I'm not sure why anyone expects this conversation to be constructive at this point
People who are cheering for LLM coding because they hate actually coding themselves are cheering for programmers to lose their livelihoods
I am not going to be polite and constructive to people who don't care if my livelihood is destroyed by their new tools. Why should I? They are cheering for my ruin
I was excited as soon as I saw the domain name. Even after a few months, this article[1] is still at the top of my mind. You have a certain way of writing.
I remember being surprised at first because I thought it would feel like a wall of text. But it was such a good read and I felt I gained so much.
I was put off by the domain by bias against something that sounds like a company blog. Especially a "YouTube something".
You may get more milage from excellent writing on a yourname.com. This is a piece that sells you not this product, plus it feels more timeless. In 2050 someone my point to this post. Better if it were on your own name.
I think it would help if there were more information about it, along with demos, to clearly communicate what it's about. At the moment I'm still confused because I see Ghostty has gotten so much attention, and I'm not clear why it's special.
I am sold thanks to the author's authenticity, but if I had not seen this, I wouldn't know what I'm looking at. So I think it would be very helpful if there were more info on the landing page.
If you didn't know about it already, I think that you could use it to tweak the Nuenki landing page, and you'll possibly have some aha moment that'll help in marketing down the line.
I forgot to add this one to my list, but it's exactly what I've been trying for the past few days, after I was reminded of it after hearing John Carmack, in a podcast, talk about learning things deeply.
This is one of the reasons I'm dissatisfied with myself. My greatest successes have been when I applied full attention to details out of frustration, which have been rare. I genuinely believe that my life would drastically improve if I'd stop rushing from one thing to another.
I don’t buy it from Musk, most likely won’t buy it from Carmack either, but I would love to give the podcast a try. Do you happen to remember which one was it?
2. I have written technical blogs and it is very rewarding when you see your article ranking at the top of Google, and people sharing it because it is genuinely useful.
I may have some advice here.
If you've never had a blog, you'll be surprised how easily you can rank in search engines and get visitors. Technical blogs that haven't been tainted by monetization aren't as many as you'd think. You probably see many of them here on HN, but in Google most websites fight to stay on top for major keywords to make money.
Furthermore, many experts don't write. You'll be amazed when you start seeing impressions in Google Search Console (their dashboard for search activity).
I highly recommend:
- Setup the site quick, in an imperfect state
- Post a few articles in an imperfect state
- Install Google Search Console
Then follow the data in Search Console - you'll see which keywords and pages are getting traction. From there, keep posting what you think would be helpful for people like you.
Mental endurance and discipline to better handle tasks that require sustained focus, especially those I instinctively resist or dismiss, whether because I dislike them or I downplay their importance. Examples are thinking through unfamiliar and difficult problems or reading dense documentation and contracts.
I also want to improve my prioritization skills to better judge which challenging tasks truly deserve my time and mental energy, and which ones don't.
Responding to the original comment with 'get lost' and 'we don't want you either' is not constructive in my opinion.
