hey everyone author here, I'm really glad to see all the different life structures people have adopted.

not all strategies work for all brains unfortunately.

but the essence is this:

- untangle yourself from the claws of others' expectations

- imagine vividly someone you would feel proud to merge with in the near future

- distill that image into your very own crooked and muddy golden path

- act now and take control of your life

- periodically look back at the image you hold and course correct where your heart guides you

honestly the worst is when it’s all lowercase AND there are lots of typos.

I think one of the issue is also the sheer amount of shilling going on like crypto level

I got a modest tech following and you wouldn’t believe the amount I’m offered to promote the most garbage AI company

The YouTube Premium is hilarious.

Why do you wish you had worked harder?

If we are nature and there is no separation then whatever we do is nature.

Including polluting and destroying part of the system.

I like this idea of setting a theme. It gives you a compass for if an action is in accordance to the theme or not.

I still like to drill into the concrete quantitative details of how I’m going to achieve the theme though.

This year theme for me would be: Freedom.

Currently studying the segment anything model family (1 and 2 & everything in-between).

I read the abstract a while ago and I was fascinated by the methodology.

I don’t get that stance of creative work needing to happen in person. Seems like a CEO having a bias for a specific type of work style.

Open source development has been running on remote work forever and it’s doing great.

The recent article about OpenAI and Google having their lunch eaten by a bunch of remote hobbyist show how this thinking is flawed.

Man, sorry for that it seems that you got into a toxic startup culture. My startup was a bit like this 10 months ago, the other founders were all about making sacrifices and working 999h per week. However, nothing was working out properly.

I've made some drastic change to our culture to be more empathic, transparent and based on trust. Since then its way more enjoyable for everyone and we are way more productive. Salary for our employee are still under market, but we increase them whenever we have the chance and the financing. We aim to get to 10% above market value so that everyone is confortable. Also we've cut the 80h per week bullshit. If someone is working that much he is most likely doing a crappy job and needs to prioritize his day properly.

Here is a series of concept/book I've implemented that drove the change:

- Objective and Key Result: the only work that matter is those explicitly tied to the objective. There is a good book on that.

- The book Drive, it helped us understand how to create a motivating environment for our employee.

- The book Traction, it gave us a set of tools to make the business run smoother.

- Effective DevOps: It gave us a blueprint on how to structure our technology developement and team interaction.

- Peopleware: This was one of the best book that we've implemented. We moved to a remote-first company based on trust, we don't track time anymore and we don't care when people work. All that matter is objective attainement and the wellbeing of our employee.

Let me known if you want to chat about this.

I doubt, the people from the "Nouvelle-France" have diverged a lot from their France counterpart integrating the culture of the native within their own. Most likely France would have lost control like England.
