Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll check it out!

I don’t practice meditation so I couldn’t tell you. I do find that when I do it, there are two regimes.

In the first regime the time goes somewhat quickly and it isn’t as difficult. I call this the zoning out regime. There usually hits a sudden point where zoning out is no longer quite as easy. This is probably the meditative regime where I have to be more mindful about keeping my mind blank.

I set a timer just to train my will, but I don’t prioritize spending a ton of time in that second regime. Just anecdotally, once I’m past the zoning out regime my focus is usually back.


There’s a lot of research on restorative environments (usually nature/outside)being good for focus. I definitely try to spend as much time outside as I can, but for some reason the wall works better for that 5-10 minutes. Being outside is much more enjoyable though haha

I remember first hearing about this from the book Deep Work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_restoration_theory

Interesting. I hadn't heard of that directly, but I've never found it to be true. I've found momentum and continuation to be more useful than rest or relaxation when it comes to tackling big things.

Cool idea not something I need. But based on the site design i probably wouldn’t try it. The site looks pretty dated/rough. You can do simple but use modern fonts and styling

Is this actually true? It's still listed on the site although some other sources I've seen seem to imply this.

Maybe this is legit or maybe this is just a psy-op to keep the hype train chugging


How beefy does the server have to be?


Yea I was on the doom spiral thinking vibe coding/agentic engineering is the future. I didn’t love my results. I’m back to hand coding things and my quality of life is so much better.


Yeah. Sometimes we have to finish ourselves. The vibe gets you started, but it rarely gets you all the way there.
