Yeah I used to as well. Would never go with cold emails for these kinds of things (for nothing really). Recommendations only!

4 days in Copenhagen and still have to find somebody unfriendly. Everyone is really way too nice here!

Interesting! I want to do this for a long time. Don’t want to do it myself because of I’m not good at it and not native.

Going to have a close look when you get some results!

Checking out houses in the area to buy and realise that almost everybody has a television in their bedroom??

Is that how everybody lives right now?

No wonder birth rates are declining 🀣

It is weird how quickly I got from totally amazed to kind of hating the whole AI image generating. Like ground braking technology that I don't understand and I'm already underwhelmed after a couple of years?

Reminds me of people complaining about the slow WIFI on airplanes.

Anyways, I learned a lot. It was really cool to have a peak inside his business. He did a lot of things differently (better!). The way he approaches projects, dealing with freelancers, runs his business completely stress free.

I was a big fan of Steve's podcast and when Steve reached out to be his Ruby mentor I didn't think twice.

Before and after the sessions I asked him many questions about running a SaaS and learned a lot!

I kind of got paid to have him mentor me instead? πŸ˜…

I totally recommend his services!

My side gig is coaching developers-turned-bootstrapping-founders.

It’s extremely satisfying.

Two recurring themes I help my clients with:

1) Raising prices. They know they should, but for β€˜reasons’ they don’t. I have strategies to break through this, the foremost of which is accountability.

Just shut down Nusii’s entire Affiliate program. 95% were bidding on our brand name, and the rest didn’t generate enough sales to hit the minimum $100 payout.

If anyone complains, I’ll still honor the full 20% of LTV for each referrals.

So glad to have it off my plate!

That was awesome indeed! I watched the documentary years ago but suddenly got reminded of it. Such a great story!

One of the best music stories that exist. And the story can’t possibly happen again. It is unique, pre internet, beautiful and it will touch your inner soul like nothing else.

I hope I’m selling this well :-)

If you want to blow your mind, listen to sugar man by Rodriguez then watch the documentary Searching for Sugar man.

I can’t possibly recommend something better πŸ‘Œ

Double annual revenue app for sale. Great way to get into products and not too expensive.

It will be hard to grow it tho, and probably not getting any return. But I think stuff like this is a great practice to get into products.

Not really. This is only for static data really. So probably never need to convert it to an ActiveRecord model.

Yes it is Ruby, but this gem uses ActiveModel as well, which is part of Rails.

I thought you missed a couple! But I just realized that I was doing it all wrong in English 🀣

My mind: If I was rich or if I was at that place, but the correct version is: If I were rich, or if I were at that place.

Otherwise you could add: fuera, fuese, estuviera, and estuviese to that list 🀣

Yes associations work.

For example account belongs to Country where country is an active hash class

I didn't really know about the active-hash gem before and now it has become one of my favorite gems. If you need an ActiveRecord kind of class but not backed up by a database table. For example Countries or in my case a list of integrations.

You can simply add them in a yml file like this.
