    How long is 4 hours of sleep sustainable?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    This. Go do a quick read on what happens when you are sleep deprived for even just a few days (not to mention weeks or months), so you don't waste any more time on this for the rest of your life. Then get back to work.

    That's incredible! As a fellow (now amateur) musician, very happy for you :) So when are you delivering the next piece? ;)

    Building a video games business from scratch

    EXECUTION 
    I'm of the impression that marketing has become both easier than ever but also quite difficult to get heard in the sea of information. But I think it's doable. You insights are right. I think YouTube is a great marketing tool. So is reaching out to people who have the potential to care about...

    Video game development is my passion and I’m making it my fast lane strategy.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Sorry to hear you had a rough time. I know that fitting a commercial side project into everything life throws at us is not easy. I'm glad that you are still committed to finish the game after so long. I hope it'll pan out well at the end :)

    Video game development is my passion and I’m making it my fast lane strategy.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I hope you can pull this off. What worries me from what you've posted above is that you've been making this game for years. Have you got actual feedback from players? Building a prototype (not even a demo, just a prototype with cubes and spheres) and seeing if people find it fun? I imagine your...

    After Months of Dedication, I Fulfilled A Dream: MyGigz is Live and Already Receiving Its First Accolades!

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm working on a SaaS project, and I've been away from backend work for years, so I'm going a bit bananas. I started looking into AWS RDS for the database, but it's quite pricey and I'll probably end up with Supabase as well (just testing it since yesterday)...

    If You Could Start a Charity What Would It Be and Why?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Same, I couldn't agree more. I would probably also add medical research and funding nice open source projects. But animals or children charity would be my main priority.

    After Months of Dedication, I Fulfilled A Dream: MyGigz is Live and Already Receiving Its First Accolades!

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Hey, congrats on your launch! May I ask where are you hosting your SaaS (AWS, Heroku, etc.) and how much it costs you per month?

    Unity Game Engine just exercised their power of control that would destroy Indie Game Scene

    HOT! RANT 
    Of course it's leading to drama, just have a look on Reddit. Unity is way overstaffed, so I'm not surprised they are downsizing. What I don't get is how on Earth they have so many bugs they don't dare to fix with so many employees. It's ridiculous. They are also not as leading as they think...

    Do I learn everything from the start?

    IDEA SLOWLANE QUESTION 
    Well, the system is designed to get kids (yeah, a 18yo is still a kid) to decide their career path when they don't have a clue who they are or what they want. No wonder so many people either change career paths or are miserable for life. Instead of focusing on what is not good, why don't you...

    [Progress] Developing My Sleep Tracker Game

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I don't understand your reasoning. I get that you'd like to be able to do all the programming yourself. But programming is a very wide field and you shouldn't feel ashamed for getting help from specialists. I've made simple games in Unity and other tools. But, as mainly a frontend developer...

    Stuck in the decision process of "quitting the job or not"

    INTRO 
    Unless you are the next Steve Jobs, and chances are you aren't, I don't recommend quitting your job. Do you have a business that makes at least a livable income? Do you have any experience in any domain, usually acquired through a JOB? If the answer is negative to any of the above, then don't...

    What is 2023-2024's drop-shipping/gold-rush?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Clearly AI. I thought it was just hype. I was more than skeptical. But it's here for real, and it's just evolving and evolving. There's been a couple of AI bubble bursts over the decades, but now the hardware is ready for the ride. Either get on or turn into a dinosaur. I just hope they don't...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    I'd happily take one of those jobs, lol. Imagine building state of art tech that might change the world and also make millions meanwhile. It's like a kid being paid for playing in the park.

    I think I wrote a best-seller - Looking for help/advice to scale this further

    MARKETING 
    Congrats for your sales! Not exactly a web/graphic designer, but a frontend developer here with some eye for design and UX. Just a few quick tips, in case it helps: Either make those buttons rounded (standard these days; your buttons look like non-clickable banners at the moment), or, even...

    Quarter life crisis and a broken sat nav

    HOT! RANT 
    Please note that I'm by no means "successful" as per this forum's standards (a.k.a. I still trade my time for money heavily), so I might not be the best person to give advice. Yet, I'm going to do it, and hopefully save you a few years of not achieving what you want and also feel unfulfilled...

    Building a video games business from scratch

    EXECUTION 
    I've just realised, with horror, that I've been chasing money for the last 5 years :happy: I know since a long time that creating value is how you make money. I got this right and understand the reasoning behind it. But I made a mistake that took me too long to notice. Despite having this...

    Not Fulfilled? Depressed? Maybe You Need An Alignment

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I'll help you a bit with the bump ;) Good timing, I was reviewing this last night. I didn't go through the whole exercise again, but I reviewed my core values from 2019 and they still made sense. I reordered them though, that's changed. They are almost in reverse order, which is interesting. I...
