free-nachos··on Random musings: 80s hardware, cyberdecks
Cyberdecks were featured prominently in video game Cyberpunk 2077 - the 2020 and 2023 spikes may have been caused by that game, and the subsequent expansion.
free-nachos··on There's yet another study about how bad AI is for our brains
I have, absolutely, as I'm trying to learn the fully agentic style of development to keep up with the pace that a couple colleagues are setting.

Im that style of working, spinning up multiple parallel workstreams appears to be the highest output strategy. So now I'm practicing rapid context switching, jumping from virtual desktop to virtual desktop, and even adding monitors to my desk to keep tabs on more workstreams.

In my home life, I've observed myself wandering off mid-task (reminder to self: the eggs on the stove DO NOT have the ability to wait idly for your next input), or pausing to make an unrelated voice note mid-conversation with a loved one (which does NOT feel good to anyone involved...)

I suspect I can get better as I learn more skills and practice. For example, there are people great at both the hours long tournament chess format, and the 2 minute bullet chess format.

But the fact that so I quickly went from being top tier at long term focus to not very good at focusing on anything gives me real pause...

free-nachos··on Ask HN: How are you acquiring your first hundred users?
Not only is it making your first impression, it's also your best opportunity to get candid feedback, observe what positioning resonates with your audience, and create your playbook for working through objections.

You mentioned time is your biggest constraint, and that you need to work on the product.

Is there a milestone where your product will have enough features that you can shift to spending half your time acquiring customers?

I'm hopeful it will. In practice I've seen the malicious compliance angle more often e.g. 'send us photocopies of id / official documents to prove you're a CA resident and then we'll remove your data.'

Didn't realize the history to this one! I bought the NES cartridge cheap from a video rental store that was making room for 16 bit titles. IIRC I grabbed it because it was one of a smaller number of games that supported 4 players and I had the 4 player adapter. Always dreamed of having a couple friends who were strong at the game - excited to try online!

Feedback - consider removing the 50 euro option from the pricing page because the offer seems to have expired a week and a half ago. I clicked on the 50 button then saw 60 on the pricing page, had to hit back and try to figure out why. It's causing a lot of friction.
