I think it all goes back to the fact that if we'd still have stars for rating videos on YouTube instead of algorithm-driven suggestions and no real way to decide whether people really liked the content or not, we wouldn't be here. That would not be necessary if I could still clearly see who's got good ratings and who doesn't

>do it in more situations than you think you need and always earlier than you think you need.

I can't even count how many this I should just apply that. It's an obvious thing but it takes time to getting used to clearly formulating your problems. Search engines are so sofisticated nowadays that you don't even necessarily need to know what you're looking for and it just pops up. I think of it as a sort of hive mind thing, internet became a natural extension of our brains.

While it's not a bit problem for me, I've got a friend who really needs help with breaking his own monologs, so I'm sending him that

I don't have any resources to share, but it's great to see that people actually care, your buddy has a great team!

It's one of the things I've learned after reading "4 Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferris. If you want to focus, you need to quit caring about what's happening in the world. It's a great conversation starter by the way. You can always just ask people what's going on and they can share any major events with you, now you're a great listener, because you genuinely don't know what's going on in the world. And should you care? No.

When I stopped watching TV/reading any news at all I noticed one thing: I'm less distracted.

Once you realize that media outlets make tremendous amounts of money by selling you their narrative and like any business they're just trying to be as profitable as possible, everything changes.

Nowadays I might read an article or two from people I subscribe to on substack or something more independent, but still I don't feel like it's something that I need at all.

Often I see the argument that smaller phones have smaller batteries. But still phones these days are very thin, I wouldn't mind if it'd a bit thicker but provided me with more battery life.

> what coding, testing, and shipping looks like with short-staffed teams, teams without dedicated devops experts, and teams where everyone who originally built the system has left.

This one hits really hard and I'd love to see more of that content.
