@emilkowalski The friction comes with thinking and writing. It comes from Analysing the output of Agents. They're not perfect and still make a ton of mistakes, take inefficient approaches and bloat up scope on sufficiently hard problems.
getting to learn a lot at my new job! slightly overwhelming considering the pace, but yeah, crazy experience. currently setting up analytics pipeline with clickhouse. let's see how this all goes!
When I started my first job in 2010, I bought a few books. One of them was Hackers & Painters by @paulg. I was a recent graduate, just starting my career.
In the book, Paul wrote something that has stuck with me ever since: “If you have two choices, choose the harder.”
The idea is that the gains from doing hard things compound over time. When there are two paths in front of you, taking the harder one will cause you to learn more from it in the long run.
That sentence stuck with me so much that, even 16 years later, I still follow that advice. It has helped me a lot throughout my career, and I’m trying to teach the same thing to my two kids. That a comfortable life is often built by doing hard things, putting in the effort, and learning how to solve problems.
quand on sait que tiktok recrute à coup de millions des ingés en neurosciences comportementales et des spécialistes du design persuasif pour hacker nos circuits dopaminergiques, je me félicite chaque jour de n'avoir jamais créé de compte sur cette plateforme mdr
regardez ces études scientifiques en IRMF et eeg qui montrent très clairement quele format vidéo court attaque directement le cortex préfrontal et le cortex cingulaire antérieur (pour info ces zones gèrent le contrôle exécutif, la prise de décision et la régulation de l'attention)
sachez qu’een bombardant le cerveau de micro stimuli imprévisibles, l'algo altère la densité de matière grise et réduit l'activité du réseau par défaut & cette surstimulation permanente entraîne une incapacité chronique à penser à long terme et détruit la capacité à être focus, 2 facultés qui pour moi sont littéralement indispensables à notre époque pour construire l'avenir
bref je pense que refuser d'entrer dans ce système, c'est simplement préserver son autonomie cognitive et la souveraineté de sa propre attention face à une ingénierie de l'addiction taillée sur mesure
for the young folks out there: be humble. humility is the greatest virtue. skills will come and go; your failures and successes will come and go. what always remains constant is how you treat people and how you make them feel. i hope the world becomes a little kinder.
"you are in the reputation-building business, and software is actually downstream of that."
Great read if you've started something new and feel pressure to prove yourself. The advice: don't spiral. Be a reliable teammate first & the bigger work will follow.
@threepointone Just started a new job and I can feel this in my bones. The urge to prove myself asap. Which increases stress and intend to overwork.
Thanks for the advice. Good one.

Life's good!
