When people say contrarian, it means it became mainstream :) For every single post of product announcement there is a comment bitching about `value prop`. I agree sometimes marketing messages are terribly written. Look at the Obsidian threa

Thank you for building Minimal and helping on Obsidian. I love the theme and it made me return back and really give it a fair shot!

+ hindsight bias :) but you are totally right. Also it was harder to start a tech business and thats why many people didn't do it. Folks at Hot'or'Not had to literally borrow money to finance the servers which they had to go

>I have a line of home decor that sells well enough Seeing a pattern here, feels like an oversaturation of software and not enough physical assets to connect it to. Mostly people also get tired of shipping code all of the time. Thats why

Good luck accessing Notion offline. Not that it happens often, but its a bit apples and oranges. Use iCloud/gDrive/dropbox for synching instead. Never had any issues.

This is so poetic I feel like it can apply on a lot of things aside of games... everything is optimisation and min/maxing these days. And along the way we lost our soul doing it for the wrong reasons...

My biggest regret was not to take path less travelled and the risks that would probably put me on a tougher journey, but more satisfying process. I dabbed into programming when I was 25 and thought I was late. I also killed my business pre-

Generally whenever I feel this way (and it happened a lot) it was coming from a situation when I tried to press myself to choose. The more I pressed the worse it got, the more anxious I got and the more stuck I felt. There is a recent artic

Think this is a hack that not a lot of people have generally considered. Switching off all devices and just going out and spending time somewhere nice with oneself.

Thats a great framework! Still struggling with this and quite frankly when realising that I spread my attention thin, that only gives more anxiety after some time of unfinished things.

I have spent the last 12 years in the startup ecosystems in US, Europe and Asia. Europe progressed quite a lot and now can be considered a matured one, however compared to US and sophistication of investors, deal-making and deep-tech it is

I only own a MacBook Air and miss my PC days for a more hardcore experience but I find it super hard to find fun games to play (maybe its age...) these days. The last one I really had fun was: Desperados III - just a good nostalgia if you w

Despite the sad news this thread reads like all technologists of HN suddenly became military professionals and strategists whilst utilising the bubble sort strategy to call out for nuclear war, full scale conflict or just territorial gains.

It could have provided for 10% of the demand, cost billions of $ and years to build. Unfortunately the campaign against it and referendum were led by a publication which had conflict of interest in hydropower and used the `scare` tactics fo

Not sure what do you mean? In many countries nuclear is government subsidised and is the cheapest & cleanest source of energy available compared to say renewables. In fact countries build these because of the price of other alternatives
