๐ I find it interesting that a lot of programmers try to write "optimal" code from the get-go.
๐ข This is inefficient.
๐ Here's how I do it
๐ป Freelancing in the embedded seems weird, but here's where it works:
๐ธYou need a small team to prototype a new project
๐ธYou need an expert to help with a topic
๐ธYou want to outsource a task
๐ค What other scenarios can you think about?
๐ช It's essential to get out of your comfort zone daily.
๐ฆท For example I wash my teeth with my off-hand.
๐ก Initially this was incredibly hard, I used my whole body to do this but now it's almost natural.
๐ค What small things do you do daily to get out of your comfort zone?
๐ก Marketing is hard for technical founders.
๐ Programming is hard for non-technical founders.
๐คท Get a co-founder that is good at what you suck at and call it a day.
๐ Sometimes we quit too early.
๐ค Sometimes we quit too late.
๐จโ๐ญ I don't necessarily mean a job.
๐คท It could be a personal project, a business, anything.
๐ฟ Choosing when to quit seems like a nightmare for any startup founder.
๐ฆฅ Success makes me lazy.
๐ Failures make me hyped.
๐
But I do enjoy my success and mourn my failures when they happen.

๐ข The life of a creator has its ups and downs.
๐ The life of a consumer is constant, but slowly declining.
๐ The good news?
๐ช You can always be a creator!
๐ I am a senior developer.
๐ธ I still have to read the documentation.
๐ธ I still ask for help.
๐ธ I still learn new things every day.
๐คท I don't know everything, but I do know how everything fits and what the end result should be.
๐ The quickest roadmap to start a business:
๐ฌ Find your audience.
๐ต๏ธ Observe.
๐ค Find pain points.
โ
Think of a solution.
๐จ๏ธ Validate the solution through feedback.
๐ Implement the solution.
๐ถ Charge money for it.

๐คฃ I observed that I like sales more than I like coding.
๐ช Every time I go in a call with a potential customer I feel hyped.
๐คท But the coding part gets boring after a couple of months.
๐
Are sunrises better than sunsets?
๐ Is Android better than iOS?
๐คท Is Google better than Microsoft?
๐
It doesn't really matter.
๐ช I think it's best that we invest our energy into enjoying what we have and our choices, rather than wondering what would have been if...
๐ค I never told you what the logo from Nokto Studios represents.
๐ I created this logo thinking about sunsets and sunrises:
๐ธ the end of an era and a way of working, and the dawn of a new one
๐ธ the dawn of remote freelancing in the embedded industry
๐ธ the dusk of relocating
โฉ If you want to go fast, go alone.
โถ๏ธ If you want to go far, go together.
๐ฏ I couldn't get this far without support.
๐ค One of my main supporters is actually my girlfriend.
๐ช Remember to celebrate the people around you!
