If you're not active, you're sick. You just don't know it yet. If you don’t move regularly, your metabolism is already compromised. You may feel fine, but under the surface, the foundations of long-term health are deteriorating. https://t.co/BRjvHhcD9W https://t.co/P3fjAfn7VR

I may not be the smartest, but I succeed through sheer persistence. I shared 10 ideas from the books I've read, posting daily—not for likes or sales, but to build discipline. What are you pursuing with relentless determination? https://t.co/w3FaX1wyUo

Skills obsolence is a reality for everyone - from coders to the CEO. Do you think CXOs are not under pressure to upskill themselves? I know CEOs who are taking private coaching & enrolling in executive MBAs.

Why There Can’t Be a Mamdani in India It is striking that India - despite having the largest youth population in the world - has ossified the way it has.

When tools like AudioPen & VoiceNotes came out I bought them. Even lifetime plans. But now I use chatgpt directly. It has all my chats together in one place. With “memory” feature I can chat across everything. Do you still use these apps? What are your use cases?

What I like about Kobo Plus (the Kindle Unlimited equivalent): Recently, I started using Kobo for reading, and I've come to appreciate this feature a lot.

The more I experiment with AI for coding the more I understand their limits. This also tells me how effective these AI tools are for other domains like nutrition, fitness … These AI tools replaces average minds and democratises actions for average expectations.

What are the advantages & disadvantages of #svelte? There are many advantages. Only one disadvantage: no job market or super low. Now with all agentic tools (figma, lovable) generating react / nextjs based code, demand is going to be more for them, not for svelte.… https://t.co/n8LcEIlOAB

The agentic commerce ecosystem is developing very quickly. In the beginning, there was MCP. Then, OpenAI introduced the Agentic Commerce Protocol, enabling checkouts within ChatGPT powered by Stripe. Now, PayPal is not just a payment system; it's also a wallet.…

Zapier vs Pipedream vs n8n • Zapier is non-tech business person's automation tool. • n8n is self-hosted bare-metal automation tool. • Pipedream hits sweet-spot between the two. You can get down to coding if required. Their AI assistant to write your automation is also superb

A dead-simple API to store and retrieve text or JSON. No login. No fuss. https://t.co/wpb55vMXIt I came across this setget service while researching for storing temporary data. Simple, small, but useful service.

While experimenting with workflow tools such as Zapier, n8n, and Pipedream, I often find: Pipedream > n8n > Zapier.

If you are using Dropbox with n8n, use OAuth rather than just with access token. Access tokens expire quickly. It is ok to use that for quick checks but for long running workflows, use OAuth. https://t.co/owF3cOkjGG

Question for this who sell n8n services. How do you set your prices? Coming from a dev background, I am used to a longer contracts. n8n works seems to be very short. So wondering how you price these.

How to append a rss feed item to a dropbox file using n8n Dropbox doesn't offer an append API. So you've to download the file, read the file in javascript and then upload the file. Used claude to write / debug code. Tested it. Let me see if this works. https://t.co/aSFiqXbehq

Trying out Kobo ios app. Subscribed to their Kobo Plus (equivalent to Kindle Unlimited). One big difference I already see: I can't export highlights from all books. If you read a book with KU subscription, you can export highlights. Doesn't seem to be the case in Kobo. https://t.co/wVld5ZKVGj
