"Now I'm wondering if my idea is bad or if my distribution is awful." This is a false dichotomy, I think. Trying to grow is an essential part of how you evolve the idea and discover what the "growable idea" really i

Reminds me of the equation: Pain x Resistance = Suffering If you accept pain fully (Resistance = 0), then you won’t suffer. The more you resist, the more you suffer. And if Resistance is high, then even a little bit of Pain can cause a lot

For anyone who's interested, I put together a repos to bootstrap a react with typescript and tailwind project. It's intentionally fairly barebones, but I've found it useful to get a wide variety of projects started quickly:

Reading PG's essays and Hackers and Painters back in 2005 got me to believe that entrepreneurship could be something for me, too. It changed the course of my life, both personally and professionally.

Another way of framing "the price is too high" is "the value is too low -- here are the things XYZ that I would love for you to add to justify that price for me." It seems the second flavor of feedback is more useful to

There seems to be a lot of griping about the $100/year price here. The folks behind Muse have made what seems to be a solid product and want to charge for it to build a sustainable business. I don't understand what the issue is. O

Chris Rock had a great sketch about minimum wage: 'I used to work at McDonald's making minimum wage. You know what that means when someone pays you minimum wage? You know what your boss was trying to say? It's like, "Hey

This reminds me of something Alex Honnold said in the fantastic documentary Free Solo: “She [his girlfriend] sees things in a different way. For Sanni, the point of life is happiness. To be with people that make you feel fulfilled and have

The thesis is more that we don't actually know how to "do good" because the world is complex (nth order effects, unintended consequences, etc). So the intention to do good isn't enough. (Of course, that doesn't mean

If you’re looking for someone to talk to about how you’ve been feeling and how better to cope, I highly recommend texting crisistextline.org (I’m a volunteer counselor there.) The conversation is purely over text, with someone you listens n

The people you choose to work with is a first-order decision. The ideas, money, technology, or impact of your work are deriviatives of that: https://vishalkapur.com/people-first-decision-making/

I think DDG is decent and getting better. The tough thing though is that for search the bar is high. Alternatives need to be as good as google, not 80 or 90 or 98% as good. Most users, once they experience just a few instances of worse resu

Flow is key. At the same time, I agree on not having to (or trying to) memorize everything. I've been exploring building a tool which is sort of a "universal search bar" for programming questions: finding answers via google,

I would love to read a book or longer-form content written by this author. His writing is just really funny, while also being sort of philosophical and semi-informative. Love it.

100% agree with this take. I mentioned it in another comment, but I've actually been working on a project which is essentially a better search engine for programming questions that's integrated in your IDE. When possible, you try
