Just sent my 1st quick guide out to people on my email list (pls let me know if I missed you or if you wanna join)! The Creator's Guide to Shipping Quickly: buymeacoffee.com/shefali/e/1649… More coming on productivity & making time to work on your dreams 🚀. cc: @_buildspace

@raymmar @Replit Ah yes. Of course! Well sounds like you’ve got it all sorted. Best of luck!

@planetshefali @Replit I’m not sure about that. Our community is global and we intend to meet them on the front lines as often as we can.

One of the things you learn from traveling often (living out of a suitcase) is how to organize your life in ways that remove decision fatigue. You prioritize what “baggage” you carry because every ounce and inch need to be accounted for at every step. This means you either put things in their place, or scramble to organize your life every time you need to make any kind of movement. Over time you methodically build systems to make sure everything gets back to where it belongs. This way you always know where things are and never have to sweat the small stuff. When I see rookies travel they spread things out. Drop clutter everywhere and have zero systems for how to organize their stuff. Whether walking through security or unpacking at the hotel. This is very similar to how many people treat life. When I’m in a hurry, or something goes wrong, I don’t have to think about “where is my passport? Where did I put the car keys?” Etc. Instead I can trust that they are exactly where I put them every single time. This frees my mind to focus on more important things. You also learn to let go of the unnecessary. Only keep the stuff that matters. Clothes, trinkets, etc. You become ruthless about what you want to carry around from place to place or risk moving slow and missing opportunities. In this way you should think about life as a similar continuous journey. It’s easy to get comfortable in one place and let the chaos consume you. To accumulate things and find comfort surrounding yourself with what you know. But staying lean and only keeping the things that matter will exponentially improve your quality of life. This is the secret successful people will never tell you. They are constantly cutting things out of their mind, life, etc. that do not give them some kind of advantage for the next phase of their journey. This means building filters for how you collect and manage people, possessions, etc. everything has a weight. And you need to decide how much you want to carry with every step. This means being ruthless about what you keep around you. Think about the physical and mental cost of lugging these things around at every step. And then learn to put everything in its place. In your luggage and in your head. The advantage you gain will put you ahead of 80% of the world.

@raymmar Yes… nail on head. Sounds like that season is ending and you’re getting settled @replit?

Yes. Keeping track of everything becomes a chore. And the. The anxiety at every step of whether you got everything. And then inevitable misplacing something at the worst time. Or not being able to find that thing you know you have but have no idea where it is. Totally drains you mentally which means you can’t enjoy the location or be at your best.

@uppiliventures @DanielSmidstrup Haha I understand well.

@planetshefali @DanielSmidstrup I seem to have way too many myself let alone to reach my families and friends 😅

Are you building something people actually need?

@pmarca It’s beautiful too.

Oh yeah.

@uppiliventures @DanielSmidstrup I don’t know if this is a general question to the internet, but I build for my / my family’s problems… So many to choose from 😂.

@DanielSmidstrup do you build for your problems first or others

@MINHxDYNASTY Shotokan karate

what is the best martial arts to learn?

@serene_hilz A little late but I’m with ya.

There’s a certain kind of quiet that feels a lot more like isolation when you’re the only one staying grounded. Wish I had someone on my wavelength tonight. 🙇‍♀️🌙✨

@ImTheYoussef @amasad Agentsmaxing > looksmaxing

@amasad Looksmaxing ❌️ Agentsmaxing✅️

22 ACTIVE PARALLEL AGENTS…. and 13 in draft 😭

@amasad Ok now I don’t feel guilty at all 😳

@ReplitSupport You guys are the best!

We’re currently investigating an issue causing some users to encounter errors when using Agent. Some Agent runs may fail or return errors. Thanks for your patience as our team actively works on a fix!

@amasad @Replit Oh my! I’ve been feeling guilty / greedy for building like this. Noobs are gonna be sad after this day.

Shout out to @replit engineers and support team keeping everything together as users run armies of agents building everything they ever dreamed of 😅

@ReplitSupport @amasad @Replit Oh I see one problem. Agent doesn’t like photo uploads at the moment.

@planetshefali @amasad @Replit Hey Shefali! Any errors you're seeing? Agent should be back up again.

.@Replit @amasad love the upcoming free use of agent. Wondering what happens to those of us who are already on pro plans? Do we also get to benefit or is it only for new customers.

@ReplitSupport @amasad @Replit Hi! Just the “agent encountered an error while running, we are investigating…”. It’s been about 50 min like that. Prompts get sent but no agent activity. I can completely understand though! I think west coast woke up and got busy 😂.

@amasad @Replit It worked all morning then agent was like ok that’s enough 😢. Hope it works again!

@amasad @CSK22G @Replit Thank you for unlocking super mode for us. No holding back for 24 hr.

@base I was so committed to being an artist on Base but then the platform seemed to show down. What do you feel is the best way for artists to use Base now?

Which Base projects should people be looking at?

@pmarca I knew it! Innovation for the sake of innovation… Entrepreneurs keeping first principles first will win over the ones hyped up on hyping up.

When something becomes abundant and cheap, someone else becomes scarce and valuable.

@Kolja__ @PaulYacoubian @amasad Oh man! Chat told me this was the case… if I had known better, we would have moved there. Doesn’t seem like there are many single family houses though, are there?

@PaulYacoubian @amasad Finally someone who knows that. Most people will tell you "it's all gonna liquify during an earthquake", which is totally wrong.

Replit left San Francisco for Foster City. The "why" we're leaving is boring, sad, and predictable (crime, dysfunction, etc), so instead let me tell you why we chose Foster City. Foster City embodies the American post-war optimism and the long-lost California pro-growth mentality. in 1958 businessman Jack Foster set out to build "a master-planned community concept"; in 1960 bought Brewer Island, a largely undeveloped land used for salt evaporation and dairy farming; in 1961 started building, and in 1964, the first family moved in. By 1966, more than 5,000 people were living there. Can you imagine how long it would take to build such a project today? The city is also known for its innovative engineering, particularly its "Venice-like" lagoon system. Instead of employing massive landfills to elevate the terrain for development, engineers devised a system of lagoons that provided essential drainage and a super cool aesthetic landscape. Finally, the city is super livable. When Haya and I moved to California, we first took residence there and, in fact, incorporated Replit here. Our first bank was Wells Fargo, a few steps from our new office. It's relatively affordable compared to the rest of the Bay Area and has a healthy mix of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. Downtown San Mateo is a bridge away, a fun place to hang out or live. Finally, in the Bay Area, almost every town has an associated iconic tech company. When you think of Mountain View, you think of Google; when you think of Cupertino, you think of Apple. My hope is that in the future, when you think of Foster City, you'll think of Replit.

@samuel_spitz @Replit Brilliant!
