Today is the best time for being a micro-entrepreneur. You can start out lean with low resources. You can ship anywhere. You can scale with few clicks and pay as you go. You can teach yourself almost anything with a laptop, an internet connection and few bucks.

Day 64 of #100DaysOfCode Highlight: The asteroid shooter is coming along nicely. I mean, the player character (it's a triangle π) just fires a constant stream of circles at this point, but it's getting there! πΎ #CodingJourney #CodeNewbie
