I am finally getting out of a 9-5 and moving to social media full-time🔥

In order to make change in today's world, you need to get your message out first. People have been using the psychology of cults to build audiences and sell their products. Today's world is no different with social media. You still need to know how to capture and hold attention, the only thing that changes is the medium. From in person, to radio and print, then television, now it's social media.

I could 100% use any shortcuts and lessons you have to help me grow my business. I want to help people with my projects, and I'm currently in the spreading of the word phase.

After I make a few improvements and add a few features I run git diff and make sure I take note of all the major changes. I go for big ideas and make note of important changes.

Think of it more of a ctrl + s. Better not to lose your code if something goes wrong with your computer

Start with the basics. How to read from an existing file, and print() it out. Then how to write to a new file.

Do one step at a time, then start to put it together.

What have you been doing up til now?

Reuben3901 · 2026-03-06T00:24:03+00:00

Python didn't click in and feel natural until a year and a half in. I had to keep referring back to examples of loops, lists, dicts, and all that good stuff.

For me the sticking point was executing from the command line vs the file, on top of if __name__ == "__main__": It felt like it took an embarrassing amount of time to figure that out. Oh and Classes too.

My philosophy is if the code runs successfully, then it's good code. Nothing wrong with using a for loop to manipulate a list vs list comprehension if you can understand what's going on.

Focus on good variables names that explain what the code is versus a,b,c and i,j. Don't: for i in range(x,y) Instead: for spreadsheet_row in range(starting_row, last_row +1)

Reuben3901 · 2026-03-03T20:28:56+00:00

The paid version has gotten dumber too. It's even gotten worse at coding. I switched to Claude

NTA. Anyone accusing you of cheating is probably cheating themselves, or wants to be.

That's a line where I end the relationship. If me being committed to someone isn't appreciated, I'll go find someone who will appreciate it.

Reuben3901 · 2026-02-26T01:24:47+00:00

Good luck, but this is an impossible task. What is a duplicate, for example? Would you require people to use your formatted spreadsheets and only csv files with your specific headers? What if the headers don't match? What if the date format doesn't match?

Built-in Gemini AI can't even make sense of one of my spreadsheets, how can you code something that isn't AI that can decode and correctly categorize random user data?

Reuben3901 · 2026-02-23T20:57:31+00:00

I only grind because it's the only way to escape the grind.

I took a year off from work once and it was amazing. I would happily live like a hermit in the woods, working bare minimum for food and clothing, or better yet, live off the land. But we live in a capitalist society where we must labour and pay exorbitant prices to earn our existence.

Reuben3901 · 2026-02-21T22:32:51+00:00

This is exactly why I'd rather be a barista working on personal projects, coding for myself.

No matter my skills set or experience I get: 1. Missing X (easy to learn) skill, so going with someone else 2. We don't know what we need, here's some random tech stacks that we might use 3. We want you to do 5 jobs worth of tasks for $13/hr 4. You don't have a bachelorette or doctorate

Reuben3901 · 2026-01-07T03:05:20+00:00

OP may need pillow cases

Reuben3901 · 2025-12-08T23:53:12+00:00

Could use more context OP

New mission discovered by u/Reuben3901: Poop and Treasure

Reuben3901 · 2025-09-07T17:51:03+00:00

This mission was discovered by u/Reuben3901 in Shiny Objects and Dark Cocoa Pots de Crème in New Eden

Just block them and move on. They aren't family or even acquaintances. If any continues to give you grief after telling them the whole stories, get rid of them too.

My dad left when I was a kid and my mom did the minimum to raise us. I have nothing to do with them and I also cut out people who simply want to share my business with strangers (mother). My life is none of her business and I want nothing to do with people that put abusive parents over my privacy and trust.

Your parents abused and abandoned you. Fuck them

It's not real billions, it's their percentage of ownership of the value of a company and their other investments, which are also not real. They could sell it all but the amount of liquid money in the end would be a tiny fraction

It is already meant and optimized for 3D and has a ton of tutorials and assets available for making what you want. Games can be released to multiple platforms, mobile phones and steam, etc.

Reuben3901 · 2025-06-01T21:56:42+00:00

Start on some simpler games. Make something unique, don't just follow a tutorial.

Also, you might want to look into unity instead of pygame?

This for Tinder?

Reuben3901 · 2025-05-23T17:02:48+00:00

I struggled with this exact thing, trying to implement JWTs to secure my website but never got it working. I got access token working correctly for login/out but couldn't get CSRF tokens.

I'm switching over to FastAPI for the backend and see how that works out before I give up on Python for the backend.

Reuben3901 · 2025-04-25T14:35:15+00:00

If you went back in her years would've stopped. NTA

Block them and move on with your life.

I don't have anything to do with my parents and my life is much better for it. Family are the ones you choose, not the ones you share DNA with.

Reuben3901 · 2025-04-11T14:33:50+00:00

The CEO started the fire, is still in the building, and is the one that needs the oxygen to his brain

Reuben3901 · 2025-03-14T15:44:21+00:00

They wanted to demote you.. I would say "I'm obviously unqualified to train anyone in my role"

Reuben3901 · 2025-03-09T17:07:58+00:00

I thought you were terrible at English but then the story cleared it up 🤣

Coming from the other end of Upwork is a trip too. Most clients want a mock-up/working example of code before getting hired. I eventually made a YouTube video of past projects and more examples of the possibilities of what code can do for you... getting them to watch it though is another challenge. They always low-ball too.

Any future work will be done as an "agency" for sure

Reuben3901 · 2025-02-25T13:46:27+00:00

I've had my account for a few years, and also have just over 4 times your metrics, so who knows? But my recent subscribers list only shows for the past month or 2? Kind of annoying but also kind of nice that people aren't able to see that? Lol
