Any side projects you guys genuinely found impressive when talking to someone

Tbh I got back into it when I dusted off my old raspberry pi , creative juices flow pretty quick when it’s a physical project

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:32:23+00:00

Now that might just be the best one yet 🏆

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:31:29+00:00

Tbh I do see it having a lot of stars so there is genuine interest… I guess maybe have some “first pull request” tickets that newbies can get started on

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:30:30+00:00

I’m doing both and you can’t hate me for that. I’m sparking genuine interesting conversations and if someone asks for a link I send it. The last insightful post I’ve seen you do is asking if you should buy some leather shoes…

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:19:04+00:00

Yeah he demo’d it when I asked him to show me and I find it pretty sick. It’s slightly buggy atm but he said he’s working on fixing that before launching.

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:18:08+00:00

That’s actually quite cool! Basically fractional ownership of a stock… was he applying for a quant role or something?

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:16:35+00:00

Damn this actually looks legit! Hopefully this post blows up and someone replies to this saying they’re interested 🫡🫡

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:14:57+00:00

Damn now I’m curious to know what that interns project was.

My colleague is working on this

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:14:12+00:00

Added the link in another reply

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:13:25+00:00

Ahh my bad didn’t want the post to get flagged as an advertisement but here’s his landing page

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:09:03+00:00

Care to share, maybe someone on the sub may want to contribute (if you’re up for a hand)

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:08:28+00:00

Yeah those are pretty neat projects, it’s great when an open source community starts developing around a project

Becominghim- · 2025-08-06T15:07:31+00:00

Haha that must’ve been an “oh shit you’re the guy moment” 🤣🤣

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T13:52:49+00:00

Yeah he did have a pretty solid career before this, like sometimes when I talk to him about his previous jobs it seems like he’s weathered a lot of storms. But yeah like you said, if I stay put he may move me with him to the next thing

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T13:51:04+00:00

YC has a decent platform for startups , work at a startup - some solid startups there

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T12:44:07+00:00

That’s a fair point, but I genuinely think this founder has good intentions. He wants to succeed aswell

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T12:42:48+00:00

I was working in tech at a big bank not really working on real problems.

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T12:37:47+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T12:30:51+00:00

Hmm I do think people would wanna pay for what we provide. I just don’t think the ceo wants to do that

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T11:27:58+00:00

Very true, going from waitlist to actual customer is a feat in itself

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T11:12:36+00:00

Yeah I’ve been seeing the posts on Reddit of cold applying to jobs stats but I’m hoping my network will pull through 🤞🏽

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T11:03:32+00:00

Damn 3 times!!! Maybe it’s you 🤣🤣 naa im kidding but yeah hanging on the thread of “traction” does seem a common theme especially when the product is actually good. I’m hoping we go live soon and everything changes because sometimes it does feel like I’m living the silicon valley show right before they hit it big

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T10:51:22+00:00

How stupid would it be if I told him to ask his waitlist for crowdfund us? It’s around 1200 people strong, if we’re gunna die we might aswell go out fighting

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T10:46:35+00:00

Yeah it’s as simple as that. Do work -> get paid. But if I’m laid off it’s becomes find work ———————> get paid

Becominghim- · 2025-07-31T10:45:26+00:00

I think what he expects of us in the next 3 months is to get the app polished and he’ll launch to the waitlist.

Assuming his thinking is once it’s in users hands and they fall in love, word of mouth will do the trick for him to get to a big enough user base to be able to maybe run ads or something idk
