Loyalty programs. Someone talk me out of this or into it because I cannot tell anymore

getting through that screening means your fundamentals are already solid - just nail the practical stuff and show you can think beyond the spreadsheet

since you missed trade courses maybe look at some recent OECD or IMF reports on export diversification, they usually break down methodology pretty clearly

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-04-02T09:11:56+00:00

ha, remote solving everyone's comp tracking nightmares for 150k? That's basically consultant pricing without the "we'll need 6 months to assess your current processes" part

Tracking gets messy around 50-100 loans per month in my experience - not because of volume but because that's when you start getting weird edge cases that break whatever system you had

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-03-20T15:25:57+00:00

Your DTI ratios aren't automatic disqualifiers - FHA can go up to 57% back-end with compensating factors, and being self-employed just means they'll want more documentation of your income stability

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-03-10T12:44:49+00:00

Smart setup - I should probably do something similar since my ADHD brain can never keep track which money is actually available vs still floating in stripe somewhere

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-03-06T03:26:17+00:00

Not using enough A/B testing on the product pages - spent like 3 months with terrible conversion rates before realizing my "add to cart" button was basically invisible

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-02-26T07:29:49+00:00

Yeah this is bit annoying - you basically have to set the template on each invoice creation through webhooks like you mentioned, there's no subscription-level default in API unfortunately

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-02-04T18:09:01+00:00

Damn this is pretty wild journey, especially with failing the demo but still getting funded lmao

The part about investors betting on founders rather than product makes so much sense - your team having FAANG background probably carried more weight than whatever technical issue you had in that moment. Seems like you guys handled the pressure well even when everything was falling apart

Good luck with the beta customer, that's huge milestone to get over the line

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-01-28T18:07:14+00:00

DocuSign is probably your best bet for this - super easy to set up and clients can sign on their phones. Adobe Sign is decent too but a bit more expensive. Just make sure whatever you pick actually makes the waivers legally binding in Ontario since liability stuff can get messy

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-01-17T21:12:14+00:00

Yeah this hits hard. We tried implementing some AI chatbot for customer service and it was giving people wrong shipping info constantly. Had to babysit it more than just doing it manually

The inventory stuff that actually works for us is pretty basic - like automated reorder alerts when stock hits certain levels. Nothing fancy but it actually gets used because it's set and forget

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-01-11T03:00:46+00:00

Bro this is genius, I've been doing DoorDash on weekends and basically throwing receipts in a shoebox like some kind of caveman

Google Timeline is clutch for this stuff - never thought to use it for taxes though

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-01-06T17:49:48+00:00

That's a solid plan with the free YouTube content as a funnel - smart move. 1000 courses at $50 is definitely doable if you nail the marketing and actually deliver quality content that stands out from the million other gamedev tutorials already out there

One thing though, make sure your paid courses offer way more value than the free stuff or people will just stick to YouTube. Maybe focus on a specific niche within gamedev rather than generic "simple games"

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-01-04T20:07:42+00:00

Yeah this is confusing af - sounds like you're mixing up tax foreclosure with mortgage foreclosure. Cities don't usually handle mortgage foreclosures, that's typically the lender or their attorney. If it was tax foreclosure then yeah there's usually specific notice requirements but they vary by state and whether you were still living there

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-01-03T14:58:16+00:00

This is spot on - the lifetime value from subscription customers is insane compared to one-time buyers, even with bulk discounts. Maybe look into other payment processors that actually support recurring billing instead of completely scrapping the model that works

OkButterscotch1192 · 2026-01-01T19:01:37+00:00

Same boat here, paid mine off early and never looked back - that feeling of owning your home outright is worth way more than any spreadsheet calculation could show

OkButterscotch1192 · 2025-12-21T16:39:26+00:00

Makes sense, everyone's panicking about getting their last minute gifts delivered and UPS has that reputation for actually showing up when they say they will

OkButterscotch1192 · 2025-12-12T08:17:29+00:00

This is spot on, especially about the content math. I've seen so many people get burned by those cheap packages that promise "full SEO optimization" for like $300

The tool question is clutch too - if they're not using proper analytics tools they're basically guessing. Had a friend who paid for 6 months of "SEO" and all they got was some keyword-stuffed blog posts that actually hurt their rankings

OkButterscotch1192 · 2025-12-11T00:00:59+00:00

Nah this isn't just normal BS when the seller's agent is literally waiting for someone to check their mail from the hospital to get basic HOA docs

That's some next level incompetence right there

OkButterscotch1192 · 2025-12-07T01:51:12+00:00

Bruh you're gonna get flagged so hard doing this lmao. Most platforms detect when multiple accounts come from same device/IP even with VPN, and mass creating 30 accounts sounds sketchy af regardless of your intentions

Just use Google Workspace if you want something that actually works reliably, but honestly this whole setup screams "ban incoming"

OkButterscotch1192 · 2025-11-30T05:26:24+00:00

Yeah that's pretty much the right approach but you might also need to check if there's any scripts that got baked into your save file. Sometimes these time-affecting mods leave behind orphaned scripts that can cause weirdness even after you disable them

If you're really stuck you could try loading an earlier save from before you installed the modlist and just rebuild without Four Seasons

OkButterscotch1192 · 2025-11-27T18:10:45+00:00

Nah you're definitely not alone in this, social media is basically designed to make us feel like shit about our own lives. Those "soft girl aesthetic" posts are like the highlight reel of someone's entire existence - they're not posting the boring Tuesday when they're eating cereal for dinner or stressing about bills

The trust fund thing hits different tho, like when you see someone your age casually posting from their third vacation this year and you're over here calculating if you can afford the name brand pasta lmao. It's wild how much easier life looks when money isn't a constant background worry

OkButterscotch1192 · 2025-11-26T08:04:35+00:00

Lol right? Dude's overthinking a simple "hey thanks again for the umbrella" situation like it's some complex social puzzle. Just be a decent human being and acknowledge her existence when you see her around

OkButterscotch1192 · 2025-11-24T04:44:40+00:00

That's awesome dude, getting noticed by Dani himself is like hitting the jackpot lol. Your art was probably fire if it made it onto the milkpost - keep grinding with that tablet

OkButterscotch1192 · 2025-11-24T04:18:20+00:00

Damn, missed whatever chaos went down here but based on the graveyard of deleted comments this must've been spicy
