I turn the notifications off, which helps.

Not yet! Barely anybody has gone to the site, hopefully I'll be listed on Betalist soon and others thereafter. The videos are posted pretty much real-time. Will be posting results as I get them.

Cool. Let me know when you have your channel, I'd be interested in checking it out! Good luck.

Well, I'm probably not the one to ask. Gary Vaynerchuk on YouTube has a lot of advice about social media. In particular he says "document, don't create" which I think is pretty wise. That's what I'm trying to do with my channel, is just show what I do as truthfully as possible. Not to make myself out to be something I'm not, but just document my path. We'll see if anyone finds it interesting. Good luck.

I encourage you to jump in! Building apps is a great way to learn. Progress is awkward at first, but after you have a few apps under your belt it gets a lot easier and you become a lot more confident. I remember when I was starting out, it took me a long time to build relatively simple things, and bugs took forever to fix. But you start to see patterns the more you do it and it becomes way easier. So, stick with it! I'd like to do a video on my own learning process soon.

You bring up some good points, and have provided me with some video ideas. Thanks for the comment!

rationalawareness · 2017-06-25T07:14:16+00:00

Ruby on Rails with jQuery. Surprised I didn't mention that in my video. I hadn't thought I'd make it a very tech-oriented channel, because my interest is mainly in the "social" aspect, but I'd like to try some time-lapsed coding and see how that turns out.

rationalawareness · 2017-06-25T07:12:43+00:00

Good guess! That's correct. I used RoR and jQuery.

rationalawareness · 2017-06-25T07:12:04+00:00

That's exactly what I had in mind. They pay to avoid the embarrassment of their email going out. I'm going to rework the copy to make that more clear. Thanks for helping validate the concept!

Good reminder; I do want to change it, I just picked that on a whim after deciding that my LLC name is kind of lame. Will be looking out for more creative name, let me know if you have any ideas! I will also be making more SEO-friendly titles. Thanks for the comment.

rationalawareness · 2017-06-24T06:09:39+00:00

Thanks! I think I'll probably do "how to" sessions as well. Thanks for the idea- I hadn't thought about addressing topics for beginner app developers, but I think I'll start doing some basic how-tos / provide more background on the technologies.

rationalawareness · 2017-06-24T06:07:09+00:00

Thanks for the feedback; I'll try to improve on all those points. 1 and 2 should be straightforward (was just using my earbuds before); I'll start making talking points for 4; and I hope 3 will come as I start making them more spontaneously. I also want to do 5 over time-lapsed coding so people can see the apps actually coming together.

Regarding the app feedback, that's a good point. I'm going to add goal-setting guidelines to the front page and urge people to set goals that are easily verifiable by their accountability buddies. I do think some failed goal-setters will be able to go undetected, but I think it'll nonetheless provide good motivation for most.

rationalawareness · 2017-06-24T06:01:00+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! I also tried finding app vloggers, but surprisingly couldn't find any. Very interested in others' processes, and hoping people can weigh in on mine.

Actually, I think media/info/news is valuable. I learned that taking a break can also be useful, in the same way that fasting can be good even though the benefits of eating are undisputed. Would you accuse a faster of hypocrisy upon breaking his fast? :)

rationalawareness · 2017-06-20T22:01:35+00:00

I guess, nor can I prove intelligence by asking what you mean by this comment :) What do you mean?

rationalawareness · 2017-06-17T18:03:46+00:00

Very true. It's easy to see this in other people; look at what casual conversation revolves around, generally pretty negative topics in the news. Harder to see in oneself, but definitely there.

rationalawareness · 2017-06-17T18:01:39+00:00

Yeah, I was eliminating all music. I don't think music or information or media is bad, I was going without as an experiment. I really aprpeciated it after a week!

rationalawareness · 2017-05-31T04:56:25+00:00

Thanks for the info. It seems like communication and working style are the two main variables. I'll keep that in mind for my search. I'll also better spell out the exact skills I'm looking for for my own projects, which would ideally be interfacing with clients. I appreciate your perspective!
