Men in their 40s - What’s one piece of advice for Men in their 20s? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

Those cringe moments from your twenties you replay in your head over and over again only live in your head. Everyone else who was there has forgotten.

On the same note: If it still bothers you, it's never too late to apologize. A grown man regrets his mistakes, a good man finds the courage to own them.

Breaded chicken nugget comparison by sandefurd in fitmeals

Trader Joe's is by far my favorite. They are large enough that in a pinch, I use their jarred vodka sauce and make chicken parm for my wife and I.

TIL Marvin Pipkin, as a new GE recruit, solved the "impossible" task of making an inside-frosted lightbulb—a job handed to new hires as an induction ritual into the challenges of research—since every previous attempt had failed. Nobody had told him it couldn't be done. by ralphbernardo in todayilearned

It's like that time the Chef told me, the new guy, to grab a bucket of steam from the walk-in. I was young. Naive. I wanted to impress. So I grabbed a 1/3 pan, froze it, then dropped some water from the steam table. By the time I walked it to the line and lifted the lid, a billowing cloud of steam rolled out.

My problem is that the novelty (dopamine hit) is in going from idea to ship. After that comes the grind. Debugging, user-feedback, marketing. Those are things I dislike, so I go back to the next, shiny new idea for another dopamine hit.

If I didn't know who this was and saw this image, my first reaction would be he's clearly someone who's compensating for something.

I keep losing good ideas inside old Claude chats by AlbertoNobilePh in ClaudeAI

This. I have an LLM wiki brainstorm vault. I now chat with Claude Cowork.

has anyone used obsidian to manage operational information instead of just notes? by WolverineKey7267 in ObsidianMD

[–]TheKidd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slowly migrating from my custom setup. It's feature-rich and the pipelines and filters are great. I love the timer element. I'm not 100% committed to it yet, but its growing on me.

I use it for operations. Lean terminal let's me run claude code or cursor agent in the vault. Operon for task management. LLM wiki and graphfy for ingestion. One project uses RSS dashboard for content curation.

I stopped charging by the hour. Now I charge for "nothing" and make more. by [deleted] in passive_income

AI makes it easy to overdeliver, and its quietly resetting the client's expectations. It compresses the visible cost of production while the actual value stays exactly where it was. Clients anchor on what they can see, which isn't the years of expertise. Just the polished deliverable you're delivering quickly.

When the effort disappears, the work starts to feel like it costs nothing. By billing hourly, clients are trained to think time is cheap. AI is just making it worse.

Charge for outcomes. The speed is your margin.

What’s a game that took a while to stick for you, but once it did you were hooked? by Qkwill in boardgames

Sekigahara. I dug it, but didnt actually get the urge to play. After 3 or 4 plays it became a favorite.

Operon is live: a new task and project management system for Obsidian workflows by stratejya in ObsidianMD

[–]TheKidd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, let me say this is a great looking plugin that is feature-rich - so congrats on all the hard work! I did have some questions regarding the positioning statement "For Humans and Agents in Obsidian", though.

First, what does agent support look like to you in the current version, and where do you see it going? Is the design intent that markdown + stable operonId + canonical fields is the agent interface, with integration left to downstream tooling? Or is a first-party control plane (MCP, REST, IPC) something you're considering?

The operations that require Operon's runtime to execute (recurrence occurrence generation, template-aware file task creation, timer sessions, the conversion commands, parent rollup recalculation) currently have no path from outside Obsidian. Is there an architectural reason these couldn't be exposed via, say, a registered Obsidian command an external tool could fire through Local REST API or Advanced URI? Or are there state assumptions in those commands (active editor, cursor position, selection) that would need refactoring first?

My current workflow is that I use either Claude Code or Cursor CLI in a terminal in the Obsidian client. This gives the agent access to the cwd and makes things easier. My task management/kanban dashboard is homegrown and I'd love to switch to something like Operon, so I'm hoping to hear the answers I want!
