  • I’ve been thinking a lot about this since chatgpt dropped and I agree with Sam here despite the article trying to rage bait people. We simply shouldn’t protect the job market from the point of view of identity or status. We should keep an open mind of jobs and work culture could look like in the future.

    Unfortunately this issue is impossible to discuss without conflating it with general economics and wealth imbalance so we’ll never have an adult discussion here. We can actually have both - review/kill/create new jobs and work cultures and address wealth imbalance but not in some single silver bullet solution.







  • Malaysia. It’s so oppressive and incredibly dull. Every time I go there I’m looking to cut my trip short as it’s just so incredibly boring. I hadn’t visited the islands though which I’ve heard are actually a bit more free so I’d make an exception.

    Same goes for Singapore - so incredibly dull and boring. The only redeeming feature is the universal theme park and the waterworld show in particular. Get an express ticket on low season and it’s one of the best theme parks in Asia.

    Russia would be another one. It’s just fundamentally failed country and while nature can be incredible (shoutout to Kamchatka) it’s culturally dead and I’m never associating with it in any way.


  • DMT is not acid and the experience is vastly different. On acid it’s still mostly you in a modified environment but you’re still mostly in control if you frame correctly while DMT is basically a dream rollercoaster that you just need to sit through. Both are powerful experiences and should be approached differently.

    I’d say do acid instead of you want a gentle reset just make sure you set your environment. Get a sitter and just enjoy nature or the safety of your own home. I wouldn’t just drop into DMT for a reset for a messy headstate. Best of luck!

    Generally not a big fan of this type of writing especially when it’s so wrong.

    I’m an old software dev who grew up with curl but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone new. It’s extremely dated UX that takes a long time to figure all of the quirks out. You will fail thousand times over and is a http client CLI really worth days of your time learning?

    Libcurl itself is brilliant but there are much better front ends for it like hurl or alternatives like httpie - use those instead.


  • The best way to get into coding is to surround yourself in it by switching to linux and starting to program your own desktop interfaces (can be through browser too). Once you live in your own software the surface area for motivation is significantly higher so you actually learn stuff. Come up with ways to automate what you do and don’t be afraid to fail.
