There has never been a better and easier time to be a startup founder. Follow your passions, build a ton of side projects, with or without friends, and who knows, some stuff might stick and generate some revenue in the four years you’re at

Thank you! I did also submit this to IngramSparks, which is a platform for bookstores and libraries. From what I've read, the process would be to enable the book for distribution, and libraries would have a way in their systems to revi

One thing to consider is that pre-AI homegrown software is a house of cards, whereas post-AI vice coded software can be better than what most average engineer can craft. They’re also getting quite good at fixing 500 errors at the speed of a

I used to struggle with this too, until I started studying Stoicism. Here's a quote from Marcus Aurelius’ meditations 6.15 that I think about often: “Ambition means tying your well being to what other people say or do. Self-indulgence
