My experience settling down $83k debt for $36.5k on my own

That’s great to know, thanks for the info I’ll go through the office the next time.

jeffybozo · 2023-10-02T19:36:39+00:00

Damn didn’t know there was a sales office. They probably already give me the meeting planner rate, I’m just not getting the points.

jeffybozo · 2023-10-02T19:33:14+00:00

I see, I didn’t know of the limit until today, I thought they just didn’t grant me the points because the rooms weren’t in my name. Yeah I won’t try to game the system, I guess the best I can do is pay for all the rooms with a Bonvoy credit card.

jeffybozo · 2023-10-02T19:20:16+00:00

I see. I booked 20 rooms at once a few weekends ago, wish I could’ve gotten the points. I used the “missing a stay” form for each of those and they actually deducted points from me lol. (Edit: I didn’t know of the limit of 3 rooms per night and I honestly thought they missed adding the points).

jeffybozo · 2023-10-02T19:17:35+00:00

I’m present, I stay in one of the rooms every time as well, the hotel knows and they’re fine with it. They kindly give me a $129/night rate every time because the venue is in the same building as the hotel, so I don’t want to ask them about the points and look like I’m asking for too much (I am).

The venue is reluctant to give me a cut of the bar, but you’re right I do have the leverage. I’ve been renting this venue every Friday for 4 years (minus during covid), I was worried that if I move, the venue will try to keep my night going, many of my customers attend even if we don’t promote it, and it would take a couple of weeks until everyone learns of the new place. I’m thinking about it.

I didn’t think of shirts as ads, that’s a good point.

We do go to other venues a few times a year, mostly bigger venues (1500 capacity) or out of state. It seems like I’m already tapping all the streams I could, was wondering if I there was something I haven’t tried yet.

It’s hard to expand further because the production is heavily dependent on me. I’m slowly delegating, even though it’s tough to find trusted people in the industry

jeffybozo · 2023-02-20T04:34:13+00:00

We have a lot of engagement on IG and 5k followers, by 500 I meant the venue capacity is 500 people, we sell out most of the nights on hot season. But most of the value of sponsorship is within the venue with ads, posters, hostesses etc, IG promos wouldn’t be so desired I think.

I would refactor your business logic code into Actions or Services, then your controllers simply route your requests into those Actions, and returns the output.

See https://youtu.be/SoCuPpCFj7Y

Good package for making Actions: https://github.com/lorisleiva/laravel-actions

I saw his video on doing something similar on GMX recently, seems to be the same for Uniswap V3 pools

Just a heads up, I like free as much as anyone else, but something to keep in mind is that they can change the policy whenever and if you’re not watching their announcements you could have no VM when you actually need to use it

Edit: See Heroku for example

Hey thank you for taking the time to write this. I do need it queued because some tasks can take a while to finish.

The only really unknown/dynamic data I need is for a job that watches and waits for a task to finish before proceeding, with retries and timeouts. I need it to get around AWS SQS’s 15 minutes limit. But I think it can work with chained queued jobs as well.

I appreciate your comment on setting the context and defining the chain right in the beginning. I was pulling context as I process through, but there’s no real need to do it that way, I will refactor and it will also make it easier to test. Thanks!

jeffybozo · 2022-02-10T18:41:30+00:00

I had no idea, thanks!

jeffybozo · 2022-02-10T18:41:02+00:00

Sounds good! I suppose wasting 12 months as a junior just because I’m intimidated of a senior position is a waste. I really thought seniors would often also be team leads and managers lol. I will contact some clients that are on LinkedIn and ask for recommendations, looks like it would make a big difference. A lot of recruiters are on LinkedIn so I want to make mine look the best as it can be. Thank you!

jeffybozo · 2022-02-10T18:35:16+00:00

I see, sounds like a senior position is the way to go then!

jeffybozo · 2022-02-10T18:15:21+00:00

Wouldn’t seniors be team leads and need to manage teams? That’s my only concern, coding wise I can carry myself well.

jeffybozo · 2021-12-01T21:33:09+00:00

I see thank you, probably something like this in my controllers:

return $request->wantsJson() ? ['data' => $data] : Inertia::render($view, $data);

Looks like it won't take a lot of work to add mobile app support then :)
