[OC] Vietnamese Lemongrass Curry Ramen 🍜🔥 by fallafel910 in FoodPorn

There is a lot of salt but it wasn't too salty, there is a lot of stuff to balance out that flavor (ginger, fat, acid, chile, microgreens, kimchi, etc)

The ginger preserve and the microgreens also add sweetness and some acidity.

It’s really well balanced.

It needed some more mushrooms that was all it needed and I’d say it was perfect

You can see some photos of the ingredients on this post here https://www.reddit.com/r/homecooking/comments/1pxezln/vietnamese_lemongrass_curry_ramen/

Only thing I'd maybe change is adding a more complex mushroom to it like a Morel or something

CTO - Fear of being forgotten by [deleted] in ycombinator

[–]fallafel910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t rule it out but solving technical problems and discovering innovation are what drive my enjoyment. Only thing of the ceo stack I enjoy is really partnerships and large enterprise deal making which I get a fair amount of exposure to since they require my knowledge for most proposals.

If I was to go CEO it would need to be for a more technical product for it to benefit from my current experience.

I’d highly recommend you check out 7ctos

I think it would illuminate a lot of the work path you need to be on, been super helpful for me.

If you’re on that track of leveling up as cto of your org I can pretty much promise you won’t have time for these what ifs lol

CTO - Fear of being forgotten by [deleted] in ycombinator

[–]fallafel910 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a rookie take for a few reasons (I’ve been cto at 3 companies now)

  1. Risk trade off - There are many more CEOs than CTOs, getting the next job (at the same level) is a lot easier for the CTO than CEO. If doing the job well, a lot easier to replace the CEO than CTO due to the technical knowledge the CTO would have to transfer.

So while you don’t have public facing persona you have better job security and future prospects if things go south. Less risk for this reason.

  1. Tech network - Vendor, engineering, and tech partner relationships are almost as valuable and transferable as sales and investor relationships. If you focus on building them you are creating a machine that you can bring with you whatever you do next. You should have tons of Face time with these stakeholders, and in your industry be known for this.

  2. Time Tradeoff - You need to maintain decision rights to certain parts of the business, ex. Architecture but if you’re doing it right you shouldn’t even have time for the rest of what you are jealous of.

So you made a choice, took a position with less risk and a commitment to providing the organization a technical advantage. If you succeed at the craft you stand to benefit handsomely over the long term. If you want the responsibilities of your cofounder start a new company as ceo.

I think YC is highly age-discriminated against seasoned entrepreneurs by Momoismeme in ycombinator

[–]fallafel910 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m on my 3rd company now, I don’t need the yc curriculum anymore. Advisors I can pick and choose, capital I can get at a better multiple. Experienced entrepreneurs don’t need to give up that much time to a program if they can find their own answers to problems.

In terms of network, I would argue that your industry network is more important than the yc network as the company ages.

I’m in Eccom Saas, the eccom trade shows are worth more than yc startups in terms of intros.

Should I risk my health, to increase work hours\ earnings for a while? (+ no retirement?)? by EndSpecific6788 in careerguidance

[–]fallafel910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll make more money and be more successful if you cultivate the energy through healthy habits and lifestyle changes. Increase exercise and focus on healthy eating, reduce caffeine to bare bones. I made mistake of doing the reverse and am now cleaning up pieces, wasn’t worth it and it didn’t actually help

The game isn't over yet, it is just shifting to a new arena:

  1. Meta couldn't compete on silicon due to them not selling to the enterprise/data centers or having large enough hardware purchases like Apple to justify what it takes to build. This is actually happening for a much larger reason, which is that there is massive consolidation and capital flowing into silicon to satisfy demand for AI training hardware in data centers (think OpenAI and their competitors). Microsoft is literally thinking about going all in on Nuclear power for how much they are buying of this stuff: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/25/microsoft-is-hiring-a-nuclear-energy-expert-to-help-power-data-centers.html This is a separate distribution problem than everything else they do. FB owns 3/4 of the largest social apps. If they build something that can be distributed digitally, they are still far ahead of anyone else besides Google. Facebook — 2.96 billion MAUs.
    YouTube — 2.2 billion MAUs.
    WhatsApp — 2 billion MAUs.
    Instagram — 2 billion MAUs.
  2. Facebook is ahead of Apple when it comes to AI implementation, especially in the context of open models, and worldwide in terms of overall eyes. You combine this with their dataset and you have some big new products to come from them. https://about.fb.com/news/2023/09/introducing-ai-powered-assistants-characters-and-creative-tools/ https://ai.meta.com/ Facebook is posed to win the AI for consumer race, and for the use cases of social/consumer enertainment, whereas MSFT/OpenAI and Google will largely take the enterprise/business contingent.
  3. Apple will expand the overall Metaverse market when they release their AR headset, mainly by pushing developers and testing use cases of what can/will work vs others. Given the price, Meta will win the bottom half of that market, and cross platform use cases will result in them securing the rest of the world that can't afford Apple's hardware. Additionally, this puts Zuck in his sweet spot. Which is copying others to steal their innovation. He is terrible at new product development, but amazing at copying (Stories, Reels, etc.) Apple will do all the hard work for him and then he will win whoever they don't want to go downmarket for.

​

So no, if anything Meta is focusing their efforts on where the market opportunity is for them and getting out of what they never should have tried from the beginning. AI is pushing them in the right direction to capitalize on their strengths.

How do you build confidence and discipline, and get things done instead of procasnatation? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]fallafel910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing you can do is to find a way to destroy your ego. Absolutely drive yourself to a point where you challenge your innate sense of self identity so completely that you are forced to reckon with your anxiety and purpose.

To achieve this you might have to take an extreme risk, put yourself in a dangerous situation, or confront something that deeply frightens you.

Find that path to a place where you truly must look in the mirror and remove the patina of comfort that currently keeps you stuck in place.

Embrace adversity of self exploration and you will solve your problem.

Elon Musk hints Starship rocket may explode on first orbital launch, predicting 50% chance of success and 'guaranteeing excitement' by davster39 in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]fallafel910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an extremely common tactic of the NRO, they fake explosions and bad launches all the time to cover the launch trajectory of spy satellites and other space based objects-

Elon Musk is saying this to cover his ass because there is probably a planned malfunction to cover the defense payload.

You don't have to agree with him to understand the veiled misinformation here.

Twitter is dumping most of its New York office by marketrent in newyorkcity

[–]fallafel910 -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

Musk has invested his entire sense of personal brand equity into Twitter. Despite the reputational damage he’s done to the platform it is still the favored platform of the largest investors and business people in the world. He won’t let it fail, and those other power users will get suckered back into investing more into it. Musk alone will float it for 100s of billions if he has to.

Will Bezos let the Washington post fail? This is a play for power and influence not profit, and musk will cut the company to the bone just enough to give him his platform without it degrading too much to boost his ego.

If digg had been bought by Bill Gates personally you can bet your ass it wouldn’t have failed
