I emailed the CTO of a company my side project and now he mentors me for a couple hours every week. He helps me with my project, gives me recommendations, and tells concepts for me to read up on, and learn before our next call. I need to win so I can make him proud.

I wonder whether the same holds true for musical instruments. Do trumpet players always view new instruments as a different kind of trumpet?. Can anyone confirm?.

@paularambles Should I just pay for "Cloud" where it can be stored on someone else's hard drive and hope their company doesn't go bust? Or just backup to a newer drive?.

Building in stealth is the goofiest thing I've ever heard. Connecting with the right people will 10x your progress. I email competing companies showing them my project to put the fear of god into them. The CTO of one of those companies is now my mentor.Scare them into hiring you.

I have a list of 20+ companies I want to work for. Pick one, and make a demo project to showcase my skills in their niche. Then research exactly who to email this to. Rinse & Repeat.

Save the PDFs you find interesting. Links die. Sites vanish. Content gets locked away. You are the curator of your own digital library. When you find something worth reading, preserve it. Bookmarking ≠ preserving.

IT WENT SO WELL!. We spent most of it talking about my side project and he actually recommended me people to connect with to get more advice. Then he offered me an internship. LFG.
Guys I have a zoom meeting with the CEO of a startup on Tuesday. I emailed him one of my projects because I thought it would be useful to incorporate in his product. I didn't actually expect it to work, now I am kind of nervous.

Writing exposes the flaws in your thinking. Your ideas are perfect until you try to explain them to others. Write more.

Just do things. Don't talk about them first, otherwise you are robbing yourself of the real feeling and getting a cheap dopamine hit instead. Just do things, and talk about them after.

I am limiting my time I spend scrolling on here. I have come to realise that I become a memetic parrot and internalise ideas that are not my own. I think the solution is to be more intentional with the content I consume, taking time to properly reflect on what I read.

Do people actually have the opinion that we shouldn't build cities vertically?. - Make elevated walkways between tall buildings to reduce travel time.- Building vertically frees up land to make parks.- Put trains on the bottom. What are the opposing arguments?

Nothing is too hard. Literally all you have to do is break things down into smaller tasks. If something seems unachievable then your perspective is too zoomed out.

I have always considered myself a “mental sprinter”. I can do high quality work for short bursts (a couple hours of intense problem solving) . but I struggle to do repetitive tasks over a long period of time. (Driving, data entry, etc) . Anyone else think like this?.

More reasons to email:. I had an assignment that got a pretty bad grade that I didn't agree with. Emailed the Lecturer about how the feedback on my assignment was inaccurate and not correct. They agreed and gave me a wayyy better grade. WTF email is a superpower.

Someone needs to make a contribution graph for the amount of posts you make. Enter your username and get the graph. I would make it, but I am too locked in. It would be free clout.

Many newcomers want to get more followers, often looking up to bigger accounts. Please ask yourself: Are you here to watch a counter tick up, or build meaningful relationships? . Big accounts aren't automatically better accounts. Focus on being authentic. Quality > quantity.

It it literally as easy as a couple hundreds words in an email. Take the shot.
Here is how one cold email changed my life:. I had a friend working in the propulsion research laboratory (PRL). I emailed the professor in charge and mentioned my bro. I sent my resume, and he offered me a job. That one email earned me:.- A research position in the PRL.- An 11%.
