I tried the two sum and found it kind of strange to do line by line recall, I thought the only way we could memorize hundreds of leetcode is to think in chunks that are several lines, not one line at a time

I used to watch "China Insights" on YouTube and "ClearValue Tax" on YouTube for updates on the Fed and realized that I was only just clicking and watching all the negative headlines with individual stories that I could do absolutely nothing about so now I made a website https://toolong.link to convert those to articles and spend time watching comedy videos instead.
What could have been 11 months ago
the recent stackoverflow survey said that only 25% of developers are actually happy at work https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/work#job-satisfaction-j... . Gallup said its only 33% of employees are engaged in the economy in general. Not everyone gets to go to conferences and network for Godot game engine like the author, most are doing super repetitive jobs. I definitely want an AI to automate as many as possible ASAP
The extra thinking time I assume allows it to be the best model. I saw it think for 2 minutes on a single question.

i heard from an artist that Pinterest is full of AI-generated stuff now so artists looking for references have to go back to physical books for art references

What's happening to reading? 1 year ago
Freuqntly after reading books like "Ray Dalio Principles" and "The hard thing about Hard things" and "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck", they are so long that I forget the point of the book and just never put it into my own words so I forget everything unless its been repeated throughout the book 6 times. there's no knowledge check at the end of most books. So like the article says I just subscribe to blinkist now and save the effort.
