Curious about programming, our brains, startups, business, tech in general. Laravel, Python, Go, a little Elixir. Loving and hating the AI/LLM revolution.
That's a good perspective.

You remember bad things that happen to you way more than any good things that happen to you. That's because historically it was a question of survival. Bad thing could kill you. Nice thing is nice, not so important.
When something good happens to you, think of it for 10 seconds. Pause,enjoy for 10s

This has got to be criminalized. Damn effective. Ever since I discovered this, it's VERY hard to go off-track with listed habits. If you struggle to maintain your habits, this is for you.
While we're all sitting and wonder why our latest habit tracker app doesn't do it's job well, this guy has figured the BEST way to do habits. I mean it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmMz...

"AI is cancerous and parasitic"
Parasitic because it drains resources from humans and sucks on their creativity, without giving back, like parasites do. Cancerous because it grows under the radar without us noticing. Interesting thought by Freya Holmér.

Facebook is publicly saying it is going to be adding AI actors to the platforms. I think others will (silently?) follow the suit. Future of social media is going to be uncomfortable, where you look at each comment and try to figure out if that's a thoughtless bot or if every commnt is a soulless bot

One more thing I find incredibly useful is "Study with me" videos. I mean it keeps you in check for 20-30-60 minutes, you see someone working hard and you do the same. It becomes normal to focus instead of switching back and forth between random things. Or at least it pulls you back constantly.

Netflix asks writers to make actors announce what they do because audience is so distracted that they don't even watch the movie, but rather do something else. And that's _expected_. Poor humanity and poor our attention spans.

I'm starting to think about LLM-assisted coding like an another level of compiler. I have very vague idea what computer really does when I do something like `let x = {y: 3}` (like, the heap, refcounting, assembly, etc), with AI-coding I get a step higher...

One thing that I miss in social media today is ability to follow topics by people instead of just following people. Like I can write about programming, social media, language learning, but it all interests different people. I wish people could follow one of these.

We have a pretty complex HR interface and I asked V0 to come up with a better one. I spent a few hours, it came up with something that kind of uses the same words, but the ideas were way off. AI today can create a lot of typical stuff. New stuff even in typical areas... AI is almost useless.
