Problem is an average consumer uses reddit for memes and buying recommendations. The magic however is indeed as you pointed out discussing various topics: - Gear in baldurs gate - How to create a hardware clone of R2D2 - Books that you coul

Pretty much this. You can't search discord but its a byproduct of a self-serving goal of the platform. Perhaps we need more projects like Reddit but without the VC money.

Readwise Reader is pretty awesome for this. Also stores all the highlights.

This. In addition I would just add that most people search for some paradigm shift or innovation potential. I reckon its much easier to just find a market with personal interests and compete with existing players on a smaller feature for a

Great, but let him fail on that learn and build something else or try to defend. These kind of predictions are pointless IMO. Just look at how many products Google killed because there is no mass audience for it. Not even talking about Goog

I think this is the biggest misconception that VC world has created, the notion that you need to innovate, have an original idea or build something new on top of a new technology trend. If you look around you still have companies making mil

I think this is awesome. Side projects can be woodworking or selling fish after you caught it. Screw the current youtube side hustle conventions, do what feels right.

This is so interesting but not sure if this is healthy. For things that really bring you benefit in the end like gym it seems reasonable. With hating your profession and overriding it can IMO cause some serious mental issues but maybe I am

It also seems that most bigger startups that are calling the OpenAI API will now need to invest tonnes in security.

The assertion that the startup will achieve this scale is the main pitfall here imo, the chance is less than 0.01%. By the time you reach this problem, you'll have an army of developers to take care of this.

This, IMO everyone considers Rails as a solid & production ready framework that stood the test of time. Unfortunately they slept on front-end for too long but seeing a resurgence with a few startups. I think Mastodon is actually using i

This is my biggest gripe. I am learning programmning as a hobby, I don't have much time in a day but like to allocate at least 1-2 hours to practice. When deciding on the language to learn, I really really wanted to go with Ruby and th

I really tried to make it work, but going through the first season was unbearable dread... imagining that there are like 5 more to get to good stuff is IMO not worth it.

I use obsidian, but it can never trump the databases approach of notion in some cases. Its still pretty useless for TODOs IMO whilst being great at local first MD editor.

See, that's what a lot of people say about Ruby. But some weird people like me enjoy JavaScript despite its downsides and find Ruby terrible. Maybe its irrational but familiarity sometimes wins over level of idiomacy.

I think we'll remember 21st century as the age of overoptimisation and hustle culture, only to realise all the YouTubers were selling us a dream of forcing being and doing our best. We lost track of doing something because we are intri

I understand the rationale here given the company stage/scale. I recently had a similar discussion with the hiring manager on the same topic where the conclusion is pretty much the same - focusing on minimising false positives, rather

The fact that you have guiding principals already puts you in the top bracket of the firms. Kudos! I wouldn't disregard people with short stints, there is so much context out there. Obviously the higher salary hunters is a concern but

I disagree. I can't hold conversations about drinking in a pub discussing girls for very long. They seem insignificant. However I did make lifelong friends by accidentally talking about Europe's energy policy, satellites and also

Yep, its the only resource known to me that delves into these topics with a lot of ins & outs and its not just white & black business advice.

This is BS. Feynman taught. He taught because he wanted to understand better. The difference is that there are clowns who teach to maximise the youtube algo and there are real teachers who do it to actually make a difference or selfishly le

You could argue this is also a recipe for burnout. And thats why binary advice is pretty much useless. Everything is a balance, but you can't embrace the suck for 10 years, rarely anyone can. Sometimes we also avoid the reality that we

Same here, I fell into depression after burning out in my job and it took me exactly somewhere in between 3-6 months to get out. There was no specific point when I felt like: Ok, I am out of this mode, but the transition was visible. Don&#x
