simple reason. I can refactor the codebase in a dozen different ways in a matter of seconds and choose the best one to work on. I can a summon a large volume of unit tests, descriptive logging statements etc. I can also just dump the logs and it will 9/10 times tell you right away what the issue is and how you can resolve it.

i.e basically you can do a lot of work in just a matter of hours. Once you taste the productivity increase by integrating AI into your workflow you will miss it if it is taken out.

not mention you can build all the handy little tools in a matter of seconds that will make your daily life way easier.

free version is an order of magnitude worse than the paid version. It is still good though.

>> I can now ignore anything you say about caste since it shows you don't know anything about it.

Basically, your mind is not capable of tolerating anything that goes against your worldview. The Telugu coworker will know about their fellow Telugu coworker's caste and can easily inform the Punjabi.

>> and do not bear any caste specific signifiers on my person

Your last name is the biggest caste specific signifier.

exactly.. its not very usable. They don't even have to innovate anything. just copy ChatGPT interface and display the results.

you should look at all the blockbuster stores and Netflix's share of it. There's no dent. ~ Someone in 1997.

Upton Sinclair: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

This quote highlights the challenges of accepting new information or ideas when they might jeopardize one's livelihood or status quo.

I don't think it is fair to compare an MBA/Suit/Executive CEO type with risk taking Entrepreneurial/Founder CEO types. They have a completely different mindset and motives.

A suit essentially plays a defensive game. He can't take risks. CEO is just a job. The goal is to not ... things up and basically collect a hefty paycheck every year. You become a suit by being highly risk averse and if you take risks and if it doesn't pan out you will be kicked out.

A founder CEO type is essentially a wild high energy high risk charismatic type. You can't compare someone like SAMA or Zuck or Steve Jobs or Elon who won't take no for an answer and go all in to make their dreams come true.

Why is this so surprising. I am pretty sure this would pass human recruiters and even past devs pretty easily.

If I had to skim through many resumes I would have selected this one for one simple reason.

Worked at 1. Instagram. 2. Zillow. 3. LinkedIn. 4. Microsoft. Graduated from Berkeley with 3.94 GPA.

Each of this is an accomplishment.

Very clickbaity title. I thought the guy just added buzzwords like blockchain, big data, hadoop etc and then suddenly got more offers.

Will the people of Maine get any pay off from this when the Govt. makes their money?

It's kind of unpredictable. David Goggins suffered terrible violence and it made him tougher to handle smaller harms.

On the other hand there are people who never recover and are never the same again.

>> After the free trial period (7 days), they will charge for an annual subscription ($102.95 US). This is OPT OUT, not opt in.

This is the norm right. I don't know ANY app that is OPT IN after the initial trial period is done. This is the Industry Standard.

>> I tell this interviewer that I do not hear the sound and I do not get a notification that someone raised their hand

Why are you not getting a notification or hear a sound? Laptop issues??

Wonder how much of this is due to Joe Rogan. he apparently took a bunch of things and his covid is negative.

to have a broken version of reality one must likely have a broken childhood, be abused etc.

It's tough to separate someone who is a narcissist from a confident person unless the person judging them is an knowledgeable in the same field.

maybe it is the inverse. When you are successful in work and personal life you become confident. And they fuels more success/confidence. Basically you become more confident as and when you find more success.

are there any startup opportunities / products built for farmers that can generate revenue?

Okay.. this is the ted talk. I basically implemented his talk and molded it per my situation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2paoNvG5Nmo

In this guy's case he was able to run a successful startup and his brother was able to get into and graduate from Harvard despite being terrible procrastinators. (because of the strategy.) He was not using a monetary based strategy. Basically he placed a hit on himself via his brother and viceversa to become successful.

Another thing he did was to write a letter to his ex and told his brother to mail it if he did not finish a certain task.

Again.. these are terrible examples. I would not advocate violence or stunts like this. In my own case, I used money but for others it could be anything. Any consequence they would like to avoid.

Once you create or sign a deal its a done deal. You can't renege on that. You sign an agreement with the other person and they will hold the money hostage till either the deal is completed or not.

This guy used escrow.

