I've been silently enjoying various food videos from Japan and Korea.
Just look at these bad boys!
There seems to be an entire world of people just shooting how various restos do local burgers, egg balls, and cool local twists on cuisine.
I Deleted My Second Brain
Why I Erased 10,000 Notes, 7 Years of Ideas, and Every Thought I Tried to Save
Every now and then, fatFIRE subreddit reminds me about what is important in life.
So you can think really big thoughts and the leverage of having those big thoughts has just suddenly expanded enormously. I had this tweet two years ago where I said "90% of my skills just went to zero dollars and 10% of my skills just went up 1000x". And this is exactly what I'm talking about - having a vision, being able to set milestones towards that vision, keeping track of a design to maintain or control the levels of complexity as you go forward. Those are hugely leveraged skills now compared to knowing where to put the amperands and the stars and the brackets in Rust. β Kent Beck, interview with Gergely Orosz
I like this take by @kentbeck.com on how AI-assisted programming changes the balance of which skills are most important

One of my favourite and recent finds is Dialectic podcast by
@jdahl.bsky.socialβ¬
It has:
β
Interesting guests that are not super mainstream
β
Multidisciplinary topics: life, business, tech, philosophy, writing, etc.
β
Digestible length
β
Thoughtful questions
10. Love is leverage
βItβs one of the most freeing feelings Iβve ever had.β
The freedom to stretch creatively comes from the safety of a deep connection. When someoneβs got you, you can risk more.
9. Design for Time Travel
βCreate milestones for your future self to go back in time to.β
Leave artifacts: journals, music, meals, and locations. Memory is spatial. You can purposefully engineer your future nostalgia.
8. Supply your own light
βHowever vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.β
A quote from Kubrick. You canβt control the world. But you can control your inner state.
7. Earth intelligence
βEarth is not a vehicle, but a bodyβ¦ developing senses and intelligence.β
We aren't just using technology, but woven into it. Our roads and networks connect us like a nervous system, making us part of something bigger that is becoming sentient.
6. Long-term thinking
βI try to have the longest possible time horizon I can, in both directions.β
Zoom out. Study whatβs lasted 1,000 years. Ask what might endure 30 more. Longevity is a compass. See the Lindy effect above again.
5. Digital durability
βIf you want your writing readable in 2060, it should be readable by a computer from the 1960s.β
Your thoughts should outlive your tools. Tech changes, but ideas shouldnβt vanish. If your notes need a server to exist, they are anti-Lindy.
4. Giving a damn and instinctive care
βIf youβre not in love with the thing youβre making, how is anyone going to love it?β
Indifference is obvious. Attention to detail builds trust without words, it signals seriousness and intention.
3. Principles as ideology
βI just want to have fun building stuff.β
Obsidian has millions of users, no ads, no investors, and a 7-person team. User-aligned incentives and a business model that protects privacy and sovereignty. The key here is sustainability through ownership.
2. Plant creative seeds, then wait.
βI still agree with myself. Therefore, I should post this.β
Let ideas mature and marinate. Publish once theyβve endured time and friction. Depth often comes from patience, not urgency.
1. Constraints spark creativity
βYou had to work within a certain number of pixels. Thatβs where all the creativity came from.β
Tiny UI constraints in Winamp skins forced aesthetic decisions. Creativity thrives under tight limits and forces taste. You can't hide behind options.
I specifically really enjoyed the episode with Steph Ango
@stephango.com⬠CEO of Obsidian, one of the most quietly influential thinkers and builders.
Here are some of my favourite ideas from the pod on creativity, product design, time & digital permanence.

Thoughtful questions
@samuelhorn.com bumped into your Notion / Astro blogpost. Are you still on markdown files due to the images complexity with notion?
Its also crazy how much engagement and follows I get here.
If I tweet with 2k followers I get 100 impressions. Its really sad.
Love regulation or hate regulation: it is clear from this case that Apple CANNOT self-regulate
The ONLY reason Apple cannot ban web links + claim 30% on all web payments (that have nothing to do with Apple infra!) is the US regulator
Think about this
HN can be annoying but also fun sometimes...
So true! Didn't realize this actually.
8h of Severance ODESZA mix. LFG
Really enjoyed it. Google invented OKRs to slow everyone else down...
On a serious note, I've seen company of 10 people spending 25% of their time on OKR drafting and evaluations π€·π»
Are you scared to publish / launch because youβre scared of what other people will say?
Or are you thinking βitβs not good enoughβ / βitβs not readyβ / βI can do so much better?β
In other words, other people arenβt in your way, πΊπ°πΆ are in your way.
Which you can change.
Depends how many transactions? When I started with an agency I just did manual invoices via xero at the end of the month.
If you have 1000 transactions already, probably worth a look to do something about it? :)
Also can, but apparently not as precise.
Is that powerbeats pro 2? The data will default to apple watch apparently... but you start the workout as is.
The most mind boggling thing about 2024 stock market is that 76% of $NVDA employees are now millionaires.
The greatest wealth creation of all time apparently.
