I did the breathing tutorial and did the first exercise but it didn't seem to really "react" to my breathing like I was expecting based on all the promotion. It might get progressively "smarter" but I was expecting more feedback from the UI (which is really pretty btw) when I was breathing in and out.

Academia is fundamentally broken. All the incentives are messed up and I have a hard time trusting anything that has been "researched" at all. Really disappointing.

Anyone checking out this should also look at GoodRx. Full disclosure, I work at GoodRx. I think we beat them on prices for the most part but it is always good to check theirs too. They beat our prices sometimes.

I am all for picking whatever the lowest price is. That is the whole goal.

Haha I remember this. What a grifter. He likes to pretend he isn't.

I don't think anyone is inclined to believe one way or the other. It is a gray area and with the way you described what you did, it certainly seems plausible.

You even say you were drunk and did stupid things. It is plausible that you wouldn't even remember doing it.

What is wrong with the word "tizzy"?

I disagree. Some people lie just for the fun of it.

This is fantastic.

Agreed. With a two person team and we can do things we couldn't otherwise. Having one shared code base for web, android, and iOS is better for two people IMO.

I found there were a bunch of good nuggets of practical knowledge that I didn't know and were very good to learn. In general, the lessons are practical and aren't "fluffy", even for topics I thought might be (like generating startup ideas).

The biggest takeaways for me were:

1) Find people with a problem and have constant communication with them (while solving said problem)

2) Launch early and often. MVP can and should suck.

3) There is no "one big release". This one was super valuable to me because I always thought you basically had one shot to get traction and you failed if you didn't. Realistically, if you do rule 2, you have ample opportunity to continue changing/growing/launching.

I really like your resume, did you build this with LaTeX by chance? I would like to format mine similarly.

This has been my personal experience as well. Stay at the company and get a 6-10% raise or jump ship and get a 50% raise.

Deleted my FB years ago and have never regretted it. It isn't even hard to stay connected to the people that you actually care about.
