Great idea. I thought about similar things like create a traditional NLP chatbot and attach an whatever LLM to the answers.

does not look good after a few prompt hacks .... I guess it somehow violated the principles of current LLM technology?

good news is we still have reddit & hn.

a good community is hard to maintain.

You will find the same thing in your children if you have any lmao.

But seriously I got congratulations for you. Letting go useless thoughts is the first step towards finding the true self.

Just my 2 cents. Somehow got a chance to look into the competitive landscape. And found that which ever ICP to start with there's no immediate reason for adoption.

But who knows? Back in 90s no one knows they need an iPhone. Wish all the luck for your journey onwards.

From my own startup & corporate experience,

1. product managers will try to make things dead easy, by setting up simple excel formulas & charts. Taking screenshots etc

2. data engineers will do more technical but opensourced solutions like superset & dbt

3. corporates usually tends to build the end UI themselves. I remember sth that (maybe?) Pinterest opensourced.

I deeply understand how hard it is to build a notebook like this. And there are indeed some problems lying in the collaboration and UX.

It's just so hard to propose those features, given the problem is usually the data itself and a highly competitive market. Popsql does not thrive as I remembered.

Well I don't.

I've seen 2 people who cares about the stack more than the task itself. They lose their job way more often than average and is often criticized for not able to complete their task on time.

Some hiring managers tend you quiz you with framework details instead of your learning & reasoning ability. Avoid those teams.

Just think of it as a new additional tool in your toolbelt

This is the best way to introduce it. Vercel makes it too complicated in the docs where everything is splitted into app/pages, creating a large ecosystem gap.

Doesn't drinking so much water dilute stomach acid? Do you feel changes of digestion?

everyone squatty potty here lmao

And then, you may start to train your gut by just sitting on the toilet

This is actually what my dad has told me. I feel he's crazy because there's just no way to shit if you are empty. I guess I have to reconsider it...

Sugar is actually "bad" for our guts bacteria composition. Reduce it for half a year and see the effects.

Do you have sources? I actually watched some doctors saying when you are having a stomachache go get some sweetened (but not too sweentend lol) water. So I've always assumed that sugar is good for our guts.

I do have one lmao. So many people are recommending it in this thread.

You just killed me.

The exercising part and water part is exactly what I'm missing now. Will definitely try!

And 2L is crazy man. I guess I'm having like 0.7-0.8 per day.

pill form probiotics don't work for me at all

Yes same for me. I've had those powders and they do not work for me at all.

If you ask any proctologist, they will tell you that you should NEVER sit on the loo for more than 3 minutes.

Do those doctors actually listen to themselves lol?

Crouching Toilet Stools

I actually have one!! No much difference spotted tho.

Good luck!

Thank you for your kindness!

How do you feel about the difference with or without fermented food? Actually I have yogurt from time to time. And sometimes I eat too much and I will use it to help me digest ( but it seems it's making me full more than enough lol )

You are on the point.

It was my mistake that I didn't describe clearly. I've done a colonoscopy recently and it shows nothing bad organically. So I guess it was my lifestyle

Yes you can. Be sure to ask those who is currently hiring. They will tell you what you can do in college for a future specific role.

One thing I think it's always correct is that to think about what you can do for others, for your employers, for your colleagues, for your users.

People, especially men, tend to be so self-centric, that they cannot make decisions objectively.

For example if there's jobs opportunities you'd like to pursue, think about what they need and build your skills. Just give people a proper reason to hire you, to promote you, to use your product. This is actually harder than it sounds. You may find that your own expectations does not align with others.

I wish I knew this when I was fresh out of collage. Maybe you are just better in this than me. I was more of a dumb stubborn type of young man lmao.

I remember my past team configured a Slack Intercom integration. Don't know the details tho

This is interesting lmao.

And you can also writing C++ (complies wasm) in a browser.

But it's made a HUGE difference in quality of life for me and I wouldn't choose to work fully remote even if I could

I feel the same. A normal 9-5 workers will be yelling about remote but once they started a remote work they will know it's not heaven at all. Especially if you try to organize anything

For me this is muay thai (kickboxing), bicycling, hiking, camping, kayaking, board games, singing, and trivia.

This is what I'm missing right now. I started picking up my guitar again but there are no way to make new friends to play together.

And I also started programming since I was a child. I still remember writing my first game ( a horse gamble one lmao) and sharing it with friends. It will be a cherished memory always, not because of the code. But the time spent with my classmates.

The one who "gambling horses" with me now lives in the Bay area chasing his American dream. Last time I visit him he showed up with his expesensive car. I don't even recognize his car model (I'm not a car person). And a friend of mine waved at me when we hanged out. He seemed jealous. It's clear that money does not solve his loneliness.

they buy solutions. If you can't succinctly identify your customer's problem, then they won't believe you have the solution. Period.

Just started learning this the hard way.

I've been happiest in product development. Your software is part of a solution being sold to a client. A lot of engineering-oriented companies provide those kinds of opportunities and tend to have an engineering culture.

I fount that the so called "engineering culture" toxic to some extend. People arguing merely for their own resume looking more advanced instead of helping people.

And I'm also interested in your story. Feel free to share

These do bring a certain happiness, but it's temporary, usually brief, and looking back it tends to sound silly and pointless

This is something that bugs me. I still enjoy coding and making but I know that I'd eventually be leaving what I'm currently working on or selling them. It happened and it will happen again. what is "long term satisfaction" and how to find it?

Man I guess I'm on a similar journey.

I started vipassana meditation which is similar to a religional practice. "which is an idea that was hunting me since teen years." things like this unveils during the practice.

And I'm also kinda on a "retirement" to explore both the inner world and something I'm interested in.

Good luck on your life onwards.

I've wondered that if you wan WFH 3 days per week, picking a offline part time job that you can relate to is an option? This is what I've always wanted

Is your session near bedtime?

I've been doing 2 hourly sessions each day since I came back from a vipassana retreat. One in the morning and one before bed.

I used to do 20-30 min just like you (also advised by some local pratitioners who told me to not overdoing it). But as I experienment further I think it's probably not enough for us in the software industry, where we receive and process large amount of information each day. It will be even worse if some of your friends retire early LOL. Subconciously we're more burdened than those who mildly use their mind each day.

high tolerance for BS

This is really important. You will spend your whole life aligning stake holders. If you can't stand that and started searching for meaning of life then eventually you end up quitting.

shitty management, wheel reinvention, and peter-pan syndrome

I just can't agree more.

Met so many arrogant & immature people in this industry. Including the younger me myself.

I've been an EM, which might arguably be the most miserable position that exists.

It's true. I feel the same.

1. Huge cognitive load to deal with when you started taking responsibility for others code . Even worse if you still need to code.

2. No person skills growth. Managing engineers is not real world management to me. It's way too simple and just chores.

3. No business sense growth. You just implement. You don't face the customers/users. You eventually lose connection to the real world. "asymmetrical amount of value" comes from tackling real world problem instead of "arguing about the structure of software".

Maybe it's just me and OP.

This is what I do when I was an undergrad. I used alumni startup products and went their meetups so I got to know the founders in person.
