That realization - that you realize there's really nothing [worthwhile] for you to do - after getting over that initial break from your phone, is a magical threshold that I wish I'd crossed a lot sooner. The time and energy it fre

These are really great points. I would add that there might still be people interested in the human perspective of technical problem solving, though maybe not in the super technical cases. For example, youtube channels like "Stuff Made

Man...reading that post gave me a similar feeling to when I hear someone playing meditation bowls. I tell you, I've taken almost the entirely same approach over the last couple of years, slowly adding (i.e. removing) more and more thin

Over the last ~2 years I cultivated a small list of newsletters. First I'd just find several regarding a particular niche and sign up to them - auto-sorting into a particular email folder for each topic. Then I'd filter them by se

I really love this idea. I also miss the days when you could find a forum for something you were interested in and that forum became a real community. It was self-moderating, supportive, and - once people got to know each other's perso

I think the "randos and AI" is a significant part of the problem. Despite finding what you want (just speaking personally) I like the idea of supporting a creator and knowing that that creator is genuinely interested in the conten
