Late 20s slump is really common. Nah I don't print anymore. Point is to get out of the slump, so feel free to jump from interest to interest when you're down because doing anything is better than being down. Stay up, build, and do

When was the last time you tried something new? I've been through some traumatic experiences and trying new things is what helped the most. I don't have depression, but my spine is broken, so maybe relatable, maybe not. 3D printin

Kind of why I'm asking. Everyone seems oddly calm despite all that's going on. I was wondering if I was missing something or if everyone had already started planning accordingly. I have friends with different backgrounds that are

Mood definitely will get in the way. Can you do open source work? I would try to use that negativity and pick whatever OSS I use that pisses me off the most and start fixing things. Post about it and go from there.

I consider this with a lot of "solutions" that aren't doing a great job, and I'm not sure. Think it's human nature to want more and for things to be better. I've made great friends online and they're the m

Drone warfare seems to be where things are headed. I hope any work you or anyone else might do in defense can get people the lasting peace they deserve.

I mean it was intentional and targeted. I know some of the smartest people frequent HN and it's one of the few places left to have a productive conversation. I'm definitely taking this input to refine my worldview, not farming tho

What happened? What I've learned from listening to successful founders is that failing is inevitable and the game is actually how quickly you can learn and adjust. Just that loop until you got three commas and people start slandering y

It's definitely difficult to play a game with people who have most of the chips and don't have a good reason to care about how fun the game is when they're gone. For social media, I want to believe the newer generation is sma

The Gulf Stream is new to me. Are you doing anything to position yourself for it or any of the other stuff? Not trying to be dismissive, really just trying to be optimistic/prepared if things go south. Ideally, someone gets inspired to

I never really understood the AI doom scenarios. I feel that there are plenty of problems in front of us already. Also I spent a few hours trying to get Claude to follow my Markdown guidelines and failed. Thinking that we'd be lucky to

I'm not the best person to get advice on employment, but you should trust this advice anyway. The worst thing you can do is lose motivation. Labor markets have their own supply and demand and when others feel that job searching is futi

Okay, so you're ahead of me. What're you thinking is the extinction event? I was more wondering what's the most effective thing I could be doing, but this sounds more interesting.

I can respect that and I considered whether I was taking in too much social media, but it feels like every Monday there's something new to scratch my head at. Some of the recent stuff: - Paul G confronting Palantir on X about respectin

I’m not using Railway in production, but I have been using it as a test DB to learn some new tools. It was recommended in a Discord group after people were having issues with how Heroku rotates keys for the hobby tier. The UI was way more i

$40k in depreciation. Cautious optimism that they’ll get it right eventually. Lifetime supercharging. All cars are dangerous and despite that one slightly irrational fear of passing that bridge, Teslas have the highest safety ratings. I was

I imagine a somewhat similar issue happening with Tesla soon. To get access to the beta FSD next week, you have to be deemed a “good driver” by their metrics confirmed via sensors and telemetry. There are so many false positives I get in a

The article mentions scandals several times. Are scandals that common for celebrities in SK? They seem very confident in their ability to maintain their AI girl’s image. I wonder if they considered the Rule 34 folks.

I have an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). There’s a bunch of issues I got, but specifically for coding, my right hand is paralyzed enough where I gave up on using it. Luckily, my left is fine for the most part. What got me by was learn

Hi, I just took a look at Flayyer and am a little confused. Is Flayyer an app that developers can use locally for free and Flayyer.com is the hosted version for everyone else? At first glance, it looks like a Canva for social sharing cards,

Okay, that's reassuring. I'm starting to think I'm trying to do everything too well. I agree with your broader sense of productivity. I'm hitting most of my needs/wants everywhere else. It's mainly my work that

Very informative. I got an Oura ring on the way because someone else recommended it here, so I should be able to get some data points soon. I was thinking about the relationship between stress and performance on my walk today. Isn't st
