500+ guess that makes me magic
 

Big monies over here. Well not really I'm 7k in the hole on this latest project. It's a complete fail, so I'm looking for another round of investment to roll it into something grander. This is getting a bit ridiculous, but I figure it takes that kinda personality to spark something not a J, in a different way that gets the crowd thinking.

I'm trying to do this easy, one step out of the current, safe bets until reach that next level. After you gain some rep, go for a crowd-funding, social-media blitz with a two step out idea. It can work, but that first damned success is so difficult.

So far the reality is I quit school a few weeks from completion to focus my burnout towards a project that is utter fail, looking at consolidating all those energies into a potential win, and wondering if the gamble is calculated enough to justify what seems on the surface as mass insanity. Maybe so maybe not. Guess the people get to decide my fate. Okay then.

Year and a half of sobriety, feels bout the same as 6 months init, except I got less spikes of high and low, a bit more wisdom and insight. My layered thought is less chaotic, and more goal-oriented and focused in.

Keep with it. It's worth it. Maybe the occasional trigger for life, but when you put in the time, and got other things going on, you can keep it from growing. You can allow the urge to ride out for the moment, keep perspective, and carry on as you were. Might take you a long while, but is attainable.

You got some issue you come see me. I listen.

I'm 18 months today and feeling good. Not sure what kind of project you're into, but sometimes epic fails make for epic comebacks. Stay positive. Get down to the funky beat.

Congrats to you both on 18 months :)

Hope whatever it is turns out ok Bassmasters

Thanks ppl.

I'm goin after that cloud. Docker containers multiple apps auto provisioned from private repos, frozen versions, all cross compatible.

It's like a casino you put in the tokens, out spits the apps with resources allotted per coin. I can make it super cheap keep it to name only else a token an IP. Got the concept about halfway proven out. Need to find the motivation to test out the rest this weekend.

These corporate hippos keep going after the developer, but it's good enough for the consumer. No clue why they don't see it. Gotta make it so. It's super high risk, but damned that's a big pot o gold.

This the kind of crazies I'm dealing with right now:

not gonna say how many of those out searching for little green men right now, but I threw out over 5k lines of code into a project that I screwed up beyond repair, now burning a hole in the pocket. Don't ever try to be a nice guy go way under your competition, don't tell the people who develop your software's community how to get their system going for free (open source model here) don't be nice, you'll be perceived as a jerk. Got it? Be a jerk. Then you win. I hate it.
