I think pound for pound, Bali is one of the best destinations on the planet for this lifestyle. The only downsides are it gets a little bit rainy in Dec to Feb and my passport only allows me to stay 30 days or max 60 days if I get an extension.
But otherwise, it’s amazing. Fantastic food everywhere. Surfing and diving. Everything from local pubs to super luxury beach bars. And you can rent a villa with a pool for the same price as a shoebox apartment in a city elsewhere.
Oh and go-jek is utterly amazing. I can get 4 beers delivered to my villa by motorbike for about $5 USD.

1/ I’ve had a few days to reflect on the last 4 months of my startup challenge and I think it’s time for a pivot / recalibration

Thread 👇🏻
2/ The challenge began with me wanting to practice execution again, after almost 3 years in a senior corporate role where I didn’t touch any code. I missed building things, had the luxury of free time, so it seemed like a good goal to just “practice shipping”.
3/ Now, after 4 consistent launches in 4 months I feel I’ve proved to myself I’ve still got the knack. I can still build and ship a decent MVP within a given time constraint. But I’m not happy.

Not many people go from launch to sustaining lifestyle in just a couple of months. Maybe that happens to some in survivorship-bias-land. But back in the real world it takes a lot longer. My last SaaS took 6+ months to get to just a few thousand $ MRR.
And that was when I was focused on ONE SaaS product and spent a good amount of time on content marketing every day.
I’ve said many times that revenue isn’t my short term goal. I’ve launched a free open source app, an app that charges $1, an app that has pricing but isn’t charging anything yet, and a job board in a competitive niche. These aren’t the actions of someone focused on revenue 😅

Without a doubt, yes. But then who is to say which strategy is right? Build another MVP or focus on an existing one? I feel like I will “know” when it’s the right time to really focus.
In the end whether you’re successful from iterating one product consistently or successful from trying many things and seeing what works - it’s all down to the chaos monkeys anyway 😅
I think the 12 startup method suits me best because I haven’t quite decided what industry / area I want to focus on. So it’s all experimentation. Even if I wanted to focus on one thing I don’t know what that one thing would be. Yet!

yoonmin au | yoongi didn’t expect to worry so much on his last year of high school, it should have been just the inter school tournament but now on top of that he has to prove Coach he’s a great boyfriend for his son, understand Jimin, control his hormones and handle crazy rumors
once again, based on certain tropes and scenes of the tv show friday night lights.
don’t reply to the thread or it will break.

this is the continuation of another au, read this if you want to know how yoongi and jimin got togeher!:

They are making out. On Yoongi’s couch. Unbelievable.

Yoongi has gone from some sloppy kisses in a couple of truth or dare games to actual make out sessions with Park Jimin, who apparently has more experience than him and can make Yoongi lose his mind in a matter of seconds.

I've been very critical of the idea of changing Doctor Who, a character played for the last five decades by men, into a woman. So how was it, now that the time has come, we finally have a female Doctor, and the season is upon us?
Warning, this is likely to be a massive thread.
Actually, it was okay. Jody Whittaker was fine - she wasnt great, she didnt blow me away, but as a first outing in such an iconic role she did perfectly acceptably. I have no doubt that as the series progresses, she will grow into the role and make it her own.

1/ Long Reads Sunday #13. What a week it was. We saw: XRP surge and (momentarily) flip ETH; a massive ratchet up in scrutiny around exchanges; a significant Bitcoin bug and so much more. Get your coffee black and steaming, it’s long reads time.
2/ Firstly, damn XRP. Ripple went crazy this week, doubling its market cap Thursday-Friday and bringing back echoes of 2017. @crypto_macro pointed to a couple of the better attempts at explanation.
3/ One part of the XRP surge story seems to have been significant volumes on BitMEX. If 2017 was the year of altcoins buying on Binance et al, 2018 has been all about leveraged trading, shorts, and perpetual swaps on BitMEX.

One of the best/worst things about publicly identifying as a scientist on twitter is you get these little gems frequently in your mentions

Yah bro, this sounds totes legit
BTW I get these mentions all the time but they are not usually this aggressive
The usual pseudoscience spam post usually contains a link to some article written by the spammer, and they usually refer to themselves in the third person throughout. The hashtags are normal though.
