    Becoming a developer in 2022: Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    For real - and the field from my POV is getting bearish on new blood. The Software development bottle-neck is brutal - people that have no business being a developer feel forced to pursue the route because it's one of the few fields that appear to be 'open' with a high wage on offer, but the...

    How do you know when to 'Give Up'?

    EXECUTION 
    This is an important question, and it's often overlooked for the reason you've already seen - giving up is denoted as a failure in a culture where people have been bred to 'work harder, hustle more and never give in'. To that point I would say that If you accept the common notion that most...

    So WTF are NFTs all about? Buying JPGs? Why can't you just right-click save? Is this a giant ponzi? Far from it...

    I can see that you have perceived this as a personal attack, likely due to the way I wrote the reply to you - if this is the case then I assure you no personal attack was meant on my part. I now understand the use case and the attack vectors and do not like it, but as I said that's a matter of...

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    Well that's not very factual is it? This is your opinion that you are stating as fact by invoking the word 'inherently' to make it seem as though it's empirical. My opinion is that whilst this is plausible, so too is it plausible that a nefarious adversary would pay a ‘large’ sum of money to...

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    What i'm getting at is that if I use a NFT as an authentication method for my community I have lost access to deciding who can become part of it - because you have the authentication token and you can sell it to someone I don't want as part of my selective community. This devalues the group...

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    So if let's say I lead a group of hand picked individuals that all earn +500k a year that talk about hustling, international travel and other decentralized topics - and you decide to sell your token and leave - do I get to decide who you sell that token to or do you?

    The system is built to absorb civil disobedience. Like all colour revolutions there are enough people living in fear and subjugated mind control to support the system. There are also enough people who have been given self-elected powers - this is the useful tactic of harnessing the elderly and...

    NOTABLE! HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    No it isn't, you both shot off at Prince for offering what is a fairly reasoned view on the market because it's now personal for you both and clearly an emotional subject. I cast no judgement, my network does all sorts of stuff and a few of my closest friends have been on the cam girl and...

    I know people that capitalized on that by owning studios that dealt with promotion of these girls for a % of their earnings - very lucrative! But yeah - crazy times ;)

    The crazy world of online coaching/consulting and how to cash in and learn from my mistakes

    What I really don't like about what appears to be the top 20% is how predatory it becomes - usually unfolding into glorified pyramid schemes to take money from the most desperate. I saw a course recently that was well advertised where they were saying that even in you're in debt and on your...

    Don't let the demoralization plan get to you, colour revolutions take time and there are still moves on the board for most American citizens.

    Is making money easy in 2021? (Mindset thread)

    HOT! MINDSET 
    It's easy but only if you understand that in life you take money and not make it (unless you're the federal reserve). Money is like water, it is always flowing in some direction, ideally your bank accounts. What's essentially happened to most of the people I know is that the bottom of the...

    Raising Pre-Revenue Angel Cash Is A PITA

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Not always true, a big part of sales is being able to sell the future and a big part of taking money from other people is about talking it out of their pockets with something they want more in that moment. If you're looking at setting up billion dollar companies then you're further in your...

    What Are The Services To Advertise Social Media Management?

    MARKETING SIDE HUSTLE SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Agree with Andy, advertising like this rarely gets you the effect you want. What you want is the snowball effect that can only come once you infiltrate the tribe. It works especially well today, because most people are too lazy or have forgotten what it means to be genuinely helpful. One task a...

    What next?

    EXECUTION 
    I will be super super unpopular here and suggest you get a 'real job' and leverage your current experience to dictate a nice amount of hours + pay. Once you have a big stable revenue stream coming in you can make so many more investment moves - crypto, de-fi, engraving, 3d models etc etc etc...

    INTRO 
    My suggestion is to begin working on upwork as soon as you feel confident enough to. Basic projects, fixing stupid CSS problems or redefining basic problems - even testing (i.e API testing, Automation). Don't learn to code for a skill, learn to code to solve problems. A lot of basic stuff...

    Have you done the work to make sure this is still the case? I don't know that much about the field but in terms of app development people tell me that much like all stores now (ios/play) there are the top 10% that make the lionshare of the profit and everyone else makes peanuts because of the...

    Is it actually true as MJ claims that starting a business doesn't require much capital?

    HOT! 
    Let's go back to the very basics of business. A lot of people when they start a business do most of this: buy a trademark, get their tax code, pay for a tax company, hire staff, hire an accountant, buy product, hire equipment, rent an office, spend out on productivity suites, and before they...

    What do you think about manifestation? - What most successful people commonly believe, in a way

    MINDSET 
    I think the problem young people have today is questioning everything and then wondering why they are struggling with self belief. If you're Gods chosen one or the universe is opening doors based on you manifesting secret keys that all of the historic greats (especially Tesla with his 369) had...
