You're completely disregarding the root of where lack of politeness or giving regards to others come from. Children's behaviors do not arise from random sources outside of parental control. Children are not naturally impolite or d

I made no comment about what non abusive families are like. This article is suggesting a causal relationship between family conflict and screen time. I'm suggesting that family conflict can cause screen time. One can argue that `they d

It's not stupid. Your parents are treating you with contempt. People try to jump hoops to act like that's acceptable but no one, no child, no adult, enjoys being treated with contempt. Now imagine getting that from your caregivers

As someone who used a lot of screens and was lonely in my youth, I can say with confidence that it was a response the family conflict in my home, not the creator of it. If my parents provided me a stable, non-abusive home, if they priorit

Excellent post, and thank you for sharing.

I think if you're in the position of being a founder, this article isn't for you. And our conversation isn't really talking about the same thing, which explains the lack of common ground here.

Politics involves understanding the hierarchy though. And understanding when you are overruled. If the hierarchy is saying "it's time for GenAI", you have the option to participate in a way that raises your profile and positi

I dunno, honestly, my organization works a lot like what the post is describing. I think my org has healthy politics but at the same time I can't really tell if the times I thought the politics were "toxic" were simply becaus

I mean sometimes you are outruled. That's part of recognizing politics, in my opinion. If your VCs want you to do GenAI and you think it's dumb, you are overruled. But you can still benefit from this in a lot of ways. You just nee

I think the article is arguing that if you build the relationship, you can involve yourself into these conversations early enough to direct them the way that your idea would go. In your cases, for example: 1. Recognizing early enough that t

> So JSX is pure Javascript and not, say, a dialect of XML embedded in JS? This is actually the selling point to me. As someone who started learning pure HTML, JSX just makes a lot of sense to me intuitively. It feels like intelligent HT

Wow, I enjoyed your comment deeply and it reminded me of 15+ years ago on the internet, where your experience really matched mine. I still am friends to this day with the people I met 15+ years ago. I haven't made an internet friend in

yeah, nextjs middleware is garbage imo, if docs never give a clear example of what something is for, that's a pretty good sign that this was just tacked on without considering any particular use case. i've come to realize that nex

I love small space office builds! I also have a tiny den. I would love to see more inspiration of how people use that kind of space, especially if it's (sadly) windowless, which I think makes it pretty hard

Narrow down clearly what exactly I want to do with this side project. Too many of my early projects sort of became a jumble of different aspirations, most of them unrelated to the core product idea behind the side project. I want to learn E

Yes, absolutely. The reason why my startup uses Zapier isn't because we prefer to use no-code to orchestrate this specific workflow. It's because it's faster than building out all the webhooks, routers, integrations, tables,

This is a great comment. My "Aha" moment with org-mode was when I started using it to track my TODOs on ongoing branch. I was able to link bookmarks to actual code from my org mode agenda, jump back and forth between my todo list

Orgmode isn't really just a MD equivalent. It's the integration into Emacs and the entire platform that makes it so incredible and powerful. I would love an alternative because as TS developer I don't use Emacs anymore (non V

Maybe try not drinking for a week and seeing what happens? It's hard to say. I think a lot of people hover in this inbetween of frequent casual drinking that for some people becomes pathological and others it's truly optional. IMO

I honestly prefer a pen and paper planner and just manually migrating my contacts over. Meanwhile, my personal gmail is 99.9% contacts I have no intention to ever speaking to again.
