Why happiness and love is more important: a thread
I spent most of my 20s trying to become a billionaire. I was sold on the Zuckerberg / Jobs dream of making it big before I hit 30. I tried startup after startup. I failed at most but mildly succeeded in a few...

Never go to sleep on an argument. Treat your wife like a queen and she will treat you like a king. Appreciate the little things she does and don't ever miss an opportunity to tell her she's beautiful and that you love her. Also, congrats on upcoming marriage!

As CTO of a successful pharmatech company:
- Backend is Golang, Python (for AI and ML), gRPC
- Frontend is React and a mixture of Tailwind and custom CSS. TYPESCRIPT ONLY.
I will note that I will hire anyone who has a good attitude to learning. People can be trained :)

You can write incredibly complicated programs in Go (I used to work at a robotics company and we used Go for most of the robot control). You can write simple programs in Rust if you know it well enough.

My work told me about my condition lol. During the pandemic my manager kindly requested that I use my company health insurance for an ADHD assessment (after showing me some screenshots of things I was doing during video meetings). That's how I got diagnosed at 31 years old 🤣

It's not harder I'd say. Just time consuming. You need to maintain a whole lot of things. However, setting up and maintaining a server is a VERY useful skill to have.

It's no longer about changing the world and becoming a billionaire. It's about making just enough money that we can live comfortably, enjoy a little travelling, and spend time with each other. I have no stress. No insane urge to work myself to death.

Learning C is about the best thing you can do as a programmer. So many languages are C-based in their syntax, once you understand how good C works, you can pick up other languages at incredible speed. Also, you're not a real dev until you know the pain of memory management.

Scaling is a whole other ball game. That's going to involve load balancers and running multiple server instances. The difficulty in all of this is how deep you want to go down the rabbit hole. You can set up a load balancer and a couple of server instances in AWS / GCP / your

I just followed a solo dev on here and within minutes got a really warm, friendly direct message thanking me for the follow and telling me what they're working on. It seems daft on something like X, but it genuinely made me smile. Social media actually being social for a change.

After this, I changed my priorities. I got a job at an early stage startup and decided to learn as much as I could from the CEO. I also travelled and spent serious time figuring out who I was and what my passions were.

Don't hardcode dependencies, inject them. Use interfaces in the builder method to pass in the dependencies that you need. This is a clean abstraction and also forces the dependencies to comply to your interface.

For me, I usually set a small task that's directly related to the job they're doing. I make sure it wont take them more than 2 hours and I don't set a deadline. If they can't do it for a month but I like them, I'm happy to wait.

I am not an artist, so I regularly use Fiverr for any graphics stuff (it's worth spending a bit to get it right). SUPER happy with this little fella. Took the designer about 3 hours to turn this around as well.
