Calling yourself a polymath is akin to calling your self a genius.

E was as much a as $40/pill (CAD) in the mid 90s in Montreal, Canada.

Brilliant article, thank you. Your experience mirrors mine from the 90s warehouse rave days in Montreal, Canada.

This article is not useful for a typical entrepreneur. Most work for many years with little chance of raising capital. This guy makes it sound like all you need is some experience and a good idea. And now he’s writing a “all I learned” article about his past 3 months. Give me a break. (And no offence OP but I do feel it sounds out of touch)

Age is meaningless… it’s all about how you feel. So nothing is really ever too late.

What would it cost Adobe NOT to acquire Figma? I interview several UI/UX and product designers every week and without exception the tool they use if Figma.

Living expenses are an incredibly valid reason.

I have a 8-core 2008 MacPro (desktop) which is still going strong. I replaced the video card and it’s easy to swap in new hard drives. Only issue with Macs is apple stops allowing so upgrades.

I love my work. I think that’s the answer.

To all those saying they don’t put an ounce more than what they’re paid to: imagine being a good employer and urgently you need an extra effort from your team and everyone just clocks out when you need them most cause it’s 5pm. I would clean house the next day.

Exactly

My tank costs about $160 in Canada. You guys are paying like half what we pay.

$2k? Yikes. I’m sure it’s cool cause I had the original OP-1 and it was lots of fun. But that’s just too expensive. You can get a serious analog synth at that price.

That horrific, I’m sorry you go through that.

It feels like the vast majority of the comments are negative towards the stock market and essentially saying “we may not recover this time”. The thing is, we always think that. We always think this time is different. We always think this might be the end. When Covid struck? It was different because the world economy was shut. When 2008 happened? It was different. 2000? Different. 1987? Different. Markets will eventually recover. It will not take you 4 decades to recover. Sure, it could take years. But buy good companies, dollar cost average, and realize your loss isn’t realized until you sell. Also realize that the best time to buy stocks is always, but especially when people are flooding forums with negativity.

It might surprise you to know that even the most brilliant people have imposter syndrome. We, as humans, are generally not good at evaluating our own true worth.
