Interesting Books - Property Brothers real estate and interior design book

 

Did you know the property brothers have a book? My favorite part is the page where they talk about real estate lingos and translate it to laymans. Like what does an agent mean when he/she say quaint.

Getting Start with Rust

Rust is a system language like C C++ and GO. It has included memory management. C++ requires DIY.


Task: Create a Rust project

$ cargo init


Definition: Cargo is the package manager for Rust


Task: run the main program in Rust. Source file has main function

$ cargo run


Main function is always the first function that will be executed when running rust. If one changes function to a different name will get error.


Task: Hello World with Rust. 


pub fn hello(){

println!("Hello World!");

}


Task: import hello module. Mod is the keyword for module. 


mod hello;

fn main(){

hello::hello();

}


Task: use :: syntax to call function in a module

module_name::function_name


Task : view startup scripts Scroll down to the bottom of package.json

"scripts":{

"start": "nodemon app.js",

"serve": "node",

}


Task: serialize, deserialize data between code and byte code. Encode and decode.

Solana Mobile 

Solana mobile stack in progress, becoming the chain that mobile developers think about (Packy McCormick

Why is the Solana leadership excited about Solana Mobile? All in one Solana platform - comparable to the emergence of super apps like WeChat. Rough transcription:  "WeChat moment for crypto. Super app for everything in crypto. Solana mobile. Crypto can track an address interact with u, know the entire history."

Speaker, currently interaction is mostly on desktop, need the wechat moment for crypto - super app),

Traction : active user revenue

Product Market Fit

What Problem are you trying to solve?
Figuring out Sources of Motivation

Communications, Culture and Hustling

Minimize email time and meeting time (that's why so many startups prefer Slack, the conversation is immediate and transient). Every email should add value, else, just delete it. Replace long meetings with a morning standup meeting to set goals, remove obstacles and make sure each person can start the day right. Do this as long as you can, till you are too big. 

Common Failures

When user education requirement is high. It takes a long time for users to understand your project and the use case of your product.

Users don't have the problems often.
