Hehe yeah work never actually ends but it's a different beast.

Also, in terms of funds, I understand that can be a constraint especially if you can’t finance things. You can always try to work and band with your community to solve problems. Gr…

A lot of know-how is learned on the job. What are the jobs? Well, look and see what your day-to-day looks like and if there’s a service you could provide to make it better. If you’…

How does entrepreneurship look? Often if there’s high unemployment there’s a window to be the job maker.

Looking to start working independently. Seeking any and all advice to start the process. Thank you in advance!

There's lots to elaborate. Tl;dr is toxic siloed teams, bad management, and even worse management above those managers. Plus, since the Amazon acquisition, Twitch has been bleeding…

I left Twitch not so long ago (May 2022), not surprised at all by this.

I've seen a number of these posts of the years and the goal post of "foundational knowledge" seems to change frequently... Do you want algorithms? Do you want networking? Do you wa…

This is awesome, great work.

Mmm objectively (black and white) lying is a stupid but man taking a moral high ground is even stupider. If you're caught into a position where you either need to lie or divert it'…

I would argue most if not everyone has the talent to reach being the "best of the best" but it takes time. Time, Time, Time... It's everything. Some can reach higher bars sooner si…