>> Tomorrow’s me is perfectly capable of reversing any decision whatsoever I make today.

True. That's why the stakes should not be too high nor too low.. its pretty experimental..

I hired a contractor and I paid him when I failed. You should be hell bent on not paying a dime. Otherwise you are doing it wrong. If it goes for charity then your mind will sniff out an escape route. Instead give it to causes you don't believe in. The goal is to be afraid of failing. You should be kicking yourself and feel the pinch when your hard earned money is going out of pocket. Otherwise you are doing it wrong.

Here's the deal. Even when you fail you still will win in the end and that the beauty of this approach.

I lost 30 lbs over the course of 4 to 6 months. I lost around $200 - $300 and it definitely stung. But it was worth it for now I have a strong and fit body.

I don't mean a total split personality.

From the movie "Memento": This explains it better.

Here's the truth: People, even regular people, are never just any one person with one set of attributes. It's not that simple. We're all at the mercy of the limbic system, clouds of electricity drifting through the brain. Every man is broken into twenty-four-hour fractions, and then again within those twenty-four hours. It's a daily pantomime, one man yielding control to the next: a backstage crowded with old hacks clamoring for their turn in the spotlight. Every week, every day. The angry man hands the baton over to the sulking man, and in turn to the sex addict, the introvert, the conversationalist. Every man is a mob, a chain gang of idiots. This is the tragedy of life. Because for a few minutes of every day, every man becomes a genius. Moments of clarity, insight, whatever you want to call them. The clouds part, the planets get in a neat little line, and everything becomes obvious. I should quit smoking, maybe, or here's how I could make a fast million, or such and such is the key to eternal happiness. That's the miserable truth. For a few moments, the secrets of the universe are opened to us. Life is a cheap parlor trick. But then the genius, the savant, has to hand over the controls to the next guy down the pike, most likely the guy who just wants to eat potato chips, and insight and brilliance and salvation are all entrusted to a moron or a hedonist or a narcoleptic. The only way out of this mess, of course, is to take steps to ensure that you control the idiots that you become. To take your chain gang, hand in hand, and lead them.

This strategy doesn't eliminate procrastination. You still pay the price but it evens out the peaks and valleys of productivity/unproductivity.

For ex: You need to spend 3 hours and write a 5 page report that is due on Monday at 9:00 AM.

You spend the whole week not working but feeling guilty about not making progress. Then suddenly in the last minute i.e a few hours before the deadline i.e around 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM you start panicking and make progress. You turn in less than stellar report.

With a contract based strategy you still procrastinate. But the end result is much better. i.e You need to finish 2 pages by the middle of the week or you pay $25 per missed page. Another 2 pages in the second half of the week. This way you still procrastinate and occasionally you pay the penalty but still you would be done with the essay/ report 2 days in advance rather than the last minute where the consequences are way higher in terms of getting a bad grade/losing scholarship/not graduating/ not getting into a better career etc.

This was my exact initial fear in theory but it doesn't work out that way in practice. Children are forced to learn a musical instrument and it takes away their sense of agency. They will hate both the instrument and the parent. This makes sense.

Here. In this case the situation is different. Both the parent and the child is the same person. In my case I was pretty excited because finally I found something that worked and resolved my issues. Once the feeling of accomplishment sets in you will feel pretty happy. Once your mind knows that there is no way out it starts adapting and starts assisting you. That's why the contract should be irreversible.

Haven't watched the video.

For me the only thing that works. The only hack that works is having a contract with a third party.

You don't procrastinate on paying your mortgage right. You do it every month.

You don't not show up for work right. Or for meetings right.

You don't procrastinate on paying your cellphone bill/internet bill/paying rent etc.

Why? Because you have contracts with another party and there are consequences if you miss them.

Losing weight? No consequences! That novel you've been meaning to write.. no consequences! Want to learn a new language/do a passion project etc.. there are no consequences to not doing it.

For me I resolved this issue by going into a contract with a third party with consequences if I miss my obligations.

Inspired by a "lock-in" productivity based ted talk which was banned so I can't link it here.

no.. I didn't find it clear..

I got excited thinking it was an official Github project.
