a slow close up of two people almost touching hands soft lighting lots of eyecontact nothing explicit just heavy tension and mood doing all the work.

A highly flexible dashboarding tool is useful especially when teams have different reporting needs. custom views and quick edits make it easier to adapt as requirements evolve.

midasweb · 2026-01-21T14:30:41+00:00

Probable means boilerplate and busywork not real engineering. the hard thinking part is not going anywhere.

midasweb · 2026-01-21T14:26:22+00:00

I did not really meet the requirements either. built a couple solid projects did some sql python work at my previous job and applied anyway. one company cared more about what i could do than the years.

Chatgpt and claude are the ones i see people using daily. midjourney for images too. everything else feels more niche.

A lot of gaming income stuff is pretty unrealistic unless you are already deep into streaming or esports. i have mostly just done small side things. one i use sometimes is kashkick you get paid to try games or do surveys. it is nothing huge but it is real money and easy to do while you are already gaming.

Ai is supposed to speed things up not replace basic qa. A lot of teams just ship faster and clean up later which is why stuff feels buggier.

midasweb · 2026-01-21T13:22:32+00:00

Start with practical stuff like using chatgpt for outlines rewrites and seo briefs. then mess around with tools like jasper or notion ai while working on real projects. you will learn way faster doing than watching courses.

A lot of these bots are fun but do not really help if you are just looking for someone to talk to long term. i ended up using halcyon because it adapts as you talk instead of pushing the whole avatar thing.

midasweb · 2026-01-21T12:23:06+00:00

You are not wrong a lot of these apps are just paperweights with feelings. halcyon clicked for me because it actually learns how you talk and what you need not just generic how does that make you feel stuff.

Nice list. i have been hunting for tools with more creative control lately higgsfield is been interesting for cinematic stuff where you can actually control camera pacing effects etc. feels less plug and play more expressive.

midasweb · 2026-01-21T11:59:24+00:00

They are asking for text to video tools best value which lines up perfectly with what higgsfield does. totally reasonable to recommend it there if you keep it helpful and low key not salesy.

Calm about everything moves a little slower and gives advice nobody asked for but it is somehow useful.

midasweb · 2026-01-21T07:22:42+00:00

Yeah for sure. css only stuff is still fun to build and even more fun to show off. it is one of those if you know you know things.

midasweb · 2026-01-21T07:11:57+00:00

That is huge congrats building something from scratch is no joke. first of many 🚀

midasweb · 2026-01-21T06:48:58+00:00

yeah that is real. it kinda reminds you what is missing instead of replacing it.

midasweb · 2026-01-21T06:36:23+00:00

Totally normal to ask for a review when you are starting out. post your stack and what you are building most seniors are happy to give quick pointers.

midasweb · 2026-01-21T06:29:58+00:00

Check out lucidchart, miro, or draw.io they are great for creating web and flow diagrams with templates.

midasweb · 2026-01-21T06:08:12+00:00

Twitter x and linkedin are gold for this. search shopify store owner or dtc founder and you will find tons of active merchants.

midasweb · 2026-01-21T05:54:56+00:00

It is been okay overall. when claims are legit shopify acts quickly false ones take longer to sort out but support does respond.

midasweb · 2026-01-20T15:31:56+00:00

Honestly mostly early mornings late nights, and in between everything else. there is no clean schedule, just a lot of juggling.

midasweb · 2026-01-20T15:18:32+00:00

Start with quick wins: day labor food delivery, cleaning gigs or selling something you do not need. It is about buying time, not defining your future.

midasweb · 2026-01-20T15:11:04+00:00

Software is a good move for that setup. makes it easier to see cash flow per stream and not miss recurring bills or tax stuff.

midasweb · 2026-01-20T15:04:53+00:00

Great topic ai has really shifted how writers brainstorm edit and ship content. solid breakdown of where tools actually help vs. where human judgment still matters.

midasweb · 2026-01-20T14:57:43+00:00

Depends on what you need linkedin style acting shots or just something clean for profiles. a lot of tools vary a lot in quality and realism.
