Maybe you've done this yourself. I'm honestly jealous if solving customer support was as easy as your describe. In my case, I've spent the past 12 months running implementations at multiple companies. I've engaged direct

"Paying Fin $250k flat does nothing since it isn't going to actually know how to solve problems. The real challenge is the knowledge and context engineering and Fin doesn't help there" You misunderstand the model. Fin do

"The 3 common issues used to be solved by a manual with an FAQ page, or just you know, actually intuitive and usable software and hardware." Having led customer support, this grossly misunderstands how people interact. People don&

This is disappointing. I've worked closely with Intercom for the past few years. I've run Fin implementations at multiple companies. I've found their product team incredibly strong & the product to be customer friendly. S

I was looking for a discussion on this book. Was a fascinating look into how different college experiences can be, how insular the venture ecosystem seems, and the gross efforts powerful people make to keep that power. I’d love to know how

Unexpected favorite read of the year: Dungeon Crawler Carl. It’s popcorn fiction, but Personal Growth: “15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership”. The encouragement to “feel all your feelings” is insanely difficult for me, but has sent me on

This is a frustrating article. To pick one example: "The most damning aspect is not their exploitation of loopholes or their willingness to combine dangerous drug cocktails or even their reliance on unvetted Chinese suppliers..."

Fantastic landing page! Related thought - Is there a good way to search for projects like this? I know there are hundreds of these passion projects that never show up in google. Ex) This year I want to get better at playing piano. Reddit an

The video game example resonates. I realized recently that I load up walkthroughs by default. Before I’ve even turned the game on, I’m already following someone else’s ideas of best practice. I think it comes from a misplaced belief about s

CICO is the mechanical answer. The question OP is getting at is "why" they naturally eat less. The poster is saying "I eat until I'm full and don't gain weight". For other people, they eat until they're fu

I love this idea. My high school our english program had us write letters to ourself 10 years in the future. Such a joyous surprise when that teacher actually sent the letters 10 years later. I wonder though - How is this different than jou

Corporate ownership rings true. Especially land marked off for future development. You'll likely need to jump a fence, but no one is watching once you're inside. Private land I'm more concerned about simply due to firearm own

In USA National Parks & National Forest are open for exploration. I'm incredibly grateful for the park service maintaining them. Unfortunately, their locations are not evenly distributed. They are highly concentrated in the Western

Here in Texas the Community Impact newspaper has been growing with a monthly print edition. They serve local content with multiple editions per city. ~50% of the content is broader city related and ~50% specific to the suburb / neighbo

Unfortunately in my area of the USA south, there simply isn't much free land to explore. We have contained city parks and a few state parks. Less than 2% of all land in state. Everything else is either developed or privately owned. &qu

Seconded. I buy 2 varieties of Muji pens -- 0.38 and 0.5 Gel Ballpoint -- and stash them everywhere. A while back I heard the phrase "If you ask 'where is the good XYZ' it means you have a 'bad' XYZ". I was ins

All makes sense. I currently use the Hatch for bedtime light and noise. Don't feel any need to replace it. I'm picturing this as more a daytime thing. Kiddo is likely too young to appreciate the "choose yourself" aspect

Thanks for the link. Seems like a well built ecosystem. The pixel art pairing with the card/audio is a nice hardware touch. On one hand, feels like extra work to purchase and duplicate existing Spotify lists. On the other hand, I’m att

As others are pointing out, there's a general problem with financial literacy in the USA population, exacerbated by a culture that values flashy signs of wealth. But it's not the whole story. There's a macro problem that that

I bought a used car from a dealership a few months into COVID before the huge price spike. I had outside financing and the salesman couldn't believe my 2.7% rate. In his words "The average person coming in here is trading in a car

People find it easier to follow rules rather than principles. The 10 commandments tell you what to do/not to do. The Beatitudes offer values and require interpretation to put into practice. They also are more ambiguous in their punishm

Any specific suggestions for rope to buy? I love the idea of practicing at home in my living room.
