Terse as I'm in a hurry, but wanted to offer some thoughts.
* Finish your degree, but be aware it's probably just a meal ticket.
* Adopt a philosophy of lifelong learning.
* Setting goals is good, but don't fixate on the number such that you miss an opportunity.
* Show your projects to your friends in the second group; someone will surprise you.
* Do your homework or hack your side projects at Jelly or a similar co-working group.
* Unless your project is very small, don't raze it, iterate it. This more or less applies equally to code and business (pivot).
* As you grow in confidence, show people from the first group your projects; someone will surprise you.
* Learn a new language about once a year. Be sure it's sufficiently different from the last one, i.e. C family one year, ML family the next etc.
* Read news.yc and make a note of the interesting tech people here are using. Read up on it.
* Don't read too much news.yc.
What school are you studying at?
- rodh257 16y agoWhat is Jelly? I'm intrigued.
- BobbyH 16y agohttp://workatjelly.com/ http://workatjelly.com/ Jelly is a casual working event. It's taken place in over a hundred cities where people have come together (in a person's home, a coffee shop, or an office) to work for the day. We provide chairs and sofas, wireless internet, and interesting people to talk to, collaborate with, and bounce ideas off of. You bring a laptop (or whatever you need to get your work done) and a friendly disposition.
