That is a really cool project. I have a question which might be off topic but here goes. In a startup like yours how do you price? Do you price for the average case and leave it at that? Also do you start with a good margin of safety and ar

I was able to be a much happier person after I realised that it is just like any other skill. So for being happy you have to train your mind. I personally prefer stoicism and the book "Daily Stoic" will be a good start. A ready ma

Same!! On lesson 2 and already feel like I know so much! The top down approach to learning is great! Will actually read the book "Making Learning Whole" that inspired them to follow this approach.

"Perfect is the enemy of good" Could not agree more. Self taught programmer here too. For such a long time chasing "perfection" had me stuck where I was not finishing any projects. Taking a step back I decided that finis

Personally the change that has helped me the most has been mental. I used to feel "guilty" of going to bed early, not working to exhaustion. Now I view sleep as something to enjoy. Just letting go of that guilt has me sleep a lot

I wrote it over two days and didn't notice the missing animal. Color me embarrassed. Honestly I was not a fan of writing, typing being much faster. But a chance reading of the book "Thinking with type" and a big discussion wi

Thanks for the constructive criticism. Coming to think of it I did modify my writing style completely 7-8 years ago. Went from cursive to not so much. Some of it clearly lingered. So I will take a note of that. Like an another comment poin

Thanks for the awesome link! I totally agree with writing slow. My handwriting is much worse than it shows on the post. I had to write slow to actually make it legible.

Author here. I agree the tools do exist. Learning about typography ( the technical details ) is very much outside of my comfort zone. Plus I am learning a lot while deploying this as an app. Is there is any book/resource you could poin

Author here. And to think of it that I wrote it over two days. Two days. Made a couple of my friends read it. I am embarrassed and will fix it by tonight.

Thanks. The author here. It was not intended as a humblebrag like you said. I had just noticed that the only things I ever wrote where things that meant something special or something I really wanted to actuallise. You are one step ahead of

"The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there" I would suggest write your thoughts down. Don't aim to write down your ideas, write to generate ideas. Just whatever comes to your mind. Unfil
