I, too, experience that. I am anxious and I overthink and I am avoidant. Vyvanse helped a ton, but it was producing health complications, so I am taking something else that's not a…

Yes, Innovation can be very swingy and I love it. Drama is the most important aspect of board games for me. Excitement = fun

I super recommend Innovation. If you enjoy nuanced gameplay like in TCGs, this is for you. Everyone starts in the Stone Age and the goal is to race to 4-6 achievements, advancing t…

I used to play Pokémon cards competitively. It was fun going to local tournaments and flying with friends for Regional tournaments. I stopped to focus on night school, and I want t…

Thank you for making such a great tool. KCC got me back into reading manga and there are so many that are so great. For anyone looking for recommendations, I really enjoyed Pluto, …

You make a really salient point about having a clear vision and using clear language. Patrick Zgambo says that working with AI is spellcasting; you just need to know the magic word…

I'm in sales. This is going to sound shallow and tautological, but you find the people to interview for Product Market Fit by looking for the people you THINK are the ideal custome…

Your experience of being better at editing than writing makes me think of advice from Alan Moore (of Watchmen fame) on writing. He says to also read bad books, because if you read …

> First write with lots of formatting. > Then figure out how to remove it. > Then put it back, if you want. In the fifth grade, we were required to write an outline for our researc…

I am not a programmer. I love how vibecoding has opened the door for hyper-custom apps and scripts that benefit an exact audience of One. Last week, I built a dynamic map to track …

My latest apps are * Cardsphere (Magic card trading website) wishlist to inventory comparer * Scryfall (Magic card database) search result CSV Downloader * Cube Tagger, an app to e…

I get that. I am a non-programmer who vibe codes personal web apps for Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon TCG. I turn them into github pages for easy access for myself. I don't share…

I totally get that. I have a super corpo buddy who tells me every project is 80% planning and he uses that philosophy for his personal projects. That makes sense for a huge company…

I built a single page website that copies the current time to my clipboard and I paste it into my messages. It's inconvenient and I don't do it irregularly. I'll have to look into …

I really enjoyed your experiments. Thank you for sharing your experiences. They've improved my prompting and have tempered my expectations.

Thank you for sharing. This was a fascinating read.

I spun off geek-themed speed dating to geek themed singles mixers. They have party games, couch co-op and vs games, karaoke, and get-to-know-you games to encourage strangers to tal…

I tried creating my own loot box reward system where I earn points for completing tasks (literally spare change), and I can use the money to buy a die roll, with a d20 dictating wh…

I learned basic electronics repair from modding and building arcade controllers, aka Fightsticks. That eventually evolved into Game Boy repair, and iPod retrofitting, and electroni…

Crappy consultant? That's redundant ;) Seriously, though, within the context of software development, these are all issues I've encountered as well, and I don't know how to program…

As a singles mixer host and social interaction coach, I think everyone should do anything they need in order to ease social anxiety. Something is better than nothing. For some peop…

How much more marketing did you do for the 2nd and 3rd attempts vs the first? And what did you do/do differently?

I heard an anecdote that there's a Feng Shui ritual to exorcise the demon that harms sleep. They perform the ritual and then take the TV out of the room.

I'm new to hyperlinking on HN. My apologies.
