Head of Product Development at Gain Compliance.
I live by checklists and timers since i am so easily distracted. I set up a ton of small items to-do and the use a timer to stay on track.
I did this enough that I eventually made a tiny Mac OS desktop app to help me. It’s so basic, but my productivity is meaningfully higher.
I hate promoting my stuff, but this might be helpful for others too: https://pomododo-app.com/

Hey this is Brian from Gain Compliance, we've had success hiring out of a hacker news thread before, so let's give it a spin again.

You'll be joining 7 other engineers split into two full stack product focused teams.
We've been around over 10 years, are profitable, and value empowering our customers to breeze through their boring compliance tasks, building great teams that focus on outcomes over features, and work place stability.
We wrote a lot more over at https://join.gaincompliance.com if you are interested.

I don't believe that the author is saying that minimal is the same as undesigned. Rather if minimal is your goal, then your design choices will be different than if you try to design toward simple. In fact you may sacrifice great design choices that would lead toward simplicity in order to remain minimal. Minimal speaks nothing to: clear or obvious, both of which take a serious complete-product focus and choice to obtain.
Levi does a great job identifying the following distinction - Simplicity vs Minimalism. - Change vs Decisions
It would be a much better read without the attitudes declared through statements like "The horrifying existence of abominations like Hulu and the iTunes Music Store..."
I get the technical details, but the attitude is obnoxious at best and diluting the point at worst.
Interesting. I wonder if Android users see more ads per use-hour based on the Android eco system's revenue model than other mobile os's. ...I have no data to back up my proposition, just a thought.
