Everyone is very worried and I get it, but genuinely. But...what do you mean I design a website and then I just build it myself?!! Without knowing code.
This to me has opened a whole new world of possibilities..
Hard decisions at the start of the week. A few years ago, the hard thing for me was "to start". Today, it is "to stop". What makes you stop? (besides bankruptcy and running your funds... hh)
What amount of time is needed to know if it makes sense to try to run that business? *God, give me a sign.
Yesterday, I saw this report: Meta employees consumed 73.7 trillion AI tokens in a single month. This costs roughly $221 million a month and around $2.65 billion a year. That s the salary of about 9,000 engineers.
In addition, the consumption of tokens (energy and electricity related to it) also has its limits.
Many people are starting to boycott AI. Today I read in a private message from a company profile: "Was about to sign up and noticed you use AI images, so decided not to"
I don t doubt that AI makes our lives easier and creates opportunities in many ways.
But don t you notice the fact that at a certain point it becomes unsustainable and disadvantageous?...
I recently installed @Augment Code based on an ad somewhere, and I'm super impressed, but haven't heard a peep about it in most channels. But it got me wondering what else I'm missing. This is a crowded field with a few frontrunners and a lot of more esoteric newcomers, but I want to know about the ones that blow your mind but hardly get any coverage.
In other words, what's that one topic that you would really like to understand more about, but can't find anything that covers it in depth? Think team collaboration, time-off management, workplace cultures... literally anything you're interested in. I'm trying to understand what people want to read but can't find, rather than add to the same beaten topics while writing for Pause. Thanks in advance for the help
In the AI era, it is no longer so difficult to finance things from your own resources bootstrapped (except for promotion or hardware-intensive solutions).
I have always saved money and tried to do things myself (what I didn't know, I learned to do to save on financial costs).
I used to work 12-hour days. Wake up, open laptop, close laptop, sleep. I thought that was what it took.
Then I burned out. Badly. Couldn't look at my product for two weeks. Felt guilty the whole time.
When I came back, I set a rule: 6 hours a day max. No exceptions. I was sure I'd fall behind. I was sure everything would fall apart.
Nothing fell apart. Actually, I got more done in 6 focused hours than I ever did in 12 scattered ones. I stopped pretending to work. Stopped refreshing things. Stopped doing tasks that felt productive but weren't.
