@KevinNaughtonJr It depends on what you want to build and what you know. Good stack is contextual. There are no universal good stacks. Having said that, • deno • preact • sqlite • coolify • hetzner (btw: not a good software engineer)

@DeepakNesss i have been thinking of creating something like this for my static site. Will borrow from this. Thanks for sharing

What about you? Have you ever felt drained chasing society’s idea of “success”? Or have you found happiness in unexpected, quiet places? Reply below—I'd love to hear your story. 👇

We’re told to dream big, but for many, this leads to burnout or emptiness. Big doesn’t always mean better. Sometimes, the richest joys come from the smallest goals: • A meaningful conversation • A shared meal • Watching someone you love grow Small goals. Big life.

What I’ve learned? Goals aren’t “one size fits all.” If you thrive on big public success, go for it! But if you, like me, find joy in quiet moments, deep relationships, or solving problems in your own way... Small goals aren’t limiting. They’re freeing.

Here's my life now: • homeschool my sons, watching their curiosity bloom. • go out with my family weekly, exploring new cuisines. • write to express myself and wrestle with big ideas. • meet people 1:1 for coffee and real conversations. Small life. But joyful and authentic.

Smaller goals seemed so counterintuitive But then I realized: They aligned with me. Here are my small but meaningful goals: • Build a close-knit family • Teach my kids (I homeschool them) • Invest in stocks (analyzing companies is my jam)

After years of frustration, I finally asked myself: "What makes me actually happy?" Not what looks good on Instagram. Not what hustle culture tells me. For the first time, I let go of "big goals." The answer surprised me: small, personal goals.

I checked boxes: Solo travel? ✅ But soon, even that felt empty . Starting a company? ✅ Turns out, as an introvert, I hated the endless networking & meetings. I didn’t feel alive. I felt drained. The big goals I chased weren’t for me—they were for the applause of others.

I was obsessed with the idea of "Big Hairy Audacious Goals" (BHAGs). Motivational speakers told me to dream big, so I did: • Buy an apartment in Long Island • Travel the world • Start a company But no matter how much I achieved, happiness kept slipping away.

@GergelyOrosz This also depends on product and service companies. When a CTO moves from one to another there is huge mindshift needed

The tools aren’t perfect. GenAI still has bugs, quirks, and limitations. But sitting and waiting? That’s the bigger risk. History rewards early adopters who experiment, learn, and evolve alongside new tech. Want to read more?

If you're running a business: how do you start leveraging GenAI right now? 1️⃣ Automate repetitive work (free up your best people). 2️⃣ Let your team experiment & learn hands-on. 3️⃣ Build systems to turn good ideas into action. Start small, but START.

Look at what history teaches us: How universities adopted the internet👇 1️⃣ PDFs of application forms on websites 2️⃣ Automation. Efficient workflows 3️⃣ Business model transformation (make revenue from Coursera) Start → Evolve → Change biz model

Seth gives a clear framework: 🔹 When new tech is 50% as good, learn and understand it. 🔹 At 77%, build something—a division, product, or system—to adopt it. We’re at that 77% threshold with GenAI in many areas. Time to act? I think so.

I’ve been playing with GenAI tools—using IDEs, trying wrappers, and even building one myself: They’re not perfect. They don’t meet today’s standards of human experts. But waiting for GenAI to surpass human systems? That’s a dangerous game…

@tryOctarine @JokingRajat Reg #3: yes. I take notes from vidoes. Classify them with headings; then in some other note refer to that heading specifically and not a full note

@tryOctarine context: use only md files; use for long writing + annual & daily planning - love to see a qrtrly / mnthly / weekly view; ref: - get tasks from all pages into a single view; logseq does this well - should link to headings within note @JokingRajat

The essay was: "The role of software in taking man to the moon". They took help of their aunt (she writes research papers and holds multiple patents) in understanding the research process, taking notes, writing essay.

How do you encourage kids to explore, research, and grow their curiosity? I’d love to hear your ideas. 👇

I’ll sharing their progress and learnings soon. Who knows… they might even publish their essays on their personal website! 🌐 This isn’t just about the topic; it’s about teaching them the *process of learning*—a skill that lasts a lifetime.

The rules? They can use *any tools* they want—Google, ChatGPT, books, or expert advice. Speaking of experts, they called their aunt (an experienced researcher and patent writer) for tips. She shared gems about: ✅ Researching deeply ✅ Organizing notes ✅ Writing well

Every day, we read newspaper editorials & discuss world affairs—it’s our way of building critical thinking skills. But this week, I wanted to dive deeper. So, I gave them a challenge: Research, take notes, and write a strong essay in ONE sitting.

@DeepakNesss gpt-4o is inbuilt; openWebUI gives you the ui exactly like chatgpt (and in many cases output comparable to it) Downloading anything llm; will check it out

@DeepakNesss gpt-4o almost comparable results with chatgpt (minus images) loving it still learning different options (ex: I don't know how to run this in the background; how to store chats between restarts etc)

These obituaries aren't just words on paper. They're blueprints for living. They help me choose between a potent life & a palatable one. Thinking about death makes you live a life with purpose and intention. 🌱 Wish you all the best for 2025.

My son's obituary talks about a father who: • Led by example • Encouraged God-sized dreams • Taught thinking independently • Treated family with respect

My wife's obituary speaks of building a home with laughter and love, not gold and silver. Of being a pillar of strength, of celebrating life rather than mourning death. 💕
