2. lol, why is this $230
A question to advance the discussion. What I am wondering is, if you can remember to go back to your time tracking system, why can you not remember to go back to your main goals?
More structure/checklist to force you to focus will have other side-effects like you found out. When you get rid of the structure, you still need to have a rough map in your mind of where you want to go.
To me, this is similar to being honest. You don't want to depend on a system or checklist for being honest. It is something you always need, as a policy. Focus is like that. If you want to focus seriously on something, just make it a policy, and don't use all these tricks as crutches.
- More "sub-reddits". We already have Ask/Show HN. We probably can add a couple more to keep everything organized.
- Option to auto-collapse comments threads deeper than X levels by default. When they are all open by default like today, only the top comment and its children get more of the eyeballs.
2025: Stopped writing so much Java, so used VSCode exclusively for Python, TS etc, with Claude Code or Cline.
2026: Time is split between Codex App (40%), Claude App (30%) and VSCode with Claude Code (30%).
Some other thoughts:
* Overall I feel like opening an IDE in the traditional sense is coming to an end.
* Tech-stack wise I am much more open to trying out new things than before since LLMs will help with the setup and debugging.
* For small teams like ours, code reviews are the bottleneck, and we constantly have to decide what code we review vs what we don't.
* Building seems easy these days, but (1) so much competition no in every field, (2) much more product polish is expected than before, and (3) most products compete with Claude if they realize this or not.
Our thesis is that a lot of Data Engineering practiced today is non-differentiated across companies and they'd rather spend that time on differentiated tasks. What if we can abstract away a lot of the tedious parts of DE work and let companies focus on just the data they want to store, and the questions they have on their data?
So today, we have an MVP that manages the compute, storage, lineage, versioning and pipeline building for datasets. Would LOVE to get feedback on this or your early thoughts!
I don't have a midi piano. Wondering if it is easy for you to support my inputs using microphone. I think there will be several noobs like me with the same problem.
Humbled by the depth of wisdom yet to be consumed.
On a journey not knowing where it leads.
I promise you a better world.
