Content is somewhere across scientific interest yapping, media yapping, political yapping, intuitive yapping (aka showerthoughts)

and

Clearly articulated ideas and concepts that are founded in evidence, but stretched into theory based on pattern-matching and personal inference.

Physical therapy is basically HCI where the product being interacted with is the patient's own body. The interface just shifted from something external to something internal. Same principles, different layer.

[Shreyas (he/him) @picsbyshrey]

EMT work taught me the scene informs the outcome. PT taught me the product is the body itself. Product dev is the same loop, just the interface changed. The human operating system never did.

Product Is Always About Relationships https://t.co/7gB8nwERPI

[Shreyas (he/him) @picsbyshrey]

As an EMT, I read the scene before I touched the patient. The environment told me everything about what outcome was possible. I brought that same instinct to product. Before I design anything, I ask: what scenario is this person actually in?

[Shreyas (he/him) @picsbyshrey]

In physical therapy I hold authority over the body relationship. In product development I have to earn engagement. Same dynamic, different stakes. The thing I'm helping someone relate to just changed.

This is going to be a slow realization of many businesses that think AI is magic.

Coordinated attack on introspection by the tech oligarchs is pretty interesting

Socrates in 460 BC: “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

Marcus Aurelius in 150 CE: “You have power over your mind—not outside events.”

Augustine of Hippo in 400 CE: “Do not go outside; return into yourself. In the inward man dwells the truth.”

Marty Supreme was a fantastic movie but I don't think Timothee Chalamet deserved the Oscar for it. Great performance, just not Oscar level.

Tenet is just so deep. It requires a lot of intellectual depth to get it, and then a lot of faith too. That balance is what makes it such an interesting film.

sam altman talking about jobs not being real work because they're able to be wiped out is the most out of touch sentiment I could not have fathomed

Before a big conversation, I ask an LLM how a CEO from a totally different industry would see my problem. It gives me perspectives I'd never get from my usual circle. Now I walk into rooms already knowing how my value translates across contexts.

I think Michael B. Jordan should have won for Sinners. He really did something different with that role.

The bar to try something new has never been lower. But the bar to actually stand out? It's never been higher. Failure got smaller. Success got harder. Everyone has a voice now, so the real question is: what makes yours worth listening to?

[Shreyas (he/him) @picsbyshrey]

Engineering trained me to hold biology, chemistry, physics, and economics lenses at once. That breadth of critical thinking gave me so many different ways to look at a problem. Software felt more constrained by its own syntax. Engineering let me think outside the box.

[Shreyas (he/him) @picsbyshrey]

I used AI to translate my engineering knowledge into software vocabulary. It didn't teach me new skills. It helped me see where my foundation was already strong. I just needed to tweak the language to express what I already knew in a new industry.
