## Helping Zach
A friend of mine, Zach Christy, reached out to me for help on his personal project. He explained he was having a [[blocker and]] couldnt figure out what to do next. I talked with him for an hour, asking questions, and better understanding the goal. We came up with this list of needs for a very crude [[MVP]] version of the application

And thus, with this we knew what we need. I was driving the discussion, asking follow up questions and gaining clarification on the details. Now that we have an idea of what needs to be present we can start on a VERY rudimentary version of the application. We created this quick [[mockup]] to represent that version.

I have been asked if id be willing to participate in the project and I am, but only as a contributor. I dont want to be tied to this thing where I would let people down if the opportunity presented itself.. I will now notify zach of this and set some guidelines for my contributions
## Helping guy on discord
A guy on [[discord]] wanted to get out of his [[windows]] [[ecosystem]]. I suggested [[Arch Linux]] if he wanted to be a true [[“Alpha Chad”]]. He was all on board but hes never done something like this before. I supported it but there wasnt much I could do to help him. You may ask, “why arch linux then?”. Well, for starters:
1) alpha chad status
2) its challenging and thats the fun in it
He was given other options by other members but he was all for arch for the challenge. I admire that because its absolutely something I would also do myself. 
He started clearing out his windows PC of all the junk he had. I was sitting there, wandering how I can help. Remembering that I had a pc thats just sitting around collecting dust, I said: “dude I have a pc ill do one as well”.. He was excited.. I found the [[ISO]], I found the drive formatter ([[belena etcher]]). Then I went to town, at the same pace as him. He went the [[ubuntu]] route, and I went the [[kde plasma]] route.
After hours of working on it, it was now around 3-4 AM, and we both entered our [[GUIs]] almost at the same time. I was first ofcourse as I had more experience but he wasnt far behind. 
It was a very nice and humbling experience
