One industry example.. We have been giving students computing devices for years with the cost of educating students going up year after year.. Yet scores keep dropping.. No productivity gains here.. I do not think these results are unique to the education sector.. There are probably alot of businesses where nothing much will change except slight efficiencies.. not enough to move the needle..

An LLC does help with getting a proper EIN and DUNS number which helps greatly in establishing trust in a relationship with a new client.. Yes it absolutely helps with accepting payments.. having an EIN is necessary in many cases..

I use youtube music.. It has everything I listen to and more.. Want an obscure college band (Go ZURCHER) ? .. It is there! Want some rare DnB (source direct).. It is there? Want a curated ambient collection? It is there! UX is totally fine on Apple and Android..

No way on PayPal,venmo, or any company associated with Paypal... I got screwed over with an unauthorized transaction on my credit card that was attached to a PayPal account... They refused to acknowledge the transaction as unauthorized... My Credit Card that was charged (Amex) on the otherhand, reversed the transaction within 24hours

This may be weird.. but I have been listening to a bunch of extended "save room" ambient tracks based on music in Resident Evil.. Someone under the name of Survival Spheres has a crapload of these on YT-music.. They are all about 10-12 mins long.. and they stay of the way mentally..

This is so true... I am having issues with the change right now.. being older and trying to incorporate agentic workflow into MY workflow is difficult as I have trust issues with the new codebase.. I do have good people skills with my clients, but my secret sauce was my coding skilz.. and I built my identity around that..
