I have to admire someone who spends their first paycheck on a pi cluster:

> The total damage my wallet sustained from Kraken was S$626.63 or in $449.73 USD, which was virtually all I had left for the month after subtracting expenses and education loan repayments.




This is the part of the article that stood out to me most.

I definitely don't have the confidence to spend my entire paycheck on a just-for-fun project, especially considering how many projects I planned on starting but never did. Kudos on the author for being this confident and actually going through with everything.


All power to him.

Nobody got successful by playing it safe.


This is cash for joy!


I think one could easily calculate ROI in incoming recruiter messages after reaching first page of HN with personal blog, if nothing else.
