    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    Man he must have struggled to make that so difficult to understand. "If you start letting AI you don't completely own and control privately train on proprietary data, all a competitor will have to do to rip off everything you have is to ask the AI to rip you off for them." Basically, own your...

    I don't know that I would say anybody was "vs" JLE in that discussion. From my standpoint anyway, he appears to be someone with the tools he needs to really take off, but is missing something: whatever it is that gets him to take that first step. Changing your circumstances is hard; however...

    The SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) Failure, Nothingburger? Or More?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I wish I could think of a way to turn virtue signaling into millions of dollars. Besides running for Congress, I mean.

    The SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) Failure, Nothingburger? Or More?

    SVB and the like were giving them lines of credit that other banks wouldn't give them. Because of the risk. Apparently SVB wasn't too good about managing risk.

    Can't decide what should i spend my time learning (general programming advice required)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I mean, you've used websites, right? There's a lot of possibility out there. Look, software development is a great skill to have, and I think it's an important one for a lot of people. But you may not have to dive deep into it if you don't have a great desire to make it your career. There's a...

    Can't decide what should i spend my time learning (general programming advice required)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Oooh where to begin... Cross-platform development frameworks never work. Never. But they especially never work on mobile, where they've been tried over and over and over since 2008. You are always making a tradeoff when you use one, and the tradeoff is never worth it if you're trying to build a...

    Can't decide what should i spend my time learning (general programming advice required)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Python is a great place to start. Good language, popular and well used, with a lot of fundamentals that translate well to other popular languages. You can use it to start doing some web development (see Django and Flask for two popular frameworks) and then use that experience to try other...

    I Want to learn how to get rich, but I’m only in 7th grade

    In 2007, OP wasn't born yet ;) I don't have specific advice, just that it's good to see someone that young find their way here and start looking for advice. I hope you go far, @TheOneThatWin

    In the spirit of bringing this back to Andy's original thread topic: What would you do if you had to make a sale today? I'd recommend that you get that first client. I wasn't a great developer until I started mentoring someone else. You learn more by teaching than you could ever imagine. If you...

    If there's anything I know about cats, its that they love being unexpectedly grabbed and manhandled into a container.

    From an outsider's perspective, here's what I read. Your entire life revolves around bodybuilding. Everything you're doing is 100% in support of that. That's fine, you have a passion. I think we've all been so obsessed at one point or another. But that is all you're doing. You're stuck in a...

    5 Reasons Why a Recession will Come in 2023

    INVESTING RANT 
    All money is fake. I don't see a fundamental difference between crypto and currency, besides who's actively manipulating it. That said, I'm sure as hell not counting on my bitcoin position to make me rich, same as I'm not counting on my Apple stock or my 401k. That's slowlaner thinking. NFTs...

    Web Design Agency Victory; Next step: TCG Company + App Creation.

    IDEA SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I'm going to follow this thread closely. I'm a Magic player as well, and I've had ideas for related apps that I've shelved for the time being, mostly due to market reasons. As you said, dealing with pissed off card game nerds isn't the most fun use of your time.

    Creating a Youtube Channel

    You already have a name. It's your name. You already have a logo. It's your face. You don't need a banner. You need to make videos. That's step one. You're on step zero: procrastinate until everything is perfect. It won't ever be. There is one thing in the Youtube world that drives views, and...

    You don’t need more time, you just prioritize other things

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I did a bunch of research into streamers and content creators to see if there was a market there for some app ideas I had. On average, they make literally nothing. The "successful" ones, the ones that can do it full time for a "living", on average make like 30k. And they're happy about it! "I...

    You can, when most of that is the extremist hyperbole narrative the media spits out to sell ads. They were never the best banks in the world, they had fundamental lending issues that got revealed when the tide went out. It was never total financial collapse, because not all banks had that much...

    You sure can tell which people have kids in this thread. No parent in this thread would advise you to swap kids for a head start on grinding at your business. Providing an exceptional life for my family is a major motivator for me. If it wasn't for them, I might be content with the slowlane...
