How often do you sleep for an entire day?

I did it only once, but it helped me a lot. Otherwise, there is too much to do. Doctor declared that I'm overworked several years ago, before I built a house and got a second job. YMMV.

Have you read anything on this you could point me to?


> it's probably time to relearn those (the upper classes never stopped using them)

Can you tell me more about these? I’m actively trying to find ways to cultivate my community.


Face-to-face social gatherings - parties, dinners, clubs, meetups

Membership organizations - country clubs, professional associations, alumni networks, charitable boards

Personal introductions and referrals - being introduced through mutual acquaintances

Cultural and civic participation - involvement in local institutions, community organizations, religious groups


Ha, I can only wish. Maybe true if you live in NYC, SF, Berlin or London.

But most of these don't exist or help with socializing and making new connections where I live (medium sized European university city).

Everyone here only hangs out with their family and school/university mates and that's it. Any other available events are either for college students or lonely retirees but nothing in between.


> Everyone here only hangs out with their family and school/university mates and that's it.

If you can get a few people from 2 of these groups together more than once, you've started solving this problem. Of course keeping it going for a long time is a challenge, and you want to avoid always being in the situation where you are doing all the work and others aren't contributing, but it gets easier and better with experience.


Except that if you're not anyone's family and not in university anymore then you're shit out of luck as people in their 30s already have their social circles already completed and don't have space, time and energy to add new strangers when they barely have free time to hang out with their existing clique.


There are also private group chats open only to selected elite and wealthy people. When you see several prominent people suddenly make similar public statements on a particular issue there's a good chance they used those group chats behind the scenes to coordinate messaging.


This also reminds me of the 1-way vs 2-way doors analogy Bezos mentioned in his interview with Lex Fridman — sweat the 1-way door decisions, not the 2-way door decisions.


> when you try to explain thinking about the organization's goals, and that their job is to help the team collectively achieve that... they think you're just spewing empty platitudes, like they were taught to spew for college application personal statements and job interviews.

Me in my first job.


Can you recommend any practical resources on the topic? Not fluffy business-orientated self help books like all the product management books that are recommended.


Sure:

* Competing against luck

* Four steps to the epiphany

* Positioning by Ries (IIRC)

But also books on business strategy and marketing are essential. I read several at uni. Maybe pick up an HBR guide or FT book if you don't want to go for a full textbook.

They should give you more ways to think about problems, let you be more confident in ideas you choose, and reinforce the need to iterate quickly and only gradually commit more resources.

Most entrepreneurial advice could probably be summarised as: make products with new tech that solve real problems.

The new tech part means you get in before competitors, and solving real problems keeps it laser focussed on customers with important enough problems they'll pay for it.


I will be a happy clam when it can check `Protocol`s.

> What is the difference from Ruff? Ruff, like pylyzer, is a static code analysis tool for Python written in Rust, but Ruff is a linter and pylyzer is a type checker & language server. pylyzer does not perform linting, and Ruff does not perform type checking.


Are there prints for sale?

> no one mentions is the feedback loop between a strongly typed language and copilots ability to more accurately generate code.

Dang, I never thought of this.


Can I see your paper template?

What if you want to graph tonnage?
