Building Wealth
The cautionary tale of an overenthusiastic trader
Nov 23rd was a tough day. I was drinking coffee next to my laptop trying to process how I lost $10K in a week. And all of it was my fault.
Making money is awesome. Making money by clicking just a few buttons — even more so. That’s what stock trading kind of feels like. Deceptively simple. Deceptive, being the key.
The year was 2017 and I had just started working for a Fortune 500 company in Toronto. I lived at home so there weren’t any real expenses to worry about and that meant I could look for ways to…

Making REST API requests and handling responses
HTTP Requests are the bread and butter of any application. In this example, I will show you how you can make a GET/POST request using Golang.
We will use the jsonplaceholder.typicode.com API to make sample requests to.
Making a GET Request
package mainimport (
"io/ioutil"
"log"
"net/http"
)func main() {
resp, err := http.Get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1")
if err != nil {
log.Printf("Request Failed: %s", err)
return
} defer resp.Body.Close()
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body) if err != nil {

return
} // Log the request body
bodyString := string(body)
log.Print(bodyString)
}
Making a GET Request with Params

Email Marketing
Engage and nurture your users with personalized messages
Automated email sequences are an incredible marketing tool for any startup. An email inbox is one of the few 1:1 marketing channels at your disposal. Use it well.
The Candymail NPM package allows you to send marketing email sequences directly from your Node.js server from a single JSON file. Think of it as a docker.yaml but for email marketing.
Let’s say we are building a brand new video editor for the web and looking to delight our new users. We can set up an Onboarding email sequence that welcomes our users and slowly introduces them to the platform.

Landing page case study for a car salesman
At Three Times, we focus on building effective web development solutions to help our customers reach their target audience effectively.
This week we helped a car salesman bring his services to a website so he can deliver a personalized and online car buying experience to his clients — all handled without them having to go into the dealership.
