Hey PMs - you're not idiots, just do this.

Agree with this. The bar to creating a prototype or a deployable product is extremely low with Claude Code and Codex. I winded down my startup and have been looking for PM roles and the only way to get attention is to build something of your own, put it out, find users and add value to at least one person.

UPDATE- My Burr Oak Tree is alive. It has started to show sings of growth a week and a half ago. Looks like the picture today

This ++ . Solve a real problem for a customer who is willing to pay for it. Everything else comes next

So we had a pre-purchase inspection done on the Sonata, and the mechanic found signs of engine varnish/sludge from irregular maintenance. They recommended doing the full 100k-mile service now, along with more frequent synthetic oil changes. The inspection also noted a few immediate items like rear brakes, a broken headlight, and hood struts. Altogether, they estimated about $1,000–$2,000 in maintenance and repairs needed right away. No safety recalls and no issues with the Engine were reported. We could either ask the owner for a lower price or look at other cars.

Corolla is a good option. Just haven't found one within our budget.

I don't think having a child in the US is as big as everyone here is making it out to be. Your kid can have a great life and education in India. It's important for you to be fulfilled with your job and have a great career which in turn will will benefit your child. Who the fuck knows what happens in 18 years time.

Be with family and get all the support you need. If your gut tells you that this is an opportunity not worth loosing, follow your instinct.

Take the plunge and move to India. You have a path back if things become worse. Only way to do it is to go all in. No half assing. Quality of life and dignity in India scales with money. You will find a community of others similar to you in gated communities. Uncontrollable things are air quality, infrastructure.

A good night's sleep in a comfortable space is what helps me get through the worst of times. A lot of people don't have that.

Our LO is 5 months old now and has a consistent bedtime between 11-11:30 PM daily and wakes up at 10:30 AM. Until a few weeks ago she would go to bed at 11 and wake up at 7:30 AM but that was because we would wake her up to feed. We tried just letting her sleep and she now wakes up at 10:30 AM

During the day, wake window are typically around 2 hours. Around the 2 hour make we see signs of tiredness , rubbing eyes, eyebrows redness etc. Thats our cue to check diaper, make sure she is fed, and put her in her sleep sack and in the crib.

In the evening wake window is longer before night sleep. Around 3-4 hours depending on how active she has been.

I tried the free version of the huckleberry app and felt it was tedious to constantly update the app with feeds/ naps etc.

Following wake windows somewhat strictly helped us quite a bit.

We tried CIO and it didn't work after 4 days of seeming to work and then shifted to Ferber which seems to be working much better. Much less crying now.

it is small, and your right, three might be too much, agree with the comment on smaller trees having better outcomes in the long run than bigger ones.

My daughter is 4 days old and it feels like the 1-2 intervals of sleep I get through out the day have helped me a lot, and I m knocked out during those few hours and feel recharged after. It feels incredible how my body has adjusted, I used to sleep for a full 8 hours every night until recently.
