I find CBT to be one of the best technologies we have for understanding and managing our own feelings and thoughts. I enjoyed Feeling Great by David Burns as a practical guide to modern CBT techniques.

It took me a couple decades to come around on the things my parents forced me to participate in when I was a kid. So to that end I'd say chess. It would be terrible to grow up hating programming.

I wish there were a Netflix like model for books. I think Amazon has a service like that, but without very much content (last time I checked). If the selection was good I would be happy to pay monthly for what is effectively a library card

While I think this is a possible future, consider how many people today have trouble connecting their TV's to their home internet, or say don't know their own wifi password. I think it may be some time before network connectivity

Hey friend I'm so deeply sorry you're feeling this way. I'm sad to say that I can relate to what you've described. I think a lot of people can, both men and women. Loneliness was a problem before the pandemic, now jeez m

With some exceptions, essentially yes. You might want to think about this in the way that you design your app too. Exposing relevant APIs as needed. You could always avoid that whole ecosystem and write your own from scratch. Because of how

Interviewing / hiring is a real disaster. I'd chalk it up to that as much as anything else. It's a good idea to brush up on your interview prep. As much as anything though just do more interviews. It can be really hard in tho

The main issue you're describing I think is just how profitable it is to own the platform. In the same way that ads are an unstoppable firehouse of money, so are toll booth charges on your platform. One thing that's frustrating an

A friend of mine does this successfully in America. Cracked me up when he told me about it. We had joked about doing it years ago. I'll suggest the same advice I gave him. Rather than working 2 full time jobs, have you considered consu

I "just" write like you're describing and then do lots of edits. The edits are where all the work is. It's a bit like coding in that way. One page the length of a blog post might take about 3 minutes for the first draft

Something Deeply Hidden by Sean Carroll came out recently and fits what you're describing. While I enjoyed it a lot of it went over my head so I may not be the best guide here. He also has a podcast that's pretty good called Mind

One option you might consider is learning to code yourself. I understand you may not have the time or desire to but if you did it would be much cheaper (and possibly faster. It's hard to hire devs right now, especially good ones) As a
