Something that I've been working on this weekend. A way to understand how systems like @stripe and @Adyen work under the hood.

I'm creating something to share with folks who are interested in fintech. A few more days, and this should be good to go!

Happy CNY folks!

w0 recap at @_nightsweekends on @_buildspace 🧵

ps: sorry @FarzaTV for not getting a better screenshot xD

ok here is a few takeaways from week 0 at nights&weekends

[htoo @halchester_]

- ideas are forged, not found

Our goat @FarzaTV started out @_buildspace by teaching his nephew how to make Minecraft servers and he found a way to make things interesting for kids. Then he get into teaching kids online on Zoom, and that slowly evolves into buildspace.

@henriqueazer @callumfackrell I am kinda regretting that I got the wide monitor and even thinking about downgrading to just 27. So just some considerations and not to regret things like I do hahah.

@henriqueazer @callumfackrell And mine’s only 34 inch. Another thing is that my table’s only 180x60, which is not very helpful to keep an arm’s length between my eyes and the screen. You might need strong monitor arms to support the screen cus it’s heavy, otherwise the base takes up space on the table.

@henriqueazer @callumfackrell Just a small thing to keep in mind for ultra wide monitors is that, you kinda have to spin your neck around sometimes and if you do that for like long hours, you sometimes end up with neck pain at nights and need to stretch a lot.

@danielhtut_ @theandreboso I can relate to you. I started a med tech startup during covid and coup era to for doctors to prevent human interactions. Almost got into an accelerator and then only got shot down because of vaccine restrictions for covid travels😂

Mark Zuckerberg shares the best advice Peter Thiel ever gave him

"In a world that's changing so quickly, the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risk."

Whenever you're in a position where you have to make a big shift in the direction of the company or product, people will always point to the downside risks of that decision.

Mark explains:

"they may be right locally... but in aggregate, if you are stagnant and don't make those changes, I think you're guaranteed to fail."

@nielsmouthaan I remember when I was a kid, i used to beg my mom to take me to playground like these after every exams. Its sad to see my niece growing up with phones and iPads and not going outdoors to play, runaround and get tripped over nothing like the good old days.

Seeing things is a powerful way to think complex ideas

During my physics class, I struggled to grasp text-heavy problems. But a simple free body diagram on PAPER unlocked understanding and enhanced problem-solving

How can we develop interfaces to SEE things within reach of our
