You should, it’s fun. I have a devcontainer running the Cosmopolitan toolchain and stuck the cosmocc README.md in a file referenced from my AGENTS.md. Claude does a decent job. You…

This is something that you can bootstrap into a proof-of-concept in a day and learn the tools you like and don't like along the way. Basically you'll use any LLM and a vector DB of…

I have a bunch of Sonos speakers and hooked them all up to a Mac running Airfoil ( https://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/ ). It isn't perfect and audio occasionally de-syncs or a spe…

Wild. I also grew up in Perth and until just now thought WA didn't have trapdoor spiders. Thanks for the anecdote that taught me something.

I moved out of Australia and let my bank know that I would likely be using credit cards overseas for a while. Sure enough, as I was trying to buy furniture for my new place, the sa…

I started building a Magic based data science tool for 6 months before coming to the same inevitable conclusion. It sits in a Github private repo rotting away.

That will depend on things you won't know until you start. How much do you start with, what's your burn rate, how long until you get revenue, are you bootstrapping/funding, your pe…

> If I was thinking about driving through the Amazon I would ask others what the experience was like to better understand the risks, not just hop in the car and hope for the best. …

The risk profiles of building a company and taking a trip in your car are definitely different. Building and running a company is more akin to driving your car through the Amazon r…

Agreed, which is why you create a plan to build money and wait until you have enough money to execute on that plan. The question OP raised isn't preparing for money running out, it…

You haven't even started and you're already planning for failure? You should have more faith in yourself.

> My 2c: you can get things right, but most of the time you won't I'd argue you'll never get it right. You might get it right at the time, but 'right' will always change over a lon…

I reached a similar conclusion, luckily before doing too much building. I'm happy with terrariums so far, they scratch my 'living things in closed systems' itch.

Also a metahobbyist. I've tried everything you have (except weather stations and mechanical pencils) but also make/play guitars, hobbyist electronics, paper making, painting/illust…

I have been unofficially diagnosed with ADD (specifically without the H). My psych and I decided not to diagnose because I have coping skills and habits that prevent it from interf…

This is exactly the boat I'm in. I have a 1hr train commute to work that I spend skilling up in AI. I've been following the space for about 15 years and have done a bunch of self l…

Sibling comments are mentioning undiagnosed ADD (or ADHD), I'd like to float the possibility of undiagnosed depression. The "I can't get disciplined and I'm desperate. It's hurting…

No tip, just story. I moved into an engineering management role from IC for a year at a previous company. I also found the experience unfulfilling and wanted to move back to my old…

C# at least supports the notion of partial classes that can have their definition spread over multiple files: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-... Ruby h…

Your resume reads as if it was written to appeal to an engineer. Write one that appeals to a manager. Talk less about what you did in your previous roles and more about "the busine…

Sorry.

Except you can buy it, review and then request an almost unconditional refund.

I too have treated MDD with psychedelics along side CBT therapy (not in official conjunction) and found that my suicidal ideation and anhedonia subsided for about a year after my f…
