Good advice for people in the IT industry:

"create safe money worth 3 years of living expenses and not to go for any loans, including buying a house."

And this is true too: "things would become worse before they become better".

that plaque definitely needed an upgrade 😁

Singapore's govt dating app runs on a Nobel Prize-winning game theory algorithm 👏

FirstDate uses Gale-Shapley, the 1962 stable marriage algorithm that won the 2012 Economics Nobel and still runs hospital residency matches and kidney exchanges today.

how it works:

1 | your preferences and dealbreakers build a ranked priority list
2 | proposers offer to their top pick. receivers hold their best offer and reject the rest. rejected proposers move down their list. rinse and repeat until locked
3 | the result is mathematically stable: no two people exist who would both prefer each other over their assigned matches. "the app never showed us each other" becomes impossible by design

the UX:
•⁠ ⁠⁠one match per cycle, zero infinite scroll
•⁠ ⁠⁠72-hour decision window
•⁠ ⁠⁠contact info revealed only on mutual yes
•⁠ ⁠⁠Singpass-verified, so everyone is exactly who they claim (told my husband I'm annoyed I can't test it. his response: most people sneak onto dating apps, and here you are openly filing a product research request 🤣 )

commercial apps need you to keep swiping but this app is designed to get you off the platform. Singapore built the first dating app whose success metric is deleting its own users 💀

(fun game theory note: Gale-Shapley yields proposer-optimal outcomes - meaning proposers get their best possible stable match, receivers their worst 👀)

public servants aged 21-35 only for now. interesting to see if state-sponsored game theory beats the free market (or rather, all the tinders and hinges out there) 🍿
