I've found that taking a real look at what energizes me is key. Find something, anything, even if it's not for the long-term. Just something that makes you feel alive. Run with it. It starts momentum and that helps a lot.
not just software, but TBPN keeps a good updated flow of what's happening
it never hurts to try something! good experience i hope, in the end. pragmatic is a great example. feed me, too. i was trying to think beyond substack. goop was the biggest one I could think of that turned to physical DTC. but all very interesting. the reason i was curious is the rise of actual brands making newsletters is seemingly less popular than organic newsletters that grow into brands or businesses.
this is a good point. i think some people are able to maintain a sense of self by way of these tools allowing for greater expression. on the flip side, we have certainly been equating humanity with business and enterprise. the acceleration is a crucial change. but it's not about villainizing AI. and yes, one can certainly maintain humanity outside of work. but the issue i see is a loss of humanity in the sense of productivity and purpose. feeling like a machine can do everything. feeling that being human is a weakness rather than a strength.
