Sad but is a reality

Do good. Be good. Respect 🫡

I ticked all of those boxes but honestly 3 & 4 were not applicable 😉

This resonates deeply with me, except for the coding and the monumental part.

story of my life

except last two points. I can't tell what that is

But how realistic is being well paid open-source contributor? One has to eat in the end 🤔

Linus Torvalds is a Millionaire.

True but Linus Torvalds is 1 in a Million success.

Bill Gates is a Billionaire.

This is the plan

🫂

I'm on step 7

Somewhere between step 1 and the last step

Be good !

Bingo

Inspiring.. 🫂🤙🏼🍀💜

You’re so damn right

Former cook here, changed job thanks to discovering Bitcoin and did my humble first PR in OSS into amethyst last week. One step at a time.

I'M GOING TO JOIN YOU. PAST TIME

Fukin awesome.

This is a great resource

build cabin in the woods.

A 'jobs to be done' board for freedom tech projects would be a great resource for devs looking for meaningful tasks that match their skill set and for the projects to attract contributions.

Thanks for all you do 🙏🏻

😎

also vibes of that scene in Johnny Mnemonic where he's complaining about how he's missing his rich mnemonic courier lifestyle

Any advice How does one support a family with this? I think it’s doable, but the prize is so large for a fiat job.

sooner or later imma end up following this plan. i need to be payed in sats ! ⚡⚡⚡⚡

- Learn to code

- Find Bitcoin

- ???

- Profit!

:)

Yes that hits hard! Story of my life as well. Devastating that people around me won’t get it. Feels quite lonely

I had to leave corporate software. It was sucking the life out of me. You're right, very lonely.

How do you manage with your income? I have been literally begging my wife that i want take a break n work on bitcoin . Like u said the fiat job is sucking all my energy. She just won’t agree. Since 2019 my life has been catch 22. Surviving by gods grace

I've been saving like crazy. I did start a web dev firm and I'm putting some energy towards building that freelance business. But it's not self-sustaining yet.

This plan has been in the works for a couple years. And it was still so hard to pull the trigger. I went back and forth with myself for nearly 6 months before finally taking the plunge.

Awesome. I wish you all the success!

You as well man. I found that interests and hobbies outside of work were what carried me through the toughest times. Hang in there!

thank you for your service

So I didn’t do any of those things above “find bitcoin.”

How can I become an “open source contributor “ for cashu if I can’t code?

When you discover that meaning can be more powerful than money

until you have to feed your children 😄

Naval says to get rich early so we can truly focus on things that give us meaning

Great solution 😃

4chan knows the way

😎

Coding still feels fake though.

if you need backend development, I'd love to be helpful. do java and python for years, professional in European banking.

How do you pay the bills in that scenario?

Appreciate all you do btw.

how can one accomplish this as an accountant!? wish i went to school for coding instead... 😪

No need for school, you can start learning html and JavaScript for free in freecodecamp and with YouTube channels like fireship, and keep learning a bit every day. If you like logic puzzles you will probably enjoy the computer side aspect more, if you prefer the artistic part, you will end up enjoying more the user interface part.

are accountants licensed by state? I have been looking for somebody to help me out with questions about my Texas based business.. I'll trade money or an into to coding

You can learn Google and AI. I'm self taugh with the help of Google and Youtube about 7 years ago.But presently I'm so grateful for the AI as wipe away all my tears

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have any ideas for a Web3 application that we can collaborate on to generate income? I'm a Python developer, so if you're not a developer yourself, that's perfectly fine. Let's brainstorm and explore opportunities together!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.This is an inviation link to the Channel I created for this https://www.nostrchat.io/channel/5d57b71ce36a3a899c8497aebfaaf19642a23541a3371496a17aa6327fbd8413

Not interested in coding or being techmasterflash.

Not interested in acquiring advanced techskills.

could you elaborate on which bits are a scam?

-Get arrested for building code others use in bad ways

-Go to jail

I'm between 4 and 5

longer term goals/write them down & dreamboards helped me achieve

- get thrown in prison

- transition, get moved to the women’s prison

- win

God-damn squirrel 😂

Stagnating between 6 & 7

Very accurate.. BTC was 4 for me

But how do you earn money?
