mustafabisic1··on How to get the most out of next year (2016)
What works for me is this system - https://www.heroic.us/
mustafabisic1··on Your 100%* reliable guide to the future of crypto in 2023
Sounds reasonable, looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
mustafabisic1··on How to get the most out of next year (2016)
Not my cup of tea, but I appreciate the effort and feel it'll help a lot of people immensely.

On the side note, I've noticed that the best and most actionable productivity articles made their way here in January every year.

Makes me that much more excited about January.

mustafabisic1··on The 5% Rule
I feel like this guy is my therapist and just told me a fantastic insight that's perfect for me at that moment.

As I was reading it, I came to the same conclusion as the writer -

You really have permission to free your mind of those people and just focus on taking care of the people who don't suck. Just expect it and move about your day.

That's freeing for me.

mustafabisic1··on The Blind Spot
Implications of this are huge. Another that comes to mind is how many businesses have been left in shambles after their owner had died.

There was a thriving coffee shop here in my neighbourhood and after the owner (42 y/o) had died of covid it's close to collapsing now.

We'll need much more to recover from this than we had hoped.

mustafabisic1··on Edward Snowden invited to promote a Ponzi Scheme and exposes founder instead (2021)
"But my advice to everyone on this call tonight is: Look up .."

Wow, so elegant.

mustafabisic1··on Hard truths I learned when I got laid off from my SWE job
Happy it worked out for you. I had a similar experience only my wife had just gotten pregnant with my second child.

That game me urgency like crazy and with a bit of luck I found my dream job in 3 months.

I agree with everything you've mentioned but the biggest +1 for me is that it's lonely. I'd add that all job searches are lonely in my experience.

mustafabisic1··on There is no ‘Next Twitter,’ and that’s OK
I agree it's ok, but I don't agree with the sentiment of the article that Twitter is disappearing.

It's anecdotal, but I feel that Twitter is on a big upswing.

I'm searching the internet every week for the best resources for remote working parents and lately I've found more and more best gems come from Twitter.

Btw check out my newsletter here if you're a remote working parent - https://thursdaydigest.com/

mustafabisic1··on Unmasking Meta's Bad News Strategy
I love the process of thinking behind this article. Even though it didn't tell us much, it gives strong clues.

It's how I'd like to analyze marketing data when a strict control vs live is not possible.

mustafabisic1··on My Workflow in 2023
I would 100% join the newsletter mentioned in the end of the article.

This can be an amazing tool for inspiration for my own newsletter for remote working parents.

I have so many sources of information and it takes me quite some time to gather my intel.

Then-again. If everybody would use the tool, there would be no need for my newsletter lol

mustafabisic1··on Living in an Airplane in the Woods for $370 a Month [video]
I wonder why we don't have some similar designs for homes and cabins
mustafabisic1··on Decoding the Secret Language of Photosynthesis
Nature is amazing. And the process in which we discover it is that much of a wonder as well.

Today I had a thought on why the hell is vitamin C so important to us and how it helps fight off diseases.

mustafabisic1··on Tearing Down the Rewind.ai App
Wow, this should get more attention here. Powerful tool.
mustafabisic1··on The antimicrobial resistance crisis needs action now
I bet all those antibiotics prescribed for covid didn't help as well. That was happening on a massive scale in my country
mustafabisic1··on General guidance when working as a cloud engineer
Some solid career advice in there as well.

I feel like this could used as one of those "How to 10x career" articles - and be better than all of them.

mustafabisic1··on I Disapprove of What You Say, but Will Defend Your Right to Say It (2015)
Wow this is a fascinating website and it will become my obsession in the coming weeks like chatGPT was for a moment there lol
mustafabisic1··on Ask HN: Has anyone successfully recovered photos from a broken Android phone?
Far from my expertise, but I had some luck with recovering some old photos from an Android which was factory reseted.

Used a common software.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge will pick it up and help you.

mustafabisic1··on AI chatbots are not a replacement for search engines
But they have the potential. We'll see if it breaks into public.

People at some point were even saying Tikto will replace search engines.

Both of which can still happen.

mustafabisic1··on Warming up your car before driving in cold weather can damage the engine (2016)
Now, if only we could get some winter in places where we're normally deep into winter by now :(

Bosnia and Herzegovina here

mustafabisic1··on 1k True Fans (2008)
Every time I've read this article it hit differently.

Reading 1 (2016): Oh man it'd be great to have 1k true fans. This guy makes it easy. Reading 2 (2019): Now I have some things in life and I should build, how hard could it be. You try and fail. Reading 3 (2022): You've gained even more experience and go for it hard. You realize that the guy had disclaimers across the article (like this: The truth is that cultivating a thousand true fans is time consuming, sometimes nerve racking, and not for everyone. )

Not sure what the 4th reading will bring, but if you're a remote working parent check out my work - https://thursdaydigest.com/

Not sure what the

It especially hits differently now that I'm a builder.

mustafabisic1··on Ask HN: Do you recall any book or course that made a topic finally click?
It's not a course nor a book but it was huge for me. I tried reading books, different patches, different ways to stop smoking. But in the end what made it click for me was a simple app

If you want to stop smoking check it and good luck. It was life-changing to me.

mustafabisic1··on A reality check for dream jobs?
Loved this report so much I'm putting it in my weekly newsletter for remote working parents - https://thursdaydigest.com/

Btw - who can help me understand how did they create this cool responsive design? https://imgur.com/a/OuEDNEq

mustafabisic1··on Tell HN: How doctors get up to speed and how to use it in your work
If you can forgive the shameless self promotion here's my weekly newsletter for remote-working parents where I write and share things like the post above - https://thursdaydigest.com/

And also check out open position and maybe we can become colleagues working in Okcoin <3 - https://www.okcoin.com/careers.html

mustafabisic1··on Exponential – Cryptoasset discovery and investment platform
Interesting, I'll try out the Assess my wallet feature.

P.S. If you’re a remote-working parent check out my weekly newsletter for remote-working parents https://thursdaydigest.com/

I know it’s a weird place to find a newsletter exactly for you. The transition is off, but I'm working on putting myself out there more ruthlessly. I guess it’s true what Seinfeld said, like when we can make our own people we just care less lol

mustafabisic1··on Remote work has been a boon for night owls
It seems this article pushes for more asynchronous communication and it seems to be the healthiest way.

Something todoist's CEO has been pushing for a long time (no affiliation other than I like his work) - https://twitter.com/amix3k

It does have a potential to be a night-mare for the middle managers tho. But I'm betting on human ingenuity to solve that as well.

mustafabisic1··on Why are there so few dead bugs on windshields these days?
I noticed that I didn't use "insect removal" mode on automatic car washes in like two years now. Even after long trips.

Gotta say it's a bit scary. Together with air temperature in Bosnia being 27 degrees celsius, definitely rings some bad alarms.

Totally a gut feeling, but those can be correct often.

mustafabisic1··on [dead]
I noticed a lot of things can get better in 6 weeks.

• I had some health issues lately and after 6 weeks of getting my habits under contol I gained back my health.

• In email marketing when you want to get back deliverability on gmail or hotmail it usually takes 6 weeks

• My newsletter for remote-working parents gained traction after 6 weeks

• Kids get their colic 6 weeks after they’re born usually

• And after 6 more it’s gone

Do you have any examples to back it up?

Why could this be or not?

mustafabisic1··on Ask HN: Anyone actually seeing wage increases in tech due to inflation?
My review will be in April. I feel it might happen then very easily. So far nothing
mustafabisic1··on Sims pioneer Will Wright is making a blockchain game, but is down on NFTs
Couldn't think of a better guy to do it to be honest
