    Silence is Golden

    EXECUTION 
    So after testing my first version of my product with a couple of people, and receiving silence as feedback, I now understand that my minimum viable product is way too minimum and minimalistic. One of the people validated some assumptions of mine on the need but didn't say much when I shared what...

    What's a good part time job so that one can focus on fast-lane activities?

    EXECUTION 
    I used to get up at 3am as a student to go work at 3:30-4 till 2pm. Then I tried to go to college. Well college didn't go very well that one year. It will screw your brain very much. I could not retain any information. Body wise I was fine but the brain was foggy from the lack of sleep.

    Read Millionaire Fastlane - Now feeling extremely guilty being invested in stocks

    INVESTING 
    Keep it there. It's not a huge amount and you're young. I regret selling in 2008 all my stocks (apple, netflix, adobe, and the likes) b/c I'd be loaded right now and it would be a lot of cash available to buy a house cash. It's not black and white

    Failures in judging the NEED?

    EXECUTION 
    I agree on that one. I worked on a site/app people used but their psychological makeup was to get stuff for free and so when we put the paying wall, nobody bought.

    Outrunning the Mental Breakdown

    INTRO 
    Software development can be very mentally taxing. I personally always hit the wall when I spend hours debugging and fixing. When I'm creative and architecting my energy is through the roof. When I'm fixing for days and weeks I just want to jump of the roof. Good luck with your idea!!

    Saas Platform Update

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Hi all, Just wanted to give an update on my project as things have been rocky healthwise. I managed to fall in the icy stairs and lightly fracture a bone so I spent most of the last 4 weeks healing in bed at night and managing work during the da instead of being dedicated to my venture. It...

    MINDSET 
    This is a great read. Thanks for sharing your obstacles and why your projects were not successful. I'm building something right now and it's helping me with it. I'm much older (45) so I don't have the luxury of time even though I feel damn young :))

    How has MJ ruined your life?

    HOT! 
    Amen. France is a statist, collectivist country I had to run away from. No society is perfect but France felt like a prison when I was younger because of everything you say.

    Programming Own App vs. Outsourcing

    SOURCING 
    Unless you need stuff that requires native API I'd recommend building your mobile using a JS framework. It'll be easier for you to learn. OnSen, Cordova, Ionic, React Native to name a few. Instagram is built on React Native. As far as outsourcing not a bad idea if you can hire someone serious...

    How to deal with burn out? Am I just being a b*tch?

    I'm in software development and the brick wall between the ears is mental fatigue. The brain is like a muscle. You work it a lot, it needs to rest. Actually brain functions require a lot of energy and you may want to up your proteins and good fat. I can code 8-10 hours a day top. Even after 6...

    Providing Value DOES NOT Equal Money

    HOT! 
    Interesting post. Value may indeed be subjective. But also if someone's offering the same valuable good or service then prices will come down. Then value becomes the ratio cost / output or cost / quality of the service. So if you offer bad quality for an expensive price your value sucks. If you...

    21y/o Kid who knows nothing...

    INTRO 
    At 21 I was fearless and I wish I had leveraged that to more productive destinations. It's good you're admitting you know nothing b/c it's key to learning. We never know enough. There's always more things to learn, more details to understand, more processes to figure out. I admire medical...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I moved to SoCal thinking it would and at the end of the day it didn't. Because of house prices I lived in a neighborhood that was full of loud people. L.A tends to be dirty. Those sunny areas are congested. So I realized that it's not the weather that was making me unhappy, it was just my life...

    EXECUTION 
    Hi So I've been email people in various companies around my area to test the waters about my beta program, my goal being to validate my product and assumptions. I have some barebone functionality done but I didn't want to pursue further without feedback. The responses have been non existent...

    Welcome Grenouille Compatriote :) Make sure you automate your dropshipping like crazy b/c you won't make money otherwise. I've had a short experience with it and I should've automated all the ordering and communication with vendors.
