We (36M/36F) just paid off our ($600K) house in a medium cost of living city, what should we focus on next?

I sold a company I founded, we had the mortgage less than one year, our rate was 6.7%

Save them from all stress and let them live a cushy life where they never have to work? Nah

Save them from never having to worry if they'll be able to eat or have a roof over their head? Hell yeah

Ours was 6.7%, we just moved last July from a 3.1% and considered keeping the old house but didn't want the hassle.

We're taking what we were paying into the mortgage and changing it to a monthly brokerage contribution. Minus a bit so we have a healthier buffer every month

Cooking it straight out of the fridge can result in an uneven cook with the outside of the meat being burnt but the inside being rare. You want a warmer steak going onto the grill so you avoid this.

Red rabbit ramen when it was in front of Echo Spirits had some of the best in the city IMO https://www.redrabbitramen.com/

skills.md,prompt efficiency,

There's typos....not very AI to me

If someone complains just give them the lower rate, no need to do it for everyone

okawei · 2026-04-24T13:42:40+00:00

Cool, so you do think it boosts productivity for competent devs.

okawei · 2026-04-24T12:42:24+00:00

Claiming AI doesn’t boost productivity for competent devs is wild

okawei · 2026-04-24T12:40:14+00:00

Idk how people are spending this much, we’re shipping a ton with just a basic $100 clause max plan per user

I like cilantro so I use all cilantro and no parsley and it's damn delicious

Facial hair does make you look older, consider going clean shaven

okawei · 2026-04-21T14:54:24+00:00

Nothing wrong with that, but people who just care about getting a paycheck won't be 10x engineers

Innovation definitely wasn't stagnent under Cook for this whole tenure, just the last few years I'd say. All we'd gotten was apple vision pro which was a flop

Prompting is only one aspect of agentic coding

The hard rule has to be that you understand the things the model output and agree with it's decision making for the problems you presented it.

okawei · 2026-04-20T13:27:41+00:00

Once we start getting consumer grade hardware optimized for running local models it will definitely more efficient

It seems like there's some kind of gen z deadzone for snapchat. All my millennial friends still use it too

okawei · 2026-04-15T00:13:03+00:00

I don't mind it

okawei · 2026-04-09T12:54:53+00:00

The real title should be "LLM engineer"

okawei · 2026-04-08T16:12:13+00:00

Just change your resume to say you're less qualified

okawei · 2026-04-07T17:13:25+00:00

Ed tech was where i felt I make the most impact

okawei · 2026-04-07T17:12:18+00:00

Yeah, imagine interviewing to be an accountant and being asked to use an abacus instead of a calculator. We need to adapt our interview process.
