Same story here, just with modafinil. All the signs were there since as far back as I was 7 years old.

I've been able to control my focus so much better which seems to make me less tired. When I sit to get work done and inevitably get distracted, I can recover instead of go down a spiral of unproductiveness. I'm also better at prioritizing my focus on the things that are important, such as a must-have feature for launch, rather than a nice-to-have that I just enjoy working on more.

And surprisingly, I've been getting some of the best sleep of my life so far on a pill designed to keep you awake. Who knew?

This happened to a friend of mine. She had listed a mattress with bed for sale on FB marketplace. Someone reached out and bought it and said would arrange pick up. They sent a screenshot of them Zelleing her. After a few minutes they reached out and told her they changed their mind because they cant pick it up and if they can Zelle them back. She did thinking it just hadn't hit her account yet. $1800 down the drain.

I get how when compared to other treatments for diabetes it may not increase your risk but when we are comparing with other treatments for weight management or just no treatment at all, I find it hard to believe that it doesn't significantly increase the risk for pancan. I understand it's FDA approved but so have been all other drugs in its class that are allegedly linked to pancreatic cancer.

I absolutely love my macbook air. Had it for about 2 years now. Got the very low end model at the time and use it for software development and photoshop and it runs beautifully. My only regret is not shelling out a few more bucks for a larger ssd (i have the 128gb model). The battery life has been great even after 2 years.

As far as build quality, I'd say its unmatched. I've dropped it numerous times and have never put a case on it. Never even put it in a sleeve. I've left it on top of my car and driven off. It has a few scratches, but thats about it. Maybe I've gotten lucky.

You are a perfect fit for advertising agencies with digital departments. They usually need a jack of all trades. One who can build simple html/css sites, write Javascript, iOS app development and even backend development for larger campaigns.

The homepage is beautiful and all but where do i sign up?!?!

EDIT: Scratch that, found it... "Mobile web app"

VERY cool idea. Dig it.
