@levelsio @raviojhax you forgot the most important thing: sleep

[Ognyan Genev @ogenev0]

@raviojhax This sounds definitely like burnout but don’t expect to fix it in two weeks. Usually it takes 6+ months. Good luck!

@DCinvestor The biggest benefit comes from stretching. Stretch 6-10 min per muscle group per week, and you will be fine.

How I fight high apoB/LDL in one picture, if you know you know😁

@paulg How do you know what people want?

[Ognyan Genev @ogenev0]

@thorstenball I can tell you what he/she will do with it - watching youtube or TikTok.

@jack What device/app is this?

[Ognyan Genev @ogenev0]

@banteg @mert Don’t forget about Whole Exome Sequencing to confirm or deny genetic high cholesterol.

@DCinvestor what is this shit, try Europa Universalis 5 :)

[Ognyan Genev @ogenev0]

@badlogicgames So the real feedback loop is just `grep -E 'shit|fuck'` 😄

@thdxr high or xhigh?

It's so fun to read @badlogicgames agentic prompts, maybe I'm too kind with my agents :)

@badlogicgames Do you use high or xhigh?

@doodlestein man, please prioritize quality over quantity…

@steipete @JustinGorya why not Pi?

@badlogicgames Good read, when I see people working on 5 projects concurrently and push hundreds of commits per day it is pretty obvious that they are not doing quality work and I don’t want to use what they are building.

Yes, it is skill issue, I know, but it is also skill to SLOW DOWN :)

A bespoke software revolution? I don't buy it.

It'll exist. It already exists. Small consultants and big consulting firms have made custom software for years. It almost always sucks. It’s bloated, confusing, and because the client pays, it’s built wrong in all the ways.

Who’s excited about bespoke software? Software makers! Of course they're excited about building bespoke software — that's what they do. X is full of them. Your feed is full of people who love making software talking about making software. Of course they’re excited about the revolution. Echo, echo, echo...

Most people don’t like computers. Nobody in tech wants to say that out loud. People tolerate computers. They use them because they have to. Given the choice, most would rather not think about them at all.

So when someone suggests that AI means everyone will build their own custom tools, ask who "everyone" is. The three-person accounting firm drowning in client paperwork? They want the paperwork gone, not a new system to maintain. The regional logistics company with 40 trucks? They want the routes optimized, not Joe spouting off about this new system he’s been messing around with. The law firm billing 70-hour weeks? They want leverage on their time, not a software project to design.

They don’t hate technology. But building and maintaining their own critical systems isn’t their wheelhouse, regardless of how much faster and easier it’s become. It's another job on top of the job.

Will these people use AI? Absolutely, for all sorts of things. Will some outliers go deep and build real custom systems? Sure, but they're almost always people who already had some pull toward software. The curiosity was already there. They were dabblers before.

Giving everyone access to software building tools doesn't mean everyone becomes a builder. A powerful excavator doesn't turn a homeowner into a contractor. Most people just want the hole dug by someone else. They don’t want the responsibility either.

@pvergadia @openclaw codebase is the real world example here, let’s see how easy it is to fix a bug without introducing a regression 🤣

[Ognyan Genev @ogenev0]

@bradmillscan When you realise that OpenClaw is LLM that puts a bunch of markdown files into context and try to predict the next token based on probability…
