Agree with this, sunk 3k hours into that game before i finally quit a couple years ago. It’s gotten progressively worse over time, what a shame.

TLDR: Computers

I got super lucky being in the right place/right time. I started a company when COVID hit with the intention of just selling computers. The market sort of pushed me into selling computers for AI/ML which i knew nothing about but had a good background in Linux, so I could offer a lot of added services in terms of DevOps/MLOps, setting things up for customers as added value which my (much larger and more established) competition didn’t. This led to some enterprise connections, started selling servers, more things happened and 3 years later I have a full engineering team and we’re morphing into an OEM. There’s a lot I’m leaving out but if there’s one takeaway I can give, it’s that:

  1. Never underestimate what you’re capable of learning by just putting in the time and work
  2. Don’t de-value random things you’ve put time and effort into learning. Even something you were obsessed with as a teenager and seemed like a complete waste of time may eventually become critically important in your adult life.

MacOS with a tiling window manager for work, Win10 on PC for gaming and Linux on all servers. I would run Linux for work if Office, Adobe and esp. Outlook ran on it, MacOS with Yabai + SKHD is the closest I can get to a Linux experience while still being functional for work.

A few years ago I downloaded a browser extension to stop showing me recommended videos, both on the homepage and on the side of videos. I can only watch what I’m subscribed to and what I search for - you’d think its a big sacrifice because you can’t discover as many videos, but in reality I’ve gained so much more of my time back and control over what I actually want to watch.

“Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. So far very powerful writing. Just finished reading “Tuesday’s with Morrie” which is fantastic.
