      Zdravo Marko, have you thought about adding the feature to prevent the mac from sleeping into your app?

      Marko i just have to say...THANK YOU. I am now learning Python and to have the ability to just push apps to a quarter of the screen or to the left or right is just perfect. My only suggestion is the padding i assume is what it is, but on my Pro 14" the app always has gaps between the apps so they don't exactly touch one another. if you have an app open in each quadrant there is a border around each app. i am not sure if that is something that can eventualy be filled? But other then that it is a great app.

    I am pretty much sure, that working on side hustles purely because of money reasons will burn you out, if you already do not have one single fully-stable income (let's say 9-5 job). I will agree with you that having multiple streams of income is better than one, and it can benefit you in the long run, just it is much, much harder then some other people on the social media are portraying it to be.
    Keep up the good work Marko, enjoyed the vlog like always!

      You burn out because the side hustle isn’t one that can generate income even when you aren’t there. & even if you end up hiring people to do the work, then you’ll be spending all your time managing them…at least until it’s making enough money to pay a high salary employee that can replace you. You’ve got to find one that has potential for “passive” income, which is why all the rich “side hustlers” are starting UA-cam channels lol!

      I think that's rather poor advice frankly, when you get laid off and have to job search for three months while your savings dwindle you will feel rather hopeless and depressed; wouldn't it be nice to have even an extra 1,500 ?. Putting energy into a side-hustle continuously learning with the goal of making money I see hardly any reason not to do that. The government wont take care of you, nor a company when they're in the red. Your best chance for having control over your life is having your own income stream. When you pull 10's for deadlines to get a feature pushed do they rush in with bonuses worth your time? no. If you put that amount of passion and time into something and make it yours, there is a good chance you will be lay the seeds at least for later to be profitable if you have a well thought out problem.

    Amazing video as always Marko. Love it! A side hustle can simply start by an open source project or contributing to a few you enjoy using, which is already a big step. And the open source project you own is yours, free to publish or sell later on if you wish. Then you could write a programming ebook about it, and finally tell your journey on social media or document it in a blog post.

What’s better for learning, writing in notebook or in Notion for example? Want to know your opinion ;) p.s. Sometimes there's a feeling that if you write in a notebook, you memorize better.

    After 7 years coding-working for others, I lack purpose in life. I have plenty of ideas and projects to develop but I have always postponed them because I wanted to get experience first. But I am done. I must fall in love with programming again before it's too late. 40 hours per week leaves no time for creativity, I need to decrease working hours first.

    Maybe its cause I'm a student still, but to me income stability sounds better than being reliant on a UA-cam audience for example. It takes a lot of time and it could work out or not. Working a 9-5 software engineering job may not be so impactful to the world but if it pays your bills and you can do live day by day enjoying all other aspects in life too then its a W to me. But maybe its just a step out of the comfortzone that everyone atleast should try once in their life.

      Of course the best things in life are free, meaning they can’t be bought with money. However, money is a way of communicating value. Do something that is valued by others and they will communicate that value to you via money. In this respect, money is a gauge of value, that gives us feedback on how others value us, our time, our efforts etc.

    Marko, how you said it , „ some guy got some promotion because he was extroverted and had connections…“ , it sounded very arrogant and belittling from you. Communication is a big skill itself , which is overarching , and if you don’t have it (may be that’s why you sit alone in a coffee shop) it does not mean that those people are getting some unfair advantage. It’s part of the work regardless where you work at. In addition, I would like to ask family and friends of all people preaching side hustles, how their relationship with such side hustlers is, I am pretty sure , it won’t be that healthy

    • @rexbear4607
      @rexbear4607 14 днів тому +5

      Most of the times "some guy that got promotion because he was extroverted === guy is a good con or ass licker" > everybody sees he doesn't add any real, true value (except from making those above him "happy").
      Relationships of the people with side hustles do not exist because it is impossible to make them because there is simply no time.
      24h - 8h or less to sleep - 8h plus minus of day job - couple of hours of commuting, breaks, eating, refreshing - side hustle.
      Weekend - you can get some time for the relationships.
      Is it worth it ? I don't know - if one day your side hustles replaces your day job, plus gets you more income on top then it will be worth it.
      I am having hard time having a healthy life with just a day job (tiredness, depression maximum levels), so imagine how am I with little bit of side hustling :-) I guess some people are just not born for that (same as some are not born to be good football players / basketball players etc)
