I’m asking this because I think about PG’s essay on “How to do Great Work” at least once a week and until this point, I haven’t connected to the YC community. I’m curious to learn of some new things y’all studying, making, or are obsessively curious about.

I’ll start: my main interests right now are online social networks.

I'm most interested in how I can be successful, enjoy my work, or not need to work anymore. I'm tired of sucking at my job (after being a high performer for the first half of my career) and being miserable.

But I guess in reality I'm interested in technology that I can apply to my own life,m including stuff thats not thought of as "tech". One example would be culturing mushrooms. It is technology, but not the electronics/computers kind. But also things like Flir Lepton projects, long range wifi antenna designs, etc.

That’s awesome - I had to Google Flir Lepton lol. Really interesting stuff. Definitely feel ya on the not needing to work anymore. Are you doing YC?
