I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing that. It feels that aside from the regular new LLM releases, there has been no serious innovation for the past four years.

I'm not even talking about holographic game consoles or FTL travel. Why can't we finally have a good container orchestrator that's not kubernetes for example?

I will be happy to put up with CRT screens if that's what it takes.

Better hack: learn to draw. End of the story.

I didn't provide a diagnosis, I pointed out that this was a symptom shared by multiple medical conditions. The difference may seem small but it is nonetheless crucial.

Also if I wasn't incredibly anti-social, I wouldn't be on this site in the first place.

It's a thing called logorrhea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logorrhea

Logorrhea is a symptom of ADHD, schizophrenia and traumatic brain injuries.

A thing I've discovered too late, but going to a dentist in a shitty neighborhood actually resulted in better care in my experience.

I was basically scammed thousands (and a teeth) by a dentist from Paris 17th (posh part of the city) who was only interested in maxing out my insurance and taking half my salary on top of it. On a tip from a colleague I went to a dentist located deep into a suburb you wouldn't want to walk around at night. Not only they did an amazing job fixing the previous guy's shitty work, but it didn't cost me anything.

Somehow I have a bit of reach on it. I don't really read the feed or even check messages anymore tho.

Cool website design but I will strongly remain in the "nothing ever happens" camp.

If you need good ideas, don't ask HN, you won't find any of that here.

Sit down with no distractions other most a pen and a piece of paper, for an hour and write down your ideas. Next day, check if your ideas suck, and if they do (they probably do), repeat step 1.

Also a quick note about entrepreneurship: stop thinking of opening "side business". If you want to succeed, the business has to become your main thing, any job you keep to put food on the table has to become the "side job".

I agree that clear cut life objectives are important. This generates a competing interest which is the best way to defeat any addiction.

But working on non-impactful personal projects is also not as bad as doomscrolling twitter. Personal projects are a good way to build skill and grow your own confidence. Twitter doesn't build anything of significance.

Try meditation.

If you're completely new to the idea I suggest the book With Each & Every Breath by Thanassiro Bikkhu. It's a Therevada Buddhist book but the breathing meditation instructions in it can be applied even if you want to ignore the other parts of the book.

Luddites were making a praiseworthy point.

I'm going to let you in on an open secret of the industry: a lot of SaaS companies were already zombies, only running around because of the large amount of debt they managed to obtain during the ZIRP era.

I am self-employed but I'm tempted to replicated buffer in-house for my social media management. I feel that they are adding a bunch of pointless features while the core of the product is less and less stable.
