    In fact, as someone who got to know you with your "A Day in the Life of a Blockchain Developer" video, it makes me happy that everything you've experienced and accomplished so far, it's as if I've accomplished it myself. When you become one of the few successful start-up owners with Subbb in the future, it will be a pleasure to be someone who has been here since the beginning and witnessed all the moments. Lots of love to Maddie, Hermy and you Jacob! ❤

    I can definately reccomend wework in st.katherines docks and monument and 10 York street, they would be the busy places and big enough you never have trouble finding space to sit in hot desking area. People are friendly as well, but recently i see a lot of asian students taking over the wework spaces rather than free lancers or business owners

    Some things you will have to look out for:
    1. Roadmen
    2. You drive on left
    3. Cars are right-hand drive
    4. Weather
    5. Health service is underfunded, so for non-emergencies you'll be waiting a while to see a specialist.
    6. Wages aren't as good as other developed countries
    Just wanted to let ya know abt these stuff Jacob, I used to live in UK then I've moved but overall after you get used to it as you came from USA it will be just okay! Hope you be happy in UK and good luck on your journey!!

    Looks like you emerged out the front door of my old place (circa 2002) on Macauley Road SW4. If not - very much like it. Super throwback for me. 🎉. Fun fact - part of Bridget Jones’ diary was filmed slight farther down the street 🤷‍♂️

    The reason people in the UK wake up later is because we actually do 9-5 instead of 8-5. You'll notice theres a LOT more public/bank holidays here where people don't work, but somehow the city will be 3x as busy.
