Just adding to this. Consider that if you retire to golfing, will you be golfing in the same golf field 5 days a week for 20 years?

Also. Prioritize taking care of yourself(the caretaker).

Make sense to me. I can see how LLMs can help you make better systems. I don't have a christal ball but I can see how focusing on speed (or more precisely volume) can have a lot of unintended consequences.

Over the years, I too have developed ad hoc tools to make my job easier or faster. I don't hide them, but I do not share any since the tools are not really ready for that. I don't have them properly documented, other people would not understand how to use them, why and all the quirks. I suppose a lot of developers do the same.

My take is that you should judge historical people based on the choices they had.

Furthermore, multi-millionares have at least 2 million so they are significantly less than 3%.

The problem with multi-millionares is not that they collect. It is that they do not pay as much as they could/should.

Looking at his life. This is as complete human experience as we can hope to get.

Nice work please continue with this effort.

On the car comparative. I have a 2010 RAV4, and my wife drives a 2023 RAV4. I love mine, but even if it was perfectly kept. It is smaller, lighter, it has less equipment, I have seen older RAV4s and they look even smaller than mine. What is is the opposite of shrinkflation ? I don't know if it is social pressures or what is is causing us to expect things that are bigger and more expensive.


Appreciate the feedback, will definitely be making some updates based on the comments I got here. There is social pressure definitely when it comes to buying decisions, I think over the past 15 years, the world has gone crazy in terms of car sizes where most people wanna drive only SUVs

Swolvolution. Expecting things to be bigger but in strange places and not necessarily for the better

"Hedonic treadmill"?

I'm annoyed that in the UK the prevalence of "SUV crossovers" has suddenly jacked all cars up by 10-20cm, especially at the bonnet line. Selection pressure (bollards are the natural predator) is at least keeping the width slightly under control.


The definition I give to my children: It is the ability to make good decisions.

That is a very reasonable definition, but having grown up playing Dungeons & Dragons, making good decisions strikes me as Wisdom, not Intelligence.

Very "intelligent" people can use those smarts to justify or rationalize all kinds of crazy stupid decisions.
