This made me lol. I’ve been using an air purifier solely for the purpose of generating white noise. I don’t recall when I started doing this, but it’s been many, many years. The functionality of the air purifier wasn’t even a thought in my mind.

Building FocusedFeed (https://focusedfeed.app) an iOS app that lets you organize your YouTube subscriptions into categories and actually find the creators you care about. YouTube's home feed is basically useless if you're subscribed to 200+ channels. Half of it is Shorts, the other half is stuff the algorithm thinks you want. I just wanted a simple way to say "show me my tech channels" or "show me my cooking channels" without digging through noise.

So I built this, you sign in with Google, it pulls your subscriptions, and you group them however you want. Shorts get filtered out automatically. Working on AI newsletter digests too, so you get a weekly summary of what your favorite channels posted without having to open YouTube at all.

There's a web app(app.focusedfeed.app) but the iOS app is where I spend most of my time now.

This looks rough for e2b.dev, Beam, and others in this space. Even with e2b's fresh $20M raise, taking on Cloudflare is going to be tough.

I have been using 1Password for the last several years and am quite happy with them, except for the fact that they basically forced users to use their cloud offering with subscription as opposed to free iCloud storage after 1Password version 7.

Thanks to LLMs, I am now able to build iOS apps with Swift, which has been not only quite fun but also very useful since I was able to come up with a learning app that I wished existed for my kids with minimal effort. So I will definitely spend more time on that. Also, I'm trying to improve my time management and reduce distractions/procrastination. I enabled screen time for myself so I can create some friction between distracting habits such as social media, YouTube, etc. Also, I will be utilizing the Pomodoro technique more as well.

Isn’t Topo Chico Peter Attia’s fav beverage? Would be surprised if he didn’t looked into this.

IheartMedia | https://tinyurl.com/2bkr2nfp | Senior SRE | Remote US | 136-170K

The Senior Site Reliability Engineer will be responsible for leading a talented team of SREs/DevOps Engineers across a wide variety of Cloud Services. He/She will be our leader as we move toward a platform / systems architecture and infrastructure that is highly automated, fully instrumented, self-scaling, self-healing and loosely coupled. Must be a go-getter with efficient multi-tasking abilities along with efficient people management skills.

The infrastructure is entirely hosted on AWS, utilizing a variety of services. Core functionalities leverage AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and IoT Core for serverless computing, API management, and IoT device connectivity, respectively. The environment also incorporates multiple Kubernetes clusters, managed through both Amazon EKS and Kops. Infra is provisioned with CDK (typescript) so experience on it is highly desirable.

I don't recall exactly when but i tried this same app at least a year or two ago. I was super excited but results it gave was kinda underwhelming. But again this was a while back. Hopefully it improved quite a bit because i really like this idea.

Yeah this something i have been trying to improve. Taken Barbara Oakley's "Learning to learn" course and read the book(it is essentially the transcript of the book). It def help me better understand theory behind learning. On top of it i have been using Anki - spaced repetition tool - to solidify what i learned. Having a knowledge repo or a collection of notes that are written with your own words helps immensely as well.
