dishes and costs in asia and different venues would be solid here

highly recommend focusing on just tiktoks/reels rather than stories that expire every 24 hours. They will pick up more views beyond your audience, especially if you "warm up" your account by engaging with content just on your niche. Look forward to the next experiment!

Love this. A big miss teams have are with affiliate/refer a friend urls. Like if you think of your Uber referral code being 5 characters instead of a general 16 character hash. Shorter makes it easier for people to remember and share their code.

e.g. RJF01 vs ab0fhct99fh2h4fqi2fj9

Really good article! I like how it framed simplicity and complexity of apps, and how users want to stay in a certain zone.

I know the example was trite but future UIs will just allow the user to type or speak what they're trying to do. For example coloring in the circle/triangle will literally require you to say just that.

Whenever I see how people are cropping, masking, and adjusting an image, it already feels so outdated with what AI feels like it will be able to do based on text/voice input.

Some combination of users interactions with the endless output might create a decent enough opportunity. For example, Spotify discover combined with auto generated music (of a certain level) maybe is a possibility for this in that genre?

There's no UI, I think humans need a bit of affordance and are bad at keeping things in memory. So while it may be good in answers/understanding, the applications where it can be leveraged are more limited

Mexican food! I've spent the past 3 years learning to recreate good tortillas. I live abroad in Amsterdam and miss it so much after living in California for decades. I even worked in the best Mexican restaurant in Amsterdam for a month just to learn some of the subtle techniques.

I'm finally at a place where I can make tacos much better than what I would get here and even back in California. I'm currently working on burritos as the next project.

The most helpful things I've seen in quick summary are journaling around work: 1. What gives you energy 2. What feels like work/takes away energy

Use that list to double check against any opportunity you're deciding to pursue, aiming for things that primarily give you energy.

To figure out what you may want to pursue, another helpful exercise is listing 3 people you'd like to be like, and 3 companies/roles you'd like to do for work.

Lastly the Ikigai framework can be used as well to double check your decision.

With the combination of these, I think that's one of the fastest ways to discovery (for your current abilities), since it will help you find what you like and what is sustainable which usually leads to inevitable mastery

And that last statement is where all the magic is happening. Currently your statement is true, but in the future that's what changes.

My money that is stored in some bank's DB is not on my local computer, but I sure hope it's mine. In some countries they aren't so lucky and it's exactly as you say, the money doesn't belong to them.

I personally felt this experience recently with it's revival. I have a group that was quite active 10 years ago and we got back together for a few weeks once the platform revived. Unfortunately the room died out soon after. For me personally it was just easier to use Spotify due to built up playlists, mobile app, discovery weekly etc. I also felt a lot of pressure needing to be the DJ, rebuilding my playlist (some songs not available in certain countries) and always upvoting songs to not get kicked off stage. I hope they can continue to innovate in the space and carve out more sticky use cases.

The landscape/competition is vastly different today

Would love analytics, ultimately I'd want to better understand where customers are spending the most time (which case studies/parts of a case study) or a slide, I imagine that will come in the future and be in some premium version but well worth the cost!
