I know it isn't the original flow state but I get lost in conversations with Claude even when slow. I have a couple of terminals open and work on at max 3 things. A main task, an exploration task and another prompt/skill improveme

A non technical domain expert might usually lack thought clarity. They might know what is right once they see it but they seldom know how to reach there, even with AI. They will write themselves into slop in 3 days. The real moat I believe

I once worked for a unicorn (1B valuation) company where there were there were <35 engineers and all of them reported to the technical founder. No mangers, no product managers, no appraisal (30% hike or out) The rule was "I will tre

Surprised to see HN being bearish on this. I have 10 years of experience. I am a reasonable engineer. I can tell you that about half of the hype on twitter is real. It is a real blessing for small teams. We have 100k DAU for a consumer crud

Completely Agree. Both Romans and Mongols have lost/retreated many battles. They just had to regroup and raise another army over and over again. Some of their opponents could not even afford the war even after winning over them multipl

There is a 5000 years old epic called Ramayana which dedicates a significant part of it to a conversation between the protagonist Ram and his guru, agastya. The summary of that entire conversation is this: If you ever feel demotivated, defe

I built exactly this in 2016. I realised that Bluetooth requirement from both parties is too much friction. It worked way better with a QR code. That way there is proof of presence and the recieving person need not have the app installed.

This is pretty interesting. I wonder why in my 30 years of lived experience (in India), I never met or heard of anyone being autistic or needing meds for mental health, even amongst the software engineers. But this seems to be fairly preval

> I think it can be very difficult to be a 10x engineer because you have to be in an org that has the right type of work, be on a team that's involved in that work, and be in a role in which you're given that work. Agreed. I no

Honestly, it was just an observation. IMO, the street fighting skill is a bit less known. I worked for a unicorn which had ZERO managers and ZERO Product managers. The engineers had to speak to the users, write the roadmaps, build stuff and
