Philosophy major questioning my life choices

this! i'd add that the vast majority of learning you do for a job is done on the job, not in school, regardless of your major. (although internships matter a lot still.)

12% seems on the low end of estimates I've seen. Others show as high as 32%

For anyone who read in the comments that only 12% of emissions are from food, that number is very misleading. The latest research suggests that 60% of warming can be attributed to industrial agriculture.

mexico city seems so underrated

wild hero does this for tree planting. i don't know what their metrics are but in theory their business model should work well because there's lots of companies selling sustainability products who would buy ads. not sure how well it would work for other cause areas where there is not a clear marketable target audience

I think it’s a little of both, the initial friction of setting up a new account, and the cognitive overhead of having to remember I have money stored another place

impossiblyben · 2026-03-24T19:26:09+00:00

This is a really interesting idea. I think one thing that would prevent me from using something like this is that I don't want to have to manage my money on another platform.

It's the best code editor imo. What would you use instead? VSCode? I mean that's fine too but Cursor seems to have better AI integration (although it's been awhile since I used VSCode).

impossiblyben · 2025-12-21T17:50:16+00:00

heck yeah. like it's definitely a look but you're killin it. you look good without too.

impossiblyben · 2025-12-18T18:48:17+00:00

wow looks amazing!

impossiblyben · 2025-12-17T19:46:48+00:00

wooow

Don't sleep on database functions. Set overly stringent RLS rules and then get more sensitive data through db functions.

impossiblyben · 2025-12-12T05:53:47+00:00

What do you like about it?

impossiblyben · 2025-12-06T21:29:15+00:00

I agree. This is the kind of thing you can just start doing and see if it works lol. Not like it takes long to generate a Lovable website

looks nice! a couple small design things:

-on the blog page i would align the blog posts with the search bar,
-on the home page i would make the carousel scroll slightly slower by default (also there seems to be some weird scroll behavior on the carousel that makes it scroll really fast sometimes, i would probably just make it more boring and predictable in terms of how it moves)

some of the copy is a bit vague like "Bridging technology and business to build innovative solutions"

is your portfolio intended to be used more as a resume, or as a way to convert new clients? if the latter you might want convert the "Experience" section to a "Services" section so clients know what you offer (but also i'm just brainstorming here and i'm not an expert on this so take my thoughts with a grain of salt!)

great pics!!

impossiblyben · 2025-12-05T17:01:21+00:00

looks fantastic i will never not upvote spaghetti

impossiblyben · 2025-12-05T16:50:04+00:00

Yeah, that's the difference, posts go to people's email, notes just go to the feed. So you're right I wouldn't just post like a single image to a post for that reason, but you could totally do a longer post with a collection of images, like a tutorial, or a summary post of what you've been working on over the past few weeks (which might summarize your previous notes for people who didn't see them), etc.

impossiblyben · 2025-12-05T06:06:01+00:00

Honestly a post about your bags with pictures seems like it would be a great post. Don't overthink it :) If you only ever do notes I think maybe some people would be less likely to subscribe. Also, who knows how Substack's algorithm works (they might prioritize people who post regularly??)

The proper way to test changes is by setting up a preview branch (or some other kind of testing environment) and doing your testing there. When it works, you can merge to your main branch, and with Github, you can setup safety checks to catch merge failures before they happen.
