This goes along with my current theory about how people are getting 10x results using LLMs: they're putting in 10x the time.
I quit every vice: Stopped playing videogames in my 20s because they were a time sink, stopped drinking in my 50s, stopped drinking coffee because I no longer needed a 'wake me up' when I embraced sobriety.
But when I first started tinkering with AI, I found it so addictive, it reminded me of how I used to play videogames in my 20s obsessively. I think it's the randomness of the rewards that makes AI possibly addictive. It sometimes felt like a slot machine, the way that tweaking a setting or two would get me closer to the goal.
I strongly encourage you to see a therapist or psychiatrist (a real, human professional) to determine if you have an unhealthy dependency on a computer program.
Reorganizing your sleep around an activity you refuse to stop is one of the most obvious warning signs of a dangerous addiction.
Please don’t destroy your mental and physical health because you’ve convinced yourself that you achieved impossible and fantastic sounding gains in productivity.
I used to be a polyphasic sleeper so this article interested me but I find myself stuck on the final paragraph. > My velocity has increased 10x and I'm shipping features like a cracked ninja now, which is great because my B2B SaaS is still in stealth mode. Does someone have a good book I can read on stealth mode startups? My B2B SaaS is only small (about $1.25m ARR) but I can't imagine shipping features without someo…
I think that was satire. The entire startup writing world has adopted the idea that you need to ship to actual customers as fast as possible. Developing features in stealth for years is a well-known way to trap yourself into making the wrong thing. That said, I think the startup book, blog, Tweet, and LinkedIn think piece world went a little overboard with the "ship your MVP early" concept. For a while I was seeing l…
The best products solve a problem that's so hair-on-fire bad that people are willing to work around the most awful bugs because they need it so bad.
The worst products never move past that stage and just become rentiers. I think you probably know a couple buildings those companies have built.
You can get another $20/mo account and switch between them with /login. It won't give you continuous coding probably, but at least you can go for twice as long with a shorter wait afterwards.
I find that each account gives me 1-2 hours of coding in Claude Code usually.
aaaah!
just going for it!
call it optimising or just running lean, it is a resiliancy that cant be taken away.
one thing I like very much about sleeping, is waking up with my next move all figured out, even a cat nap will do
I have stopped checking the time, unless there is an appointment, wake up, get up, do something, dopey sleepy, back to bed, wake up, work, hungry ....awsome , some days are zero's, and some days click, nothing but net all day long
but nothing like a sleep reset when solo running hard and lean
