I am one of those analog people, and have been long before it was (apparently?) cool. - I have not had a cell phone in 5+ years - I do not use LLMs at all outside of occasional experimentation to understand the current capabilities I am knowingly giving up - I subscribe to no streaming services, favoring my VHS/DVD/Blu-ray/laserdisc/vinyl/cassette/cdrom/cartridge collection - I have an extensive collection of paper, books, magazines, etc to browse and inspire me. - I have an extensive board game collection to play when friends are around. - I only use desktop computers at home, keeping me offline and present when not in front of one. - I have 40+ pre-internet game consoles hooked up in my garage to 25+ CRT TVs, along with a pinball machine, 3 arcade cabinets, and an OG VGA PC gaming station. - I have an EE/craft corner with soldering irons, 3D printers, hand tools, and everything I need to make a lot of my own stuff at home. - I have an extensive collection of mechanical puzzles to keep my mind constantly solving new deductive reasoning problems with no screen time - I rarely leave home with any electronics, favoring an analog watch, cash, paper maps, and recently, a film camera. - I exclusively rely on, mostly self hosted, open source software for all my work so I am the one in control of what it does and how I use it. I also FOSS license 100% of my work as well. - I co-run two tech companies from Silicon Valley - I regularly invent and deploy new security defense tactics and tools - I hang out with maybe 10 IRL friends every week on average - I travel often, including internationally. (I do take a tiny laptop with me when traveling) - I have a family Turns out, all of the above balances out just fine, and I am so much happier keeping as much of my life and mind grounded in the real world as possible.
