This blog is dedicated to helping you build a better life.
Our lives are increasingly intertwined with technology, and no matter how you feel about it that trend will not change any time soon. And in addition to knowledge, you must know how to best act on that knowledge (a rare skill indeed). If you have both, your life will improve and you can significant amounts of money.
Have you ever wondered how to go from an entry-level app developer just getting by to a software engineer living large? Or maybe you are looking to understand a new technology/industry?
Our goal is to provide an actionable framework for you to reach beyond the average. Too many resources out there offer a handful of hello-world tutorials, and then leave you hanging without an idea of where to go next, or how to use this to get ahead. We make sure to teach you more than code, we show you how to get ahead in life.
On this blog we discuss Life, Technology, Software Engineering, and Personal Improvement.
You are better than average, you know you are, and yet you have struggled to get to that next place. You might have even struggled long enough that you began to doubt your own ability. But all you’re missing is some inside knowledge, and we will show it to you. If you’re willing to help yourself, we will share the secrets of how to do it.
Whether its an interest in a hobby or a new industry you are looking to conquer or a passing interest, we will get you moving. No one lives forever, and you deserve to live the best life possible. Lets get started today!
Welcome, and good luck on your journey!
