>When I get distracted and want to go on HN, most of the time I read a math book instead. That way I either learn math, or realize how much easier my startup is and go back to doing that. Haha, this is an awesome hack. Thanks!

I know hindsight is 20/20 and it's easier said than done, but probably the best way to build social skills is to take up a group sport like football/basketball/frisbee/rock climbing etc. Or join a dance team/mu

Don't you harbour dreams of having a startup and working with your own agency? Or pursuing a hobby like music or adventure sports seriously? You seem capable enough to do that well, why are you living life like a robot? Leave your job

Some kind of generic IoT sensor that you could attach/integrate with almost any physical object, that could open up that object for digital communication. And the sensor would have no/very long lasting batteries.

Imagine alien algae start evolving on a barren rock in a remote planet. Some algae start out closer to water (better geographical location than others). These are the children of those lucky algae. That's basically it.

There's a limit to grinding it out alone. To grow as fast as possible, you need to learn from those who have already walked your path - you need mentors and good guidance. In both academics and business, social skills and gymming - to
