This thread also makes me wonder if people rejecting the idea of hiring assistants still have help, e.g. spouse or family or friends that take care of things for them.

My steam deck is underpowered as a living room gaming PC.

Wish it was cheaper but would look forward to a “just works” experience including sleep/instant game resume.

Add my thousands of already owned Steam games and it makes me excited for a great couch gaming experience. It’s the reason I don’t get a PS5/Switch cause I don’t wanna rebuy all the games and they are not on sale as much.

Would be cool to see integration with something like Upright Go or other sensors you place on your back that detect tilt etc.

I'm coding up a webapp with this exact login process - the issue I've found is on mobile phones - apps like gmail won't let you copy the link into a browser without a preview. The preview consumes the link. (next.js auth)

It's a bit annoying, since I don't want to login into the gmail in-app browser, I want to login on my regular browser.

After failing to add my new credit card to my business Instagram account - it's locked me out. The "request review" form doesn't work on their page. Fun times. I'm literally trying to give them money.

Wow, super inspiring.

I've coming up on a crossroads where I'm considering leaving my high-paid low-pressure cushy remote job at some big tech company to chase some silly ideas I have. The timing feels right - but I can't help but be fearful of a jump without any sort of indication on whether I can actually pull that off.

Thanks for the transparency and sharing - you've got a new fan!

I was just thinking about trying to incorporate an LLC for a side project. I'm also a remote employee for a U.S. company working in another country. Seems like a bad time all around.

This gave me a good chuckle. Obviously titles mean different things at different places but my god my accomplishments as a "Senior Software Engineer" title pales in comparison to what Dustin has built here. Kudos to him and it inspires me to shoot for more.

I've been in contact with society and I'm still losing my mind.

Yes, I've been using this since I moved overseas. Works great, was able to add NextDNS for ad blocking.

I still find some websites will block you as your traffic will be originating from a datacenter (if going cloud option like me), but most work. I find this setup also works for some services that do not work via VPNs such as Mullvad.

If you want to talk to other devices check out the `BetweenClients_DROP` setting ("road warrior")

Nice tips and resources thanks!

I’ve always been quite mediocre at reading and writing. This has been confirmed by my grades over the years.

Just this week, I’ve been writing a script for a YouTube video and it is difficult for me. Organizing my thoughts and making it “seamless” is a lot of work. In my software job I usually default to bullet points for technical writing — which I feel is a cop out. I had decided before reading this article that I want to invest some time in these neglected skills.

Does anyone have any recommendations for improving these skills?

Looks nice I probably will pick it up - any thought about adding a "filler" word detection/removal such as "umms" and "ahhs"?

I picked up some discounts on recurring software/app subscriptions I use:

Fitbod Elite - Workout tracking/planning - 40% off - 47.99 annually - I was paying 12.99$ a month!!!

Plex Pass Lifetime - 25% off - 90$ once - Regular $120

I have used YNAB for budgeting for years. I wish I could find a discount on that. Still keeping an eye out for any other similarly useful deals on stuff I already pay for.
