The autistic experience of rarely feeling sexually/romantically attracted to anyone because we're attracted to authenticity in a society where almost everyone is pretending to be someone else.

[Vignesh Pb @7_vignesh]

Its insane how far just completing things can take you.

Its a lot easier to get something small and broken out first and then keep making it better, not only is the work smaller but you also keep moving faster

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. You don’t need to set the world on fire with your first try. You just need to prove to yourself that you have what it takes to produce something.

There are no artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, or scientists who became great by half-finishing their work. Stop debating what you should make and just make something.

This paragraph by Haruki Murakami hits hard:

“Once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

I can't even fathom what 4800 roles would entail.

@__wardon__ @davepl1968 Brb gonna go tokenmax :p

[Vignesh Pb @7_vignesh]

I just watched @davepl1968 's vid on writing Notepad under 3K. There wasn't a single line of code shown in the video and yet I feel like I've learnt a lot.

It makes me want to care more and put some thought into my programs when I write them

Kind of worrying that this is a hot take. It seems easier to start off simple and then slowly add infra as needed as opposed to going out guns blazing right in the beginning.

You'd end up spending most of your time managing infra as opposed to your own app

[simran sachdeva @simranrambles]

hot take but most devs don't need kubernetes. you have like 12 users and a postgres database. you'll be fine with a single server and some sleep

I've only ever seen two articles / posts that changed my entire life.

https://t.co/BkMbsn9JEl

and

https://t.co/byAdkFpEy0

I don't think any other form of content in this entire world has such a profound impact on the way I see the world and the way I see my own life.

[Jay Alto @theJayAlto]

what's the greatest blog post on the internet?

i'm talking 'violently shift your entire perception of reality' blog post

[Vignesh Pb @7_vignesh]

what do you do while you wait for your claude code agents and sub agents to finish running? not enough time to start something new but also not so little time that i can be glued to the screen 🤔

[Vignesh Pb @7_vignesh]

I think its also kind of sad in a way that the value of content like this is reduced to its ability to get you a job at different job levels.

Its almost as if the idea of learning about tech for the sake of learning is an alien concept. Like I wanna know what a prefix sum is because its like a cool puzzle and not because it would help me solve leetcode #<insert_number> and get me a job at <insert_company>.

I've personally enjoyed your videos (amongst others) because I've been curious about how things work and its like watching a documentary or something so keep on making stuff like this :)

[Vignesh Pb @7_vignesh]

At any point of time if you think you are failing or you have failed just tell yourself that there is no way you exhausted all possible options and start looking for more(n/n)

[Vignesh Pb @7_vignesh]

Whenever you ask people why they failed at something they tend to point at external things that appear out of their control.

But if you really retrospect you almost always realise that you could have done more.

For eg. You can't find a job because the job market is bad (1/n)

[Somi Kenneth @somi_ken]

Unfortunately, I have to admit that I have not done my best. My current situation is a direct consequence of my incompetence. I suck at doing this life thing.

[Vignesh Pb @7_vignesh]

You could reach out to recruiters manually, you can reach out to decision makers (senior folks in the company who could vouch for you).

You could make public posts about the work you've been doing, you can send cold emails, proactively do some work and show them you're a great asset (3/n)
