Don't mean to sound condescending but I am fascinated by this fascination. If you move to SEA your cost of living might be as low as $500/m depending on the frugality and living standards. Its not for everyone obviously due to var

I wrote in the previous thread that this one stemmed from but here is the nutshell: - Its impossible to know what we want at a young age, literally only 1% probably does one thing their entire life cause they are obsessed with it. - The sec

This is a great comment. A good extrapolation of this on another example is: - We all want to start a startup, with a caveat that the vast majority of us don't want to sacrifice our time, energy, mental and physical health to get to th

Relatable. I don't have kids and lots of freedom in my life at least in the evenings outside of work. Somehow without the pressure, I tend to procrastinate on my decisions to take on the next chapter given several options available. Th

True, I think every few years or so we need to sit down and write down our "odyssey plan" based on Stanford Life Design course. Since the world is liquid and constantly in movement, our interests and values will change as well whi

Continuous discovery? Your customer is partially your roadmap, some are helping you distribute the product. Its a super smart way how to get real world information, then shuffle and decide what to do.

Generally speaking, I wouldn't search for bootstrapped but rather sustainable. Plenty of companies that raised a seed and become profitable. Just that the current situation of the company would be a reveal during the interview where yo

A few thoughts from my perspective: - Geographical autonomy: living in places for 2-3 months (usually when tourist visa expires). Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, Italy, Portugal and moving around every quarter. Stay longer if the country allows

This is a great point, we treat all the dopamine and novelty uptick when escaping our normal life, but we then return and spend 90% of our life in exactly the same rut. I think the trick is to design the 90% to work based on realities, not

Overall tonnes of reading and articles over internet. Some of them very shallow, some of them quite thoughtful. I am working on a prompt based email sequence to basically invoke some of the thoughts that are targeted at this. One external r

As a person who is on the other side of the table, I noticed that this is usually the case when you stayed in the field for quite long. For the context, I just started a coding journey - so everything seems new and fascinating, so many area

Thanks I was actually considering NZ as the next destination. I do think though that this is currently the case pretty much everywhere you go. In Singapore for instance the flats that were rented last year are currently 40% higher. Why Aust

I never used RSS until I tried Readwise's Reader (not affiliated with them, just a paying customer). It really relieved all the stress of constantly shuffling through the email inbox thinking I missed something. I read less, but feel m

I am quite puzzled, at such scale with low seasonality what are the reasons they haven't moved to their own infra? Managing and hiring people to do so would result in big decrease in cost compared to the cloud.

I feel like Thinkign fast and slow is one of those books on everyone's shelf that people like to show but nobody reads it due to its difficulty and readability. How did you like it?

You can do exactly the same with Obsidian, just don't create any folders and voila! Nits aside, I use both and sometimes folder structure came in quite handy (like having separate notes for course modules and having 15 topics). I would
