    Dear diary, I'm so damn tired. Lol

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Today I took PTO from my day job and spent a helluva lot of time on Figma. I created time-boxed processes for my PDLC/SDLC, as well as created a game plan for conducting user research interviews. I’m giving myself 6 months to launch which feels craaaaazy ambitious for the scope of the project...

    ChatGPT / AI reduces our creative mindset

    - AI - 
    ChatGPT is the most equitable think tank to ever exist so I disagree that it’s reducing creativity. If anything, it levels the playing field if you understand how to prompt properly. Using LLMs as search engines is child’s play. Leveraging them to help jog your own creativity is untapped gold.

    It's past midnight already on the East Coast, but oh well. Today, I finished Unscripted! Great shit... I've been trying to get one of my aunts to read it. She was complaining about wanting to go on a beach vacation. Never mind the fact that she just got back from the Maldives last month, was in...

    Dear diary, I'm so damn tired. Lol

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    (It's not midnight yet, so I still have time to post!!) Today the biggest thing I did for my business was attend a grant eligibility meeting with grantify.io. I pitched my product, the consultant was shocked that it doesn't already exist and says it meets all of the criteria to apply for a...

    If you need ANY reason to not hitchhike with your fastlane business, take this highly valued client from my day job... We have a software that provides users with a platform to manage leads. This client decided to remarket the platform by selling seats to individual sales agents on THEIR...

    Dear diary, I'm so damn tired. Lol

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    It's been about 3 weeks since I finished TMF and about 2 weeks since I started working on building my business full time. Unfortunately (but also fortunately), I'm still working at my day job bc mama's got bills to pay. I'm using this thread not only as an immortal diary, but as a method of...

    I just got to chapter 32 of Unscripted. I left Arizona a little over 10 years ago (go devils) after living there for 11 years and there are only three things that I miss: the light rail, ponchos Mexican food, and oregano’s pizza. I literally screamed out loud reading that paragraph. Their lack...

    Proud loser/child here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Gaming has never hindered my success, personally. And I come up with some of my best programmatic solutions while gaming. Turning off your brain and doing something mindless is actually helpful when trying to think outside the box. Most of my colleagues...

    I think the quaran-teen generation are the ones who are probably the biggest perpetrators. They couldn’t really socialize outside of the internet, so that may be all they know, sadly. Kids were already not playing outside enough before they simply COULDN’T.

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    First and foremost, I want to retire my grandmother. She brought us to the US for a better life (from Congo) and I’d like to repay her sacrifice. Everything else is pretty superficial.. But I’m still going to buy my home and my Alfa Romeo both free & clear ^•^

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    Try to bribe or threaten the model. I know it sounds weird. Or introduce a sense of danger like “if you don’t get this right, I’m going to be robbed.” You can also try to be as specific. “Rewrite this as if you were submitting it to a writer’s contest. Make sure that there are no grammatical or...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    At the tech conference I just attended, there were (understandably) legions of AI talks. Whether it’s the implementation of LLMs and GPTs into applications or the value of using it in hiring processes or to use it, as one speaker put it, “as an army of interns.” I find it to be a very valuable...

    I’ve been at a tech conference all week and there’s been a lot of interesting shit, but DAMN. This last keynote speaker was phenomenal. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think HE wrote TMF.. His name is Kelsey Hightower and he retired last year at the age of 42. His whole speech felt very...

    I feel like I look at entrepreneurs the way others look at movie stars now. You see someone in a movie, you do an IMDB search and start to learn a lot of useless shit about them. I do that with local entrepreneurs now. I recently learned that the founder of Slutty Vegan, Pinky Cole is only 36...

    I’m currently reading Unscripted. And just like TMF, a lot of this is extremely validating. I no longer feel like a crazy person for thinking differently. Back in February, I had a session with my therapist where I was in full-blown tears asking her what the point of all of this was. “All of...

    How many of you play video games?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I’ma pretty avid gamer. My favorite game of all time is Mass Effect 2 (but I love the whole trilogy and Andromeda). I only play very casually for market research these days. My Fastlane business necessitates it. :)

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read the book. I now understand why my motivation to “contribute more at my job” wasn’t enough to get me to keep on getting better at code. Now that I’m increasing intrinsic value to benefit ME, its much easier to find the time. Reading this has shown me that I’ve had a fastlane mindset but...

    Hey, ya'll. I'm a 31-year-old (self-taught) software engineer out of Atlanta and I'm glad to be here. I am currently living the slowlane life and I'm doing okay enough, but I've found myself wondering "Is this seriously it?" Granted, my life is cushier than most and I get paid well to do...
