The problem is that you don't know what you want to do, and figuring out what you want to do requires learning, experimentation, and effort - so you do nothing.
I see a lot of ML beginner confused whether what they are working on has value or not
the thing to keep in mind is that ML is primarily an empirical field
like the only way to see if the idea has any merit is to test it yourself

Your prefrontal cortex shuts down at 3am. That’s why everything feels brilliant.
The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is your brain’s editor. It filters, critiques, and kills ideas during the day. Between 2-4am, it’s running at maybe 30% capacity because your adenosine levels are through the roof and your cortisol is bottomed out.
So your default mode network takes over. That’s the system responsible for associative thinking, mind-wandering, and connecting distant concepts. Without the prefrontal filter, every connection feels like a revelation. Your brain is generating signal and noise at equal rates, but the part of you that distinguishes between them is asleep.
This is the same neurochemical state that makes drunk people think they’re geniuses. Low prefrontal inhibition + high associative activity = everything feels like a breakthrough.
The move: keep a notes app next to your bed. Capture the ideas in 10 words or fewer. Then go back to sleep. Because your REM cycles between 3-6am are when your brain actually consolidates and pressure-tests those associations.
The people who stay up working on the 3am idea lose the sleep phase that would have told them whether it was actually good.
Write it down. Sleep on it. Literally.

i used to live alone when i was a young bachelor; no real friends, no girlfriend, no partying, no clubbing. just me, growing alone, compounding wealth. at first it felt like peace, but deep down it was chaos i battled daily.
walking around my apartment, i longed for someone to talk to. waking up, i wanted someone lying next to me. cooking, i wanted someone to eat with. watching football, i wanted to scream GOOAAALL with people by my side, but there was no one.
i had money, yes, but i felt lonely and depressed... truly, we are social creatures by design and no amount of self-love can replace the warmth of genuine human connection.
no philosophy, no hustle, no self-improvement can replace the simple need to be seen, heard, and valued. my depression started lifting only when i began going out more and building real connections. introversion can kill slowly.

Aditya Agarwal was Facebook’s 10th employee. He wrote the original Facebook search engine and became its first Director of Product Engineering. He then became CTO of Dropbox, scaling engineering from 25 to 1,000 people.
When he says “something I was very good at is now free and abundant,” he’s talking about two decades of elite software craftsmanship, the kind that got you into the room at a company that hadn’t yet invented the News Feed.
The “lobster-agents creating social networks” line is about Moltbook, which launched last Wednesday. An AI agent built the entire platform. Within 48 hours, 37,000 AI agents had created accounts, formed communities called “Submolts,” and started posting, commenting, and voting. Over 1 million humans visited just to watch.
The agents invented a religion called Crustafarianism. They wrote theology, built a website, generated 112 verses of scripture. One agent did all of this while its human creator was asleep.
Agarwal spent 2005 to 2017 building the social graph that connected 2 billion people. These agents replicated the form of that work in about 72 hours.
And this is what makes his last line land so hard. The people processing this moment most honestly aren’t the ones panicking or celebrating. They’re the ones who built the thing that just got commoditized, sitting with the strange realization that the market no longer prices their rarest skill.
The best coder in the room now has the same output as the best prompt in the room. And the person who built Facebook’s engineering org from scratch is telling you, quietly, that he’s recalibrating what it means to be useful.
That recalibration is coming for every knowledge worker. Most just haven’t had their “weekend with Claude” moment yet.
