  And with regards to AI taking jobs - it obviously will become a serious problem in future. But being a doomer right now is like lying down in a parking lot waiting to get run over - you're surrendering to a pointless outcome while the rest of the world keeps moving.

Great sentiment. I've had a similar experience with LLMs and writing code - helpful when keeping the requests small, and a background in the area is essential for knowing what is and isn't total crap. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

Inspiring to see you take on a different career path and go for it, I feel i'm on a similar journey right now, thanks for taking the time to write it up.

I sent a request to the registrar, and they emailed with this response. They're claiming it wasn't their fault.

  Hello and thank you for your message.
  The domain name was already reinstated earlier today after the registrant finally responded to our notice and took appropriate action to resolve the issue

Sounds like someone's read Ghost Fleet http://www.forbes.com/sites/williampentland/2015/07/15/ghost...

The fact that they didn't include a quote or captioned photo from Michael Scott is a missed opportunity.

Sleep regularly. Slow down. Enjoy life.

Add some features to set budgets, track total expenditure and work out how much you've got left.

Wasn't this covered in an episode of Big Bang Theory? AKA the fount of relevant scientific knowledge..

I'm sorry but if you're on $130k at the age of 21, I really don't think you should worry about procrastination. If I was on anything near $130K at my age, I'd walk around with a grin on my face 24/7.

Go to the beach and enjoy your life.

I got the job I have now from meeting the CEO of the company on a train to London. He was sat next to me and saw me applying for a job at one of his competitors & politely asked me what I thought I was doing. After 40 minutes of me showing him my C.V, my university work and explaining why I really wanted my job in digital marketing, he offered me an interview for an internship.

Of course I had to impress him enough to get the internship and impress the company enough to work there full time now, but it was meeting the CEO that got me the opportunity in the first place. I thank that random moment of pure chance for making that connection.

Connections are great, but most of us don't have them from the get go. So I guess we have to make them.

I love this article though. Deffo something I'd do if I was trying to break into an industry or area where I know no one.

My dad once said to me: "There will always be someone better than you".

It really pissed me off for ages, because I was like, what's the point then? What's the point if I can't be the best at something? But then I realised that if someone's always going to be the best and beat you, you don't have to strive in life to be the best at something. It kills the ego for me, which is a big battle for a lot of us. Being good at it and enjoying the journey is enough. I try to be excellent at what I do, but It doesn't matter if I'm not the best. Even if I am, It's unlikely I always will be and that's fine. For most of us that are average, it's unlikely we're going to be the next "Big thing". But who cares.

On a side note, this article seemed kind of nothingy, I don't think I learnt anything new from it so i'm wondering why it's so high on HN?
