Always wondered why marketing gurus couldn't create any big companies. They write about people psychology, how to sell, how to create hypes and go viral plus they have the network of investors, CEO and brands.

And yet, they're not the people behind behemoths like Stripe, AirBnB, Uber - you name it - nor smaller cool companies out there.

Great work! I just started using Tendermint to write a cryptocurrency for supporting open source development and have several simple questions. Would appreciate it if you could answer them:

1) What's your estimated time to be able to run in production?

2) What do you think of using something like PostgreSQL to keep the state?

3) Is it a good approach to write cron, for example, to recalculate some values once in awhile and update the state by sending transactions?

4) What is the best way to handle random numbers?

To the author: have you ever learned a language?

There will always be people who like to learn languages by using some new methods and individuals who create them.

Since my native language is not English and not even in the same language category, I could say that you don't need all those "methods", apps and tricks.

Language learning is all about having the right mindset.

All you need is 3 things:

1) A good input for listening and reading and a good output in form of writing and speaking. Just find an enthusiastic teacher.

2) Alleviation of psychological blocks and obstacle like "I'm not good at this" or "I don't have a gene" or "I'll never speak like natives".

3) Knowing the big "why" as in "Why do you want to learn that specific language?"

So, basically, Senior Developer === Getting Things Done?

I noticed that when I was watching asset marketplaces and examples for both engines.

Unreal Engine seems more professional with advanced graphic and serious tools by default and Unity seems like an engine for indie studios who work on creating more creative games with unique styles. Of course, it's at first glance.

Thanks for the answer, I'll consider this in my decision.

1) Try to sell before you write the code like a company called Buffer did. All you need is just a landing page and not MVP.

2) Levels, as I know, had a YouTube channel with $1500-3000 of mostly passive income and already had followers before he created NomadList.

3) IndieHackers earns $1500-2500 after 5 months of work - the question here is can you properly live with a few $k so much time?

As I see it, the problem is in your mindset, more precisely that you're not evolving yourself. At some point, you just created a set of rules that hold you back in life. And you brain is constantly see the world through that particular set of rules: for example, CSS3 is boring, working in Tesla is awesome or I want to change the world, but don't have resources, therefore it's boring or the thing that if you are comparing "boring React" with "cool Autopilot in Tesla" shows the lack of understanding of the world.

Read Carol Dweck about growth mindset, change the mindset and start seeing the world differently.

And also, don't piddle "entrepreneur" and "startup" - I can argue that you really don't know how it works and you just have knowledge of it from cool articles, Tony-Stark-style business moves, and movies. Learn how it really works.
