I agree. They could have picked a better example. Just db.getUsers() alone should set off alarm bells as soon as you see it.

I've been vibe coding small apps for fun
I just made a Cuckoo Clock productivity timer. A 3D borderless widget that appears at set intervals. Using Tauri and threejs. https://cuckootimer.com/
And a conversation starter card game on web.

Plus, I always wanted a cuckoo clock and this app gives a similar feel.I tried using traditional productivity timers like Pomodoro timers, but I was never consistent with starting them or restarting them after breaks.CuckooTimer is macOS menu bar app that gives you a gentle ping every hour (or whatever interval you...

Elevenlabs voice is amazing but it's so expensive. You can easily spend $20 on a single conversation.

bumped into someone holding a giant knife while opening the door to leave my apartment in soma.
Bike stolen in locked garage in locked bike cage with u lock. Usually take it in my apt, but stolen the one time I left it overnight.
Saw techies get shoved into fences on embarcadero
Wine bottle thrown across the store in Safeway. Saw things being stolen from Safeway half the time I went shopping.
Saw many physical altercations between security guards in Walgreens many times. Saw someone being tackled then spitting in the Gaurd’s face while trying to be held down.
People following me while my parents were visiting shouting profanities
Seeing car break ins in the middle of the day.
Many scary situations
Lived there 9 years. Can confirm it got much worse in the past few years.

Yes, you can write plugins in typescript to create very powerful integrations like VSCode.
I wrote a plugin for openai gpt3 https://github.com/briansunter/logseq-plugin-gpt3-openai

The attitude of dissing people trying to improve themselves is depressing.

> Productivity porn is anything that after having been consumed makes you feel like you were productive when in reality you didn’t actually do anything.
I disagree with the line of thinking that all research which isn't immediately useful is unproductive. It just needs to be limited. Set a time limit of 30 minutes per day for researching and improving your meta process.
Those articles on AI you read on hackernews might be planting the seeds for your next career change. It's impossible to know ahead of time.
I think the ideal breakdown is 20% research, 70% action and 10% reflection.
Re:Productivity porn

It's a healthy balance.
Watching Ali Abdaal and dissing all productivity techniques is like watching a Crossfitter and dissing all forms of physical exercise. Yes, some people take exercise too far, but most people do nothing and that's a much bigger problem.
I see him as trying to push the envelope and give you a wide range of ideas. I don't try to copy everything he does, but he puts out a lot of ideas and usually some idea will stick.
I do believe there's always a better way of doing something. I especially believe in the productivity techniques to increase self reflection and "leverage" like the "daily highlight" and "five minute journal". It doesn't matter how productive you are if you haven't sorted out your priorities.

Now I view taking notes as active learning. Highly recommend the book “how to take smart notes”

Logseq is the one.
I consider it the spiritual successor to emacs org-mode.
- outliner
- open source and free
- 100% offline (good for notes at bigcorp)
- flat files + git
- plugin marketplace (like vscode)
- Good Mobile App
Only current downside is some issues with cross device syncing, but that’s coming out soon.
You need a commercial license to use obsidian at work FYI.
