I have not, but I'm looking at doing it down the line! One thing that I would miss is the homecooked meals; I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed them.

I agree I don't know if I spent time on the best thing, but in general I think the things I classified as productive (writing, coding, fitness, etc...) are much better than the unproductive things (social media, youtube, hn, etc...).

I feel it's hard to achieve consistency with coworking; I never had enough overlap with a friend's schedule to make a meaningful impact on my productivity. I actually made a tool (before the experiment) to try to coordinate cowork

In terms of productivity per dollar probably, but in terms of absolute productivity I doubt it.

I'm not really trying to make money on it, but nevertheless I'm losing ~$55/mo running https://www.dailycodeforces.com . It's kind of ridiculous that's what it costs just to run a service that sends a dai

Can you elaborate on how it looks like I framed it to build more engagement?

Hmm did you read to the end of the post? Because I included a section showing the results on "a graph with 3 lines."

I certainly didn't intend this as rage bait, but I can see how some people would have expected comparisons for typical dalle prompts. I had never seen someone try to generate graphs with dalle so I thought it was worth sharing.

The actual timeline is reversed; I started with the sketch, submitted it to fiverr, realized I wanted to make a comparison to dalle, and only then I tried to come up with a prompt that could encapsulate the whole image. I can see how it fel

Man, nobody gives people the benefit of the doubt on the internet huh :( Sorry if my comment on PHP was in poor taste, but it was more of an easy rag than the crux of my argument. I do standby that most CS courses that are supposed to be &q
