The top 5 things every remote worker should have (but most don't) ⬇

[Paul Millerd @p_millerd]

Lots of people say this especially men who work a lot.

But what sorts of hard are we talking about? My dad worked a lot and I think he got a lot of satisfaction. But I also wish he just worked less and was around.

I like to ask this question to people: do you wish your parents were more ambitious in their goals or more present and connected to you?

I am not convinced the best thing I can do for my three year old is to go battle the business world right now and be away from her more. But I can also see why this is a helpful story for some.

For me it’s clear that work is necessary for me to be connected to myself and be satisfied with life. But I think more parents should consider that a bigger challenge may be finding ways to be connected to their kids than capturing shareholder value

@PhilShteuck Eliminating using time as the primary metric

[Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa]

Disappointed by the lack of imagination people have on what their workday can be now that we have AI

[Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa]

@DaytonEllwanger Still disappointing

[Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa]

@joelhooks That cat is gorgeous!

[Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa]

@sariazout Talk to @tonystoodios. Worked with him while running ops for @TomFrankly’s channel and have since worked with him on my own projects. He’s the best.

Maybe you’re wondering why I post this stuff, is it just virtue signaling? Well it’s not not that… but the intention I have is showing we have all these massive time-savers but they only work if we fill our lives with new choices

I see many people not claiming back their time!

[Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa]

@anuatluru Agreed. I don’t understand why this is even a hot take though. This has happened over and over throughout time (including in our own lifetime).

Feels like the hot take should be anything other than this.

[Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa]

@nbaschez I’m working on something similar and agree on the solid feedback loop. Trialing layers of vetting too.

Hope you share more about this project!

Arriving in your inbox tomorrow:

@maiab @selentelechia Yep, I use the same from @RobertJBye

[Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa]

@maiab I wonder what models they are using. And their setup.

My work is primarily non-coding and I’ve rarely seen hallucinations since around Jan.

[Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa]

@p_millerd Need to look into this one compared to the usual Delaware s-corp

[Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa]

@austin_rief Podcast feels saturated. Agreed on written though

This was my favorite place to visit in Seattle 😢

[Patrick Collison @patrickc]

Sad to hear that Ada's Technical Books in Seattle is closing this week -- it's a wonderful bookstore. I always found something obscure but interesting when I visited.

@petergyang I like the UI of Claude but the functionality of Codex. So mine are split 🫠

[Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa]

@selentelechia There’s the constant “omg this [insert hard stage] is going to last forever” feeling with your first. Equivalent to watching a pot boil.

[Amir Salihefendić @amix3k]

The current AI panic feels strange to me.

AI, as it exists today, is a set of numbers in a file that can do interesting and useful things. It’s a tool. A very powerful one, but still a tool. We’re far from conscious machines or AI replacing all human work.

It’s also useful to look at the data. E.g., software roles are still increasing, and so are PM jobs.

@chrisippolito @antigravity Interesting! I thought Antigravity uses 3.5?

[Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa]

4.8 has been weird so far.

Seeing flashes of brilliance, but still has the same pushback personality from 4.7 and an annoying habit of adding extra tasks for me instead of just doing it.

Only tested high and extra, but for now still feeling 4.6 > 4.8
