I just go for something that works... I don't really care that much about specs. Macs seem to be the least stress causing laptops

Stop reading books and start making stuff

Go somewhere where you are valued my friend

Yes but from the frame that the amount of diff problems you experience matters. Not your 10 years of experience solving 1 set of problems
navd | 4 years ago | on: NFT projects are just MLMs for tech elites
Huh? You would have to authenticate with Twitter using your crypto wallet to prove you own the wallet associated with the NFT. Twitter would know the contract addresses of the original NFT so even if you created your own smart contract with identical images it wouldn't be the original...

Go out of your way to show your work and progress regularly, just don't stay heads down all the time. Keep in constant communication with whoever would be interested in seeing it... bosses... users... etc

Fixed your typo.

This was a nice read, glad everything has worked out for Flavio. Part of why this is possible is that there is a lot more leverage available for those that are solo nowadays. It's an exciting time for sure

You know people link to their blog posts and stuff right?
navd | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is the HN of Cryptocurrency?
Pretty much Twitter at this point for me. There's too much pessimism on HN when it comes to crypto. I appreciate criticism but Twitter has all the deep thinkers

This is interesting. Any way to post the documents to be read publicly?
navd | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is fair payment? How should employees be compensated?
Yes it's modern day slavery. What's stopping you from taking some time and allocating it to building something for yourself?

You saved my project from certain death. Thank you
navd | 4 years ago | on: Tell HN: Stripe shut down my 4-year business with no explanation
Thank you Edwin. I really appreciate it!
navd | 4 years ago | on: Tell HN: Stripe shut down my 4-year business with no explanation
I'm currently running into this but the shutdown didn't occur until I was preparing for launch this week. I've gotten some success reaching out to them on Twitter but it's been a slow process convincing them that my business does not violate any of their T&C...
Please let me know if you have any other tips on resolving this in a fast manner...
navd | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Has anyone fully embraced an event-driven architecture?
Thank you for saying the things I didn't think I needed to elaborate on :-)
navd | 4 years ago | on: You Are Not Lazy or Undisciplined. You Have Internal Resistance
This sounds a little hand wavy and honestly just comes across as a lack of discipline. In my experience when you feel resistance you can get really far just sitting down and devoting a bit of time to doing the task at hand. It's hard and unmotivating at FIRST, but it tends to go away. If it doesn't just try again tomorrow. At least you got some work done.

Not sure if there are any communities. My general advice is to invest as much as possible in a good logging solution, traceability, and just general things to make debugging easier. Come up with a way to replay events easily. You'll thank yourself everyday a bug or issue pops up.

Honestly I see the opposite happening. A fresh wave of young distributed workers coming into urban centers.

It’s sad to see how pessimistic people here are against cryptos. Try flipping that perspective and see how this can benefit so many people in the world.
