    Don’t Learn to Code. Think Like a Technostacker Instead.

    GOLD! - AI - 
    I agree with this. Some use AI to try to be hands off (doesn’t work). I use AI as an accelerator. It gets me the answer in minutes like you mentioned. The old way is Google search, read the first 3-5 links, go through some StackOverflow answers (not always helpful), read some blogs, etc. The...

    Don’t Learn to Code. Think Like a Technostacker Instead.

    GOLD! - AI - 
    Once you move beyond toy projects or start scaling, you still need solid fundamentals; architecture, testing, security, and general software engineering paradigms. Without knowing these fundamentals, as the project gets bigger, the more AI slop is created, and the slop compounds over time making...

    "Self-compassion" vs. "Mental toughness" - A dichotomy for retards

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Great post, @heavy_industry! Agreed that wisdom (or knowledge) is king, and with that comes the ability to adapt. I personally don’t have any issues with self compassion or mental toughness. As you said, I know when to use the right tool for the job. With self compassion, I’ve learned to use...

    From Laid off to CEO: Building a Multi-Million Dollar Software Company [Progress Thread]

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    If 4o has been working for you, keep at it! There are models out there that does a lot better when it comes to logic compared to 4o as it’s very general. What I’m saying is if you ever feel stuck with 4o, try a model that does better at coding/logic. Just a suggestion! Continue to do what works.

    From Laid off to CEO: Building a Multi-Million Dollar Software Company [Progress Thread]

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Have you explored other models? Claude Sonnet 3.5/3.7 has been my go to model for technical coding and it’s been amazing. Lots of data, along with the community, has backed up that Sonnet is the best model when it comes to handling code. Maybe the latest models from OpenAI like 4.1, o3 or...

    Lifestyle design help

    MINDSET 
    Life is all about making these micro adjustments. You're already ahead of so many people with this kind of self awareness. At least you're already ahead of me. I'm 38 years old. I thought my 20's were my prime. I saw myself as a big shot, running around Iraq with a machine gun, thinking I was...

    Lifestyle design help

    MINDSET 
    My answer comes from my personal understanding of the world and what I perceive to be a winner. Winners are people with leverage. There's probably a better term, but leverage feels right because winners can move things and make results appear effortless to others. Leverage isn't limited to...

    Video game development is my passion and I’m making it my fast lane strategy.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    @DonyaSze , I don’t think you mentioned it, but are you using AI to help you code this game? If not, you need to start using it. I chose “need” intentionally instead of “should.” Those who are at the forefront of this AI revolution are already building and bringing their visions to life at an...

    From Laid off to CEO: Building a Multi-Million Dollar Software Company [Progress Thread]

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I know I’ve commented before, but I’m not here to revisit that. As engineers, we are cursed with a builder’s mindset. @EmotionEngine, I understand you because I’ve been where you are. I had the same drive, the same push, the same passion to build and pour everything into it. I’m not here to...

    The Art of Crafting a Landing Page That Converts (for techies)

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    I don't have anything to contribute but wanted to say, @Two Dog @Kung Fu Steve your inputs in here have been valuable to me as I'm gearing up to create landing pages and nurture emails. The elements talked about here validated some of the things I've learned, but I'm also hearing some things for...

    What are your rules for your phone usage (especially social media)?

    HEALTH 
    I don't uninstall apps, but I control my usage with them. The underlying problem for me is controlling the pull of distractions. If I'm scrolling for hours, I have lost control. Over time I've learned to address this main problem. Even if I uninstall apps on my phone, there will always be other...

    Need coding advice for my business startup

    SIDE HUSTLE SAAS / APPS 
    This part is the best advice right here if someone is set on learning to code. Hell even to get a basic understanding of coding. ChatGPT or Claude at $20/month will not only teach you, but be your personal teacher that you can go to at any time. And it will never judge you for stupid questions...

    Your process to choosing the right service provider

    SOURCING CHAT QUESTION 
    Actually I agree with this. I'm applying this now with a new marketing agency I just hired. I let him know transparently that after 3 months I will re-evaluate if I will continue with his service. It's a month-to-month contract so I'm covered when it comes to terminating the partnership. I...
