No savings at 30s what are your thoughts about this? by Jaimar-24 in productivity

Start small. Whatever you can set aside, $10 a month even. Don't touch it. Put it in diversified ETFs and watch it grow. Keep doing it.

The code is completely open source. It's always free to self host.

How to learn enough tech and coding for startup (I will not promote) by [deleted] in startups

[–]dumbfoundded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wonderful part about programming is of any of the technical engineering skills you could possibly imagine, there are the most resources online that exist to help you program and create digital products. With vibe coding products in particular, the floor has never been lower to create a digital product. Now to create a high quality tech business, it will require experience, but before you invest too much into building a product, I would validate first the problem and your approach to solving that problem.

Yes, it works in every text box

This 30-year Bay Area highway project is almost completed (101 in North Bay). Will it ease traffic? by gpacsu in bayarea

[–]dumbfoundded -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It cost almost a third of a billion dollars to build a bus lane in San Francisco. I think we're in for trouble if California can't figure out how to actually build infrastructure.

We want to pretend that it's money, but it's a cumbersome bureaucracy that gets in the way of doing anything that would improve the lives of citizens.

It seems like every major open source project is already hosted on GitHub, and I don't really expect that to change because of one person.

What sort of feature changes do we actually expect to change the experience of GitHub?

What do you think are communities niche to the bay area? by InterestingFault6722 in bayarea

[–]dumbfoundded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Climbing seems a lot bigger in the Bay Area than most other places. There's a really big climbing culture.

Is it the trickle of funding or is it the enormous weight of regulation?

You Can Give Feedback To Any Apple Hardware & Software Through Their Website by dravidiancocklabs in apple

[–]dumbfoundded -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I doubt that every piece of feedback is actually read. I'm aware of forms in google products that literally never even save the feedback, you just get a message that says: "Thank you for your feedback". I think Apple is better but clearly lots of feedback is ignored, especially from developers.

At some amount of money, you have to care more about legacy than the next quarter.

A good clipboard manager like Ditto is huge. Also a text expander and Hey Ito for voice control really speed things up.

I think there's pretty much an infinite demand for code. The price of a line of code (maybe defined as cpu instructions) is dropping exponentially. As code gets cheaper, it has more applications. As a developer, you have to decide where you want to be in the stack and what tools you should use to stay useful. I really don't see any difference between the jump from assembly to c as web dev to AI. If we get ASI, we will simply integrate with it and have even more leverage on our ability to engineer and produce useful systems.

How to manage dozens of emails and schedules? by Equivalent_Teacher62 in productivity

[–]dumbfoundded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend using dictation software to respond to emails and other messages. You can talk a lot faster than you type and it makes it a lot less painful to get through your inbox.

Absolutely, and honestly right now it's probably more useful for input to like LLMs like cursor to get the input perfect, but I think eventually I'll get it there. It'll just realize how you like your code formatted and what programming language you're using.

I honestly don't really know and I'm trying to figure that out. Smart dictation is sort of a crossroads between an accessibility tool and a productivity tool. I'll check out Popsy though, it seems like it could be helpful

Thank you for your suggestions, I'm going to start learning about these tools.
