    HOT! From Laid off to CEO: Building a Multi-Million Dollar Software Company [Progress Thread]

    06/05/24 Update #8 I’m in the process of moving to my girlfriend's place to save money or I will be homeless with the $2,000 rent my apartment moved to. She is always willing to help because I never ask. I would probably be screwed without her. I’ve been looking for a job but haven’t found...

    HOT! Elon Musk tells Disney to "go f*ck themselves"

    Half baked doesn't get you to space though (at least not in one piece). You can read about all the rocket failures (especially the ones in the early days) on the Kwajalein Atoll. You can see the entrepreneurial grind and process to get there. I recommend reading Walter Isaacson's book on Elon...

    Update didn't get the job after 3rd round of interviews. Good thing I never counted on it and still continue to work on my project. Although, I do need money to survive and not having an income will be a problem. Charging forward on entrepreneurship...

    HOT! Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    I'm actually more impressed that disconnected societies across oceans like the Egyptians, Mayans, people of Teotihuacan could create similar structures. There had to be shared knowledge and I'm wondering from who?

    GOLD! MJ's 4 Conditions: The Definitive Guide on WHEN to Quit Your Job...

    Fortunately for me, I got laid off. I got the "quit" I needed to start. I saw this post last year and waited because I felt something coming with prior company layoffs happening over a course of a year. So it worked out. Quitting sooner would have been more disastrous.

    HOT! From Laid off to CEO: Building a Multi-Million Dollar Software Company [Progress Thread]

    Bad analogy considering you need seats to fly a plane. Anyhow, I do know that. Since I'm also the principal artist as well as the programmer and designer, sometimes I'd rather draw and animate then code. If I'm not in a mental place to code I don't do it. Also, I do not finalize artwork...

A recruiter from a well-known Silicon Valley corporation contacted me, but they ghosted me after the initial interview, even though it went well. To buy myself some time, I also renewed my lease for 3...
