Ideally you want to start with companies who are desperate enough to use you because the problem is so painful for them. Try to think if there is a subset of companies that expierice the problem your startup solves in a more dire way than o

Recently I read Game Programming Patterns by Bob Nystrom. Written in a really conversational tone but still includes pseudo code outlining each pattern. Really enjoyed it. Master's of Doom is a little over-reccomended in this category

This book sounds absolutely fascinating. Lately I've taken to modelling some of people's seemingly unusual behavior as a sort of religion or mythology and it fits remarkably well. Looking forward to reading it. Thanks for mentioni

Don't focus too much on a few rejections. The hiring process is badly broken at most companies. You application may have never been seen by a human. Nothing wrong with brushing up on your skills but it's very likely you could swit

Hacker News is actually pretty small in terms of how many people post. Other communities like it can be found in some small subreddits, discord servers, slack channels, irc, and some of the few online forums that didn't move to Reddit

For general adblocking on Android you can also use Firefox with unlock origin which is supported in the mobile version. Firefox on Android seems like it works a little worse than chrome but is completely worth it to me to avoid ads. As an a

This may be controversial but you could try smoking a small amount of cannabis and listening to some music. I wouldn't reccomend this route if you have a history of drug or alcohol problems. Another path you can try is consuming less m

It's a similar dynamic to why tweets can be better than long form blog posts. The time limit forces content creators to actually get the content out. On YouTube (which I still love) it's endless intros, ads, disgressions, and side

Of course! Never hurts to ask. I wouldn't assume they'll say yes but you never know, I bet it's pretty rare for people to ask that so it may even stand out as a positive.

I ran across the program "China Tonight" on ABC in Australia. It still felt a bit vapid in the way that tv news normally does but was much better than any American news programs I've watched in over a decade. The clip I watch

When I was 13 or so I started a computer repair company for people in my town and local businesses. I didn't keep very good track of how much I made but I would guess it was around $2k a month. Couldn't beat the money and freedom
