I learned... I do get burned out. Intermittent fasting works. React redux is clunky together at best. To stop complaining to others, on internet, and to my self, it kicks starts cycle of medicority. Phrase next Facebook won't look like Facebook really settled in when I saw rise of twitch despite there being YouTube. Very few actually want to do startups or at least sacrifice that a founder ought to make. There are no Junior jobs in tech. Skill gap is either imaginary or only applicable to senior Dev jobs. It further cemented that having a degree from ivy college is an extreme advantage to every state of startup... Except maybe finding product fit. Definitely a plus when trying to get funding, find cofounder, get University perks, even in b2b getting them on board. Realization I don't have enough life experience to know of problems that could be startup idea... And I don't know how to solve it. Telling someone you're going to do something is great way to never do it.

> React redux is clunky together at best. Haha, as a dabbler I tried React quickly realized it's meant for big teams who can take their own sweet time gluing components to routers,routers to services and so on. Angular on the other-hand provides everything under one single framework which is a huge advantage if you are the only one working. > It further cemented that having a degree from ivy college is an extreme advantage to every state of startup...

> Telling someone you're going to do something is great way to never do it. This is very interesting and unexpected. I'd always thought that telling someone would help with follow-through since you're now committed. On a side-project I was working on, it started out well, but as I kept discussing what was next, I found myself completing less and less. The trick here must then be just to discuss what you've completed and any discussions of next steps should be open rather than 'decided'.

  it's like getting that satisfaction and after you have had it by telling someone then relatively speaking actually doing it isn't going to make you look that much better. it's like when you tell someone you get 70% social boost. When you do it it's only 30% short term boost in social status, but who cares about 30%. You already got the most out of this whole deal BEFORE the hardwork. I've found even telling people when you 95% done affects hugely. Don't tell, dont brag, dont show off, in fact try to hide so people can't connect dots and find you on linkedin.
