    Help From Any Web/App Developers?

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    For websites, Webflow, Bubble. For apps, Flutterflow. But beware that no-code tools will only get you so far and you'll hit limitations. I can only speak for Flutterflow: it'll create spaghetti code that will be hard to tweak and extend. This is one of the reasons why I avoid no-code, but I'm...

    Am I being and idiot and moving too slow?

    MINDSET 
    I agree with this. I see so many people getting into coding because it's hot. Heck, I love coding and some times I feel like changing careers because not everything is exactly fun. I can't imagine how someone who has no interest would feel a couple of years in. I see so many people switching...

    Am I being and idiot and moving too slow?

    MINDSET 
    Sounds like you are chasing money. I've been there. "I want to build this business, but this other one is going to make money quicker, yay!". 5 years later, I've tried a bunch of things and made exactly $0. I'm going to go against some sacred cows here, but I think the question you should ask...

    I'm having AI anxiety. What is your thoughts on upcoming AI?

    CHAT 
    Interesting use case, I'll try it when there's something that needs fixing (although I ended up fixing what it created, lol). I tried it on the frontend this morning, and I wasn't too happy with the results. Maybe it was me not guiding it, but it was for something quite simple that I know how...

    I'm having AI anxiety. What is your thoughts on upcoming AI?

    CHAT 
    I guess everyone's brain works in a different way. It's cool that you found Copilot useful. I find it useful to type less, but for any mildly complex thing, it just gets in my way. For example, say you want to build a feature that has frontend and backend. You need to build the frontend in baby...

    I'm having AI anxiety. What is your thoughts on upcoming AI?

    CHAT 
    I just installed GitHub Copilot again today, to give it a fair try (paying for 1 month should make me take it more serious than during the free trial last year). So far, so good; programmers' job security I mean, because if this is the state-of-art AI for coding, jobs are not going anywhere...

    What if you've never had your FTE?

    MINDSET FTE 
    So true. Sadly, the environment where you grow in can be a double-edged sword, even if everything looks alright. The comfort of no having to work your butt off, because your paycheck is more than enough. Your parents playing it safe and wiring your brain up for decades on how playing it safe is...

    Creating books with AI

    MARKETING INVESTING 
    Sure, just use AI to regurgitate stuff you probably don't even know about, then sell it for a few bucks, rinse and repeat till passive income and mojito on the beach. WTF.

    How to improve immunity?

    HEALTH 
    It might sound oversimplistic, but what I've found/seen mess up with immunity for people without a particular disease/auto-immune disorder is: Unbalanced diet lacking vitamins, minerals, etc and featuring fat. - Nothing like a Mediterranean (or similar) diet, despite mainstream influencers...

    I am 29. My business makes me $2m in income a year. What next?

    QUESTION 
    Unless I see genuine potential for much more than $2M, I'd sell and not worry about money again. Probably start something else if I've got the itch. But I'd mainly do the things I want to do, now without any constraints.

    If money wasn't an issue what would you do with the majority of your time?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    It's funny how humans struggle with self-actualisation, purpose, and things like that. My dog's biggest concern was begging her best to get proper food while we had dinner, and finding the most comfy position under the blanket on the sofa in winter. She didn't browse forums to figure out what to...

    Building a video games business from scratch

    EXECUTION 
    I started making a new game a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure whether it'll go anywhere, but I needed to get it out of my head. I think the game could be good if I get it right, but it's in a niche-niche, so who knows. I've been following Robert Greene's work again. It really resonated with...

    I'm having AI anxiety. What is your thoughts on upcoming AI?

    CHAT 
    The problem is many people confuse AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) with ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence). The former is "just" a tool to solve stuff in a broad way. The latter is the scary one, theoretically surpassing humans, even experts at X field. I'm no expert, but the current...

    How long is 4 hours of sleep sustainable?

    HEALTH 
    This. Go do a quick read on what happens when you are sleep deprived for even just a few days (not to mention weeks or months), so you don't waste any more time on this for the rest of your life. Then get back to work.

    Tomorrow will be too late. You can't catch up this time.

    That's incredible! As a fellow (now amateur) musician, very happy for you :) So when are you delivering the next piece? ;)

    Building a video games business from scratch

    EXECUTION 
    I'm of the impression that marketing has become both easier than ever but also quite difficult to get heard in the sea of information. But I think it's doable. You insights are right. I think YouTube is a great marketing tool. So is reaching out to people who have the potential to care about...

    Video game development is my passion and I’m making it my fast lane strategy.

    EXECUTION 
    Sorry to hear you had a rough time. I know that fitting a commercial side project into everything life throws at us is not easy. I'm glad that you are still committed to finish the game after so long. I hope it'll pan out well at the end :)

    Video game development is my passion and I’m making it my fast lane strategy.

    EXECUTION 
    I hope you can pull this off. What worries me from what you've posted above is that you've been making this game for years. Have you got actual feedback from players? Building a prototype (not even a demo, just a prototype with cubes and spheres) and seeing if people find it fun? I imagine your...

    After Months of Dedication, I Fulfilled A Dream: MyGigz is Live and Already Receiving Its First Accolades!

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm working on a SaaS project, and I've been away from backend work for years, so I'm going a bit bananas. I started looking into AWS RDS for the database, but it's quite pricey and I'll probably end up with Supabase as well (just testing it since yesterday)...
