#32I'm currently learning React Native [0]. It's interesting that it is in such active development, as the course I'm taking (from a few months ago) already has some outdated lessons.
However, I've enjoyed the experience so far and look forward to building other apps with React Native.

#33How to run a bootstrapped startup as a single founder. I don’t have a problem with the tech etc. and those that see it and experience it, love it. However, that cliche stands true - marketing and sales are hard. ‘Cold emails’ feel extremely spammy to me, as I know when I’m on the receiving end they get deleted almost straight away. I’m working on content marketing (blog posts etc.), but that is a slow burn that doesn…
Out of curiosity, what does your startup do/what is it called? I suppose your comment itself could function as advertising.

#35CAF (C++ Actor Framework). I plan to use it to compete against Facebook.
Are you interested in building a Facebook competitor? If so, I'd love to hear when it launches.
I know many friends/family members who use Facebook despite my repeated attempts to explain Facebook's business model.
If your competitor respects user privacy, I'll certainly look into it.

#36A lot. I'm in college, so Stats, Japanese, Communication, and History there. But that's just the surface. I'm also reading a lot of eBooks (mostly nonfiction books: Deep Work, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Models: Attracting Women through Honesty.) I also want to read Wilson's new translation of The Odyssey. Finally, I just realized I had feelings for a friend of mine when she started dating someone else. I de…
Japanese- through a class in college? I just finished learning all of the Hiragana pronunciations. Trying to figure out if I want to commit to learning the language or not.
We're required to take 3 semesters of language (has to be the same one). I fell behind somewhere last semester, and now I'm more in "get a good grade" mode than "learn it for life" mode.
The way sentences are structured is fascinating though, so I would recommend it for that. But learning it to speak it would probably be a huge time-sink.

That was a temptation, but I held off as my Show HN didn't get much traction both times I posted it, so figured it is best not to come across as trying to force it.
It is however in my profile, if anyone feels so inclined..

Good on you for being honest with how you felt, it's something I still struggle with.

#39Re-learning C++. Took a layoff package from my previous co (product manager), and it's damned tough to find a similar gig without relocating. Besides, it's taking me back to my roots.
Been there, found a gig remote. Good luck with your search.

#40Elixir and OTP. Really enjoying it and writing some blog posts about it. My latest [1] was an experiment in creating my own simple supervisor. I am working my way up to having an Elixir application spread across many containers where the processes can pass messages to processes in other containers.

What is OTP?
