    The Official 2018 Fastlane Summit Event Thread

    MEETUPS 
    All us introverts be like: I always hate that I didn't manage to connect with more people, but it doesn't take too many conversations before my brain is mush. However, whether we had a chance to chat or not, if I can ever help any of you out, please feel free to reach out. Also, here's a VR...

    Pre or Post Summit Activities

    MEETUPS 
    So this is true for all conferences, but especially here. No matter how great they are, the presentations are just the excuse for everyone getting together. The real impact that people take away is from the discussions you'll have with everyone around you, so if you hide in a corner and avoid...

    Ask Me Anything About SaaS ( I'm building my 7th )

    GOLD! HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    Wtf? Why be a dick to someone who's trying to help? Way to make sure that doesn't happen again... Having said that, I'll still try to help explain some of the problems in pricing software development so my post isn't equally useless. The short answer is: You're basically asking how much it...

    2018 Fastlane Summit - Room Sharing Thread

    MEETUPS 
    I'm local now, so in case anyone's having trouble getting a spot sorted out (or just wants to save a few bucks), someone's welcome to crash in my spare room. (It's a bit of a drive over though, so staying at the hotel will absolutely be a better idea, if you can swing it.)

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! CHAT EXECUTION 
    an Aeropress ($20ish), a decent coffee grinder ($100ish to whatever you feel like spending), and an electric kettle ($20ish - I didn't even realize these existed until I moved out of the country but great for making a quick cup of coffee or tea.) - If you like coffee and normally drink...

    The 4 Hour Work Week Vs. Millionaire Fastlane

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    This is what I think is great about Tim and the 4HWW. It's about exposing people to options that they didn't know existed. Its easy for us to forget that the default state of mind for the vast majority of the planet is that it's impossible for them to start and succeed at their own business...

    Great! and don't be too sure that your project can't earn. If you've got a problem and there wasn't a suitable solution available, then other people have that problem too. Some of them would rather give you a pile of cash for your solution than to try and solve it themselves. You may have to...

    Christmas Eve Phoenix Meetup

    MEETUPS 
    Me and the wife are up for it if you're willing to put up with a couple of new faces :) Or maybe we've met at one of the past BnP's? (If so, you may not want to put up with old ones hehe.)

    Web 3.0 (Ethereum) is happening, and most people have no idea what it even is.

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Of course, they were right: FCC is about to repeal Net Neutrality But that's not really a reason to avoid the internet either. However, anyone heavily invested in crypto should have future regulation on the list of risks to balance.

    Grats on making the jump! The quoted chunk reminds me a LOT of most of the developers that I've known, so I thought I'd toss in some thoughts in case it helps you avoid some of the problems that they've run into. From my experience (and also, very generally speaking), developers love building...

    I want to develop a VR video game

    I agree with everyone that paying someone to make a game for you is a pretty horrible idea. However, if you dumped a solid week of your time (like a real, 100% effort), into unity or unreal tutorials, you'd be surprised at what you can accomplish. Realize that the hard part of the game...

    Planning on putting 1 or 2 together in a couple of weeks, probably 6x 1070s since the 480s are long gone. What are you running?

    I've been pretty apathetic on this topic, but with the help of this thread, I'm becoming a convert. I came here to post this podcast, listened today and thought it was pretty good. I think the best point for me was one that they didn't even make directly. One of the guys offhandedly...

    The True Purpose of University Education - Jordan Peterson

    Exactly, I mean, his leading point was that college is good because it gives you a socially acceptable excuse to do nothing but read for 4 years. I'm pretty sure I've argued here before that the best use of college is to spend 4 years working on your business, though I guess the point would...

    The True Purpose of University Education - Jordan Peterson

    I've only watched the short clip, but how can you watch that and want to go to college? He says great things about what college should be for and then basically says that it has turned worthless because it's not doing that at all! Sadly, being articulate beyond comprehension hasn't helped him...
