?

    Post Your Desk or Work Area! (The Workspace Thread)

    MINDSET FEATURED! 
    I love threads like this. Here's my office, in the bonus room loft in my house. We're moving in the next couple months though (hence the bare walls and various boxes), so I'll have to do an update when we get into the new house.

    Organizer and Scheduling app

    This is the best piece of advice anyone entering the software market can get.

    Is a web development business or an app development business a better idea?

    Ugh, here we go again...

    Detroit is dangerous (in general, there's dangerous parts and nice parts of any major city). San Francisco is horrible, all over. They refuse to enforce any number of laws, so there's needles everywhere, people literally defecating on the sidewalks, people walking into stores in broad daylight...

    San Francisco is a shithole. Literally and figuratively.

    At this point, there is zero reason to ever be in San Francisco.
