@joshmanders The ultimate proof that building in public is dangerous(ly sexy)!!!

Y’all need therapy. Holy shit.

@scottpython @beginbot fascinating read about CCRU book.. ruinedchapel.com/2025/11/21/boo…

@foucist @beginbot I think it is inspired by Nick Land / CCRU (cultural theory & philosophy)

I couldn't sleep last night, spent hours working on a perfect software factory and I think I finally cracked the god loop

@shl Full-time engineers? Or how many units of 30-man hours per week if you’re relying on mainly contractors/part-time.

Gumroad is now 100% engineers

@BillJelavich @paulg There were second-order effects though, mainstream media & journalists were heavily influenced by Twitter as well. Cancel culture for example was very Twitter-centric, but the chilling effect of that was felt broadly.

@foucist @paulg In your imagination. Think of all the people out there not spending their time on social media.

The rise and fall of wokeness: DEI commitments in corporate securities disclosures filed with the SEC. To me this seems a trailing indicator; most other measures of wokeness take off well before 2019 and peak in 2020 or 2021. But the shape! That's what a moral fashion looks like.

@dherealmark @levelsio @dannypostma Do you have a good tolerance for heat? I've spent many years in Thailand but I'm starting to get tired of the heat now. Back home in Canada my happy place is hiking in the mountains. With Thailand I find I end up spending too much time indoors dodging the heat.

People thought I was dumb to intentionally burn my 50K/mo biz to the ground by taking 3Y off to build IRL assets. But in those 3Y, I got to finally escape the nomad bubble, and spend that MRR on IRL assets and experience. I bet @dannypostma is doing this rn. Interestingly, like @robj3d3 Ive been having 8h days sprinting and shipping videngineer.com/updates like a beast But I imagine if I didnt have my space, I would have the same mental breakdown,. x.com/dherealmark/st…

People are actually ending up in the hospital with stress from trying to escape the permanent underclass

@robj3d3 @AnthropicAI How do you feel after playing this? superdario.pawb.de

I'm done with them fucking with us. Ended up in hospital today from stress. Stayed up all night pushing my limits too hard, thinking it would be removed. Health comes first. Do better @AnthropicAI

@tiagopita @pedma7 @levelsio lol trying to blame influencers

I read somewhere that "When you choose a life partner you're choosing your eating companion for about 20,000 meals, your travel companion for about 70 vacations, your retirement friend, career therapist, & someone whose day you'll hear about 18,000 times" and I really can't stress this enough.

Shift the line over to include the Rockies and this is true

@levelsio @publicappscom Can’t forget the cyclic nature of their hormones and how their mood could be at an all time low around the week of their period. Saw this recently and it was a good reminder youtu.be/tc1rzOVgMnw?si…

@publicappscom 100%

Over half of fights with my girlfriend are solved by feeding her

That’s one huge rocket-sized butthole for mankind.

@elonmusk That’s one huge rocket-sized anus for mankind.

@bdlowery @zacharyr0th @levelsio My guess it’s a bot post trying to promote a product

@zacharyr0th @levelsio he's saying you need paper to filter out the oils, and with espresso you don't use paper.

Espresso is bad for cholesterol build up in veins due to coffee oils that filter paper (like in V60) filters out

@levelsio Looking very Scottish all of a sudden

Ok these were not in fact bell peppers 🥵😭

@beffjezos Apparently this is engagement bait because there’s so many angry people in the replies

Life is an optimization algorithm, and simulated annealing is the way to find global optima for any parameter. Once you understand stochastic algorithms, they can become a prescription for how to live your life.

@marclou Curious what your testosterone level looks like when it’s not suppressed

This was a mistake. In 2024, my wife and I started a low-carb / low-calorie diet. For me, the impact wasn’t critical: + Low testosterone (133 ng/mL) + Lack of energy for heavy workouts + Low body fat, but muscles were maintained + Felt good overall My wife had a very different experience: + Significant weight loss + Wrecked sleep (wakes up at 2 a.m., can’t fall back asleep) + Lack of overall energy (not just for workouts) + Female hormones dropped to extremely low levels + Reduced libido, missed periods It took us almost 2 years to find the culprit. At first, we blamed her sleep habits: We stopped eating a while before bed, stopped drinking coffee, etc. Then we blamed her workout intensity—so she stopped doing Hyrox and switched to lighter training like pilates. Two months ago, during our usual 6-month blood test in Korea, she decided to also check her female hormone levels (Estradiol & Luteinizing). They were at an extreme low (3.5x lower than minimum normal levels) We then saw a gynecologist in Korea, who explained that the low-calorie diet was the source of all her problems. Wonji has been eating more (and reintroduced carbs), and her symptoms are disappearing step by step: + More energy + Close to perfect sleep + Reasonable muscle and weight gain + More libido (nice!) + Periods are back We blindly followed @bryan_johnson’s ethos: “every calorie must fight for its life.” It was our mistake to assume that what works for a 48-year-old man with medical care would also work for a 33-year-old woman.

@marclou @pistondonda Broccoli, green onion, and garlic?

@pistondonda Brocoli is top 3 longevity veggie Tons of good stuff in there

I want worms in my vegetables. That’s how I know they weren’t drowned in pesticides.
