i just saw this neighbor's uncle who's an engineer. he gets paid a lot.
would engineering actually be a decent option?
it could be a decent option. take some time to see what interests you.
yeah, i don't really know yet.
that's okay. you don't need to know yet.
i started learning photoshop in a computer lab because my madam told me i have that creative skill.
i also took python classes because there was a girl i really liked.
that sounds like a very you way to begin. keep exploring both.
photoshop feels more natural right now. python still scares me a little.
you don't have to decide everything from the beginning.
the girl i liked in python class just rejected me. i feel bad.
lmao, there will be a lot more like these, buckle up
the schools are shut down and for the whole covid year i have to stay at home and do online classes.
i have never even used gmeet yet
it's pretty easy actually. it's good that they are making you use gmeet, not zoom lol
you will figure out how to make the time at home useful.
i just can't stay at home. it's just too difficult not doing anything and having any ambition. i want to learn some new stuff but what should i do?
i can do wordpress development
i can try selling on shopify stores
i can try graphic design
i can do ad marketing
why not do it all?
i ended up doing it all. now i want to get into ui/ux design.
that feels like something i really wanna do.
then give it your full attention and see where it takes you.
i finally got my first client.
already?
yeah i just started selling website design and development services on fiverr.
it was pretty cheap, around $100 but yeah i got it and i shipped something in seven days.
they really loved it.
oh that's really good so what's the next plan?
okay now i want to get an internship and get my foot in the door.
i have just started learning crypto. it feels daunting.
the nfts just started blowing up. it feels like it is the biggest thing in the world.
the whole world is going on chain and i don't know man. i have a gut feeling that this nft thing can be huge.
yeah sure why not lmao.
why do you think it's funny?
nothing, nothing, just do your thing and just find an internship asap.
okay got an internship. it doesn't really pay anything. i just contacted the founder directly and he liked my communication skills and i just got it.
i guess it's alright if you are still learning.
have you been making any designs, doing any practice?
man they suck.
just wait for a while.
how is everything going? long time no see?
yeah it's been a busy year.
i joined a florida-based startup a while back, made good money, traveled almost half of india.
i'm pretty impressed.
but this ai thing is coming and everyone is saying that every job will be gone.
i tried making these designs but it really really sucked and i honestly don't think it's that much of a threat to me.
to be real it might be a threat to coders but for designers i don't think so naa.
sure.
okay it's been a decent time. i have been designing and a lot of people tell me that i design really well and i have good creative skills but i don't think that's enough.
why is that?
i'm not really sure design skills will be much relevant in the future.
almost anyone can generate a decent amount of graphics from an image and a model even though they are not at a proper professional level but to get the job done.
anyone can generate a decent ui with vibe coding just using claude code, chatgpt, and next year stack and just do it in one sitting.
it used to take me at least a couple of weeks for this stuff man. i don't know this change feels a bit weird.
have you made any designs recently?
yeah i did.
whoa, you've grown a lot.
what do you want now?
want to go more into growth roles. i have really good taste for what works, what doesn't work, which hooks work for which content, how to blow up video content, how to blow up a tweet but i don't know.
i really don't have much experience. it feels weird starting from zero in a completely new industry.
just do it man. why not? life's short.
claude code is just too good at this point. it literally feels like coding is obsolete.
also too many agent-building options. a lot of startups are just going dead day by day.
claude is just shipping new features every single day and killing hundreds of startups with these updates. i don't even know what to do anymore.
you wanted to go into growth.
i think now's the time. you can just try building your own stuff. it's pretty easy at this point.
i don't think you even have to learn coding fundamentals from scratch. just build something.
alright i'll try some things.
yo it has been a weird time but genuinely some fun time. i tried building a couple of startups.
in the process i did ship a lot. i built my own agentic products.
that's good man.
i accumulated 500k impressions on my twitter in the last two months. i got 30000 impressions on my instagram.
i know it might not be a lot for some people but for me it's a huge deal.
yes i even started video content on my instagram.
i think i will be going more into ugc, founder-led content, and some other distribution channels in the coming days.
by the way i forgot to tell you i even started a community and residency shiphouse where we help people juggle around their distribution problems.
alright let's update this chat in a few months and see where we reached
