<p>It sounds like youre trying to love your job<p>are you trying to find a job that you love or trying to love something outside of work?<p>after youve answered that question, the next step is exploration. just try out different things and see if something sticks<p>the person who knows most about you is yourself and people close to you. and maybe ad targeting lmao</p>

<p>This reminds me of multiple websites. websites that sells specialized items in their niche.<p>their products, all different companies have stellar reviews left in their website via third party software.<p>but you can easily tell that those reviews have to be fake. even though they are verified.<p>you can easily tell fake reviews, its like theyre not even trying to write a fake review.<p>even more hilarious is they sometimes accidentally write a review for the wrong product for the wrong company<p>the thing that worries me is this makes me question if the product that i am buying is actually legit. like is this product actually safe as they say it is and is actually non-toxic to a human’s body</p>

<p>Edit:
is there a place that you can read a tldr, and what this actually "means" ?<p>Anyone here an expert? How safe are these planes and their derivatives if I fly frequently? IIRC, they made some updates to the new planes that uses the same engines. Also more training for the new models? Would those be enough?<p>Also how do you prevent using specific airplanes as a passenger. Some locations, airlines, and their nearby cities i think only uses these planes and their derivatives right? So how do you avoid that? Seems like driving for multiple days is a terrible idea. Would you prefer using multiple nonprimary airports and small engine planes?</p>

<p>Hey there I teach people to code some of them I teach web.<p>I think the easiest way to go about this, is to learn how to fly a plane. Then once you've learnt that you can kinda learn it piece by piece. IE: it's easier to teach someone how to drive a car first before teaching them how to mod it and write a self-driving program for it.<p>But, then again, some mechanical engineers learn how to build planes, before knowing how to fly a plane.<p>It really helps if you can reach out to someone in that industry and they can show you the ropes</p>

<p>Do you know if there a resources that tells you how to open a line to potential clients? IE: warm intro, cold call, etc.<p>It seems people prefer to report things anonymously especially when the bug bounty programs are worth so little.</p>

<p>Very frequently I notice bugs and vulnerabilities to different websites / products / saas.<p>Some of them are minor, and some are definitely very severe. From famous startups to really big companies.<p>What would / can you guys do ethically & legally?
I did find some horror stories in the past about people reporting vulnerabilities<p>Is there a way to ethically make a decent living from this? IE: consulting, employed, self-employed, etc?<p>It seems most of it is not crystal clear and certain as other career tracks. 
IE: if i wanted to switch careers to be a PM or sales, etc and i wanted to be an insta millionaire, there's a well documented path for that</p>

<p>I'm on the neutral side of the playing field. But, if they actually wanted to do this, they're missing a lot of critical steps in order for them to actually successfully do this. Granted, they even hit the price to purchase a team</p>

<p>i've been seeing this trend lately. it's not limited to the crypto niche. i've seen other ways they were trying to hijack people's identity to sell whatever thing they're trying to promote<p>edit: also there was an instance in the past where my account got disabled and it took me months to get my account get reactivated again. the first issue is that they have a huge backlog of other people they are assisting. so you need to find a way around that</p>

<p>I've taken a lot of courses on story writing / telling. I still suck at it<p>There are fundamentals in story writing / telling. Depends on the medium you are using. You prob know all of this.<p>So, one thing that I've noticed is that people who are actually good at this is that they do it as their main passion. So, practice and see how others are doing it. Also get feedback. Telling stories is not a passive activity<p>Reading about what makes a good story was somewhat interesting to me and i thought just reading and knowing about it would make me better. If you don't do the thing that makes you better and just read about it's prob a passive activity<p>Btw, people I know who really loves stories wether sharing or writing can consume over 150 fiction books a year. Doing 100 a year was already insurmountable for me, so I gave up on that.</p>

<p>How do you guys clean and prevent getting spammed?<p>I find it annoying to find constantly clean, block, and report spam from my email and sms? Not really fan of the alternative of creating new email and switching sms as when I do that I still get spammed.<p>Filtering is kinda awful tbh, occasionally i would miss a message that is relatively important.<p>The worst part is they've programatically made it so that the senders phone number / email changes everyday</p>

<p>It all depends on the product, designers, market, product owners, marketing team, and target audiences<p>Some products would have different funnel for the lifecycle of their product. Sometimes it might make sense to do one thing for a specific funnel and might not on a different context.<p>However, that assumes we are making decisions based on data.<p>Sometimes a team / company can will make decisions even if it is not optimal in terms of conversations because that's what they feel like doing.</p>
