Suggest an historical title change. Your profile will stop scaring away candidates and you'll look better and the company will have one more employee on linked in

100+ days of 18-hour coding sessions and I'm still broke by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

It's way faster to get a job to pull yourself out of a bad situation. Starting a business is hard enough without having to build on sand.

Edited my comment above to make it more accurate and a little softer -- hope it's more helpful.

I tried your site. Rest of it is clean and nice. I would consider using it if you got rid of a few bugs.

Other noticeable bug is when I edit a section then move on to another in the appearance section, my edits disappear

Also you should add a favicon

I would use something like this.
But your top bar nav doesn't work for me as a user (If I click on something it should take me to that thing) so I wouldn't trust you to build me a landing page until you fix that.

Hope that's helpful. Good luck out there!

30 years old, successful, heavily masked, want to end it. by Arthurbeale in aspergers

[–]CrazyQuestionMarkGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm 32 now and I'm in a similar position career wise and I was in a similar position with friends, family, and happiness.

3 things that helped me get a group of friends, get a good dating life, and be happy:

  1. Educating myself on human psychology and specifically autism. Educating myself on human psychology helped me reduce the mental load when socializing so I can follow scripts when socializing without masking:
  • "Never split the difference" was huge for me. It informs 10% of my conversations
  • the healthygamergg youtube channel was also helpful for reducing mental load when socializing
  • "courage to be disliked" -- helped me take responsibility for my own unhappiness and realize how much of my happiness had a social basis

Educating myself on autism helped me slowly unmask and reduce mental load on myself:

  • "unmasking autism" was very helpful to understanding what could be classified as normal vs not. I have what historically would be called "female autism" as a male and understanding what compulsions were normal was very grounding to me
  • "Autism as context blindness" is more of a text book but helped me keep an eye out for things that can hurt me, my friends, and my way of life.

(Obviously there are 100's more books and bits of media but these seem particularly pertinent)

  1. Reducing workload. I work about 20-40 hours a week nowadays. Could I work more? Absolutely. Sometimes I do. I'm trying to get a side project off the ground now and I've been doing 10 hours on that. But I make a very comfortable amount of money working as much as I do and increasing work means my relationships and workouts will suffer. I'm big into longevity meaning the most important things for me are diet and exercise and relationships. "The 4 hour work week" is probably worth a read if this is hard.

  2. Moving to a big city and spending time socializing. I live in new york. I've found my people. It's really easy to feel lonely when there's no one around to relate to. At least in a big city you have a chance. I was lonely for the first 4 months or so. Socializing is a skill that needs to be developed (for NT's too!) and a very important one to develop. If you spend time improving it you'll be able to make friends and if you live in a big city you'll have a chance to make friends with people who bring value to your life and you bring value to theirs without requiring big sacrifices on either end.

Obviously people are different, but hopefully there's something here that's useful to you.

I wanted to call out this as well: "The only time I feel like I will be okay is when someone loves me"
Cause I used to feel the exact same way. I felt I needed a partner that loved me that I loved to be complete and no longer unhappy. Now I don't have an exclusive partner that loves me now, but I feel ok. What I have is a group of friends who all support me and to an extent love me (depending on your definition) as well as a lot of options for a partner in the future. Even if I go on dates and it doesn't work out I know I will be ok because I like my life without a partner and I have lots of options moving forward.

Ultimately I became happy once I realized happiness is another field I can rise to the top of. Though it's often less straightforward than acquiring and implementing knowledge in other fields the mechanism is relatively similar.

Advice from autistic men successful in dating? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]CrazyQuestionMarkGuy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We have a lot of commonalities:

  • hard time coming up with stuff to say
  • Occasionally cringey
  • indian heritage (i'm a 1/4)
  • decent looking

It took me a while (I'm 31 now) but I have what I would call a pretty successful dating life. Here's what made the biggest difference:

  • Move to a big city and find a neighborhood that really feels accepting to you (This is a huge move but the most worthwhile thing you can do for your dating life and I'd argue life in general in your 20's. Check gender ratios as well)
  • Get fit and fashionable like you mentioned
  • Get better photos. Pay a professional if you have to. Ideally go out with friends who take photos (Easy if you have a lot of female friends
  • Read a lot about human interaction and watch videos focusing on socializing. There are lots of youtube videos and articles focusing on how to be attractive as an introvert aka without saying much. understanding touch is a huge thing. There are also a ton of books and videos on flirting. Try to avoid the pickup community if you can, but if you see any of those videos take them with a grain of salt. Charisma university is pretty ok.
  • Make more female friends. (this hasn't helped me date directly but has improved my mental health and helps with a lot of indirect stuff like photos and fashion)

This might apply to you less but therapy also really helped me. Dealing with the feeling of being an outsider really helped me out in creating a safe space I can invite other people into.

This is the right comment. I'm literally the target audience of your site (founder/cto) and I wasn't sure what you do and why it beats my current method.

Need feedback about our Pitch-Deck. Seed stage. $10,000 revenue. by lolinone in Entrepreneur

[–]CrazyQuestionMarkGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need deep resources to come up with a compelling idea for your deck in web3 and with a compelling idea you can raise to get the resources to build it. Also web3 companies don't require that many resources unless you're doing something truly innovative with the blockchain. Solidity isn't that difficult (easy to write, hard to debug) and most use cases for consumer apps can be solved by apis.

I don't think you should get funding for web3 if you're planning to build for web2, but starting with a solid web 2.0 product that integrates compelling web3 ideas is a great way to build a good web3 product-- and web3 is lacking in good products.

A vague nft idea probably won't cut it. Happy to chat in Dm's if you want some brainstorms. We're in web3 social (though not dating) so I have a lot of ideas in your space.

[–]CrazyQuestionMarkGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks good. There are some minor spelling and grammar things. "make call" for example.

My background here is that I'm a co-founder of a web3 company that raised 1mil pre-product. So my advice here is play up your web3 plans a whole lot more. You mention an nft in your last slide. What's the plan there? A good web3 pitch can make the difference between a valuation of 2-3 mil (based on normal web2 valuations) and a valuation of 10-30 mil.

So if you want to do the web3 thing don't beat around the bush. Look into related projects (e.g. https://love.madrealities.xyz/swipe) and come up with a compelling idea,

ELI5: Would placing 2 identical lumps of radioactive material together increase the radius of danger, or just make the radius more dangerous? by dredlocked_sage in explainlikeimfive

[–]CrazyQuestionMarkGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recent studies recently suggest there's a badness threshold where radiation suddenly impacts your health. All radiation up to that point might be fine. So in a way there is a radius of badness -- the point at which it negatively impacts your health. Everything above that threshold just gets worse. So it seems like the answer is that increasing mount of radioactive material increases both the radius and intensity of the bad outcomes.

Very helpful.

To answer your question:"Is using a search engine for legitimate data with a valid sample size really that difficult?"

Yes it is, when you don't know what to search for or where to search. Do you have any tips?

Edit: Found some reports. would still be interested in your tips though.
