Since the day I understood what this guy is talking about in this video, I have been enjoying my life.
I don’t stress about anything, win or lose, still the same mood.
Nothing on earth matters. Just watch and process it in your brain.

The age of agents is going to be amazing for most programmers, but it'll be hard times for the cantankerous ones.
Specialized knowledge and rare skills will no longer offer immunity for those who are a pain to work with.
Best learn some basic people skills.

I regret to inform you that nobody cares. When you’re winning, nobody cares. When you’re losing, nobody cares. Stop fearing the judgement of people who were never even thinking about you. Nobody is thinking about you. They’re too busy thinking about themselves. Go do the thing.

This paragraph by Kobe Bryant hits hard:
“Everyone wants to be a beast. Everyone wants to be the best. But very few people are willing to do what it actually takes. Because what it takes is boring. It is waking up at 4:00 AM. It is shooting the same shot a thousand times. It is watching the film when you are tired. People fall in love with the result, but they hate the process. You have to fall in love with the boredom. You have to fall in love with the repetition. If you can find joy in the mundane work that no one else sees, the lights will eventually shine on you.”

it might sound woo woo, but radiating positive energy is the closest thing to magic i've found. tip generously, compliment strangers, share your knowledge with no expectation of anything in return. give like you have more than enough, and eventually you’ll find that you do.

This broadly matches my experience.

When @jensenhuang asks for a somersault, you deliver. 🦆
See how AI agents on NVIDIA RTX Spark help bring @huggingface's Microduck from simulation to the real world.

Since we started offering employee profit sharing in 2020, we've paid out over $24,000,000 to employees.
We've never offered stock options. Not a fan of future maybe money. We pay real cash to real people so they can spend it on real things right now.
When you choose to be our customer, you're making this possible. You're supporting an independent, fully customer-funded business that shares its success with the people who make it happen.
You don't need investors, stock options, or complicated cap tables to share your success. You can just share the profits. It really can be that simple.
If you're curious, this is how the profit sharing plan works:

Whoa- this is the most fantastic pedagogical tool I’ve encountered in as long as I can remember (which is a helluva high bar, considering who I live with).
I’m so excited to have my 6yo play with it! And you all should too.

See, here's the thing.
I don't have any major problems with Apple products. Quality may have slipped on the software side recently, but ok, things happen. New guy in charge soon, maybe that turns around. And their hardware is undeniably great. I still enjoy using Apple products, and I'm cheering Apple on. The industry benefits when Apple's at the top of their game.
But also... Omarchy is super interesting and super good. I try to be a curious person, and Omarchy presents an opportunity for me to stretch my curiousity, crack some habits, and try a novel different approach on for size. Linux!? I never thought. But here I am, and I'm here for it.
I mean this is what we ask our HEY and Basecamp customers to do. Try something new! Be open! Be curious! We don't make software like everyone else. Our products don't look or work like anyone else's. We have a very different point of view than the mainstream. And those open to shedding their perception of what they think they need, are always in for a treat when they walk through our doors.
I've essentially been following the Apple way for 40 (!) years. Maybe it's time for a break? Omarchy feels good for my brain! And I really like it! Getting more and more used to it every day. It's now my primary computer. The Macbook is sleeping, clamshell closed, under a pile of papers. The Dell XPS 16 w/ Omarchy is bright and alive. I'm writing this on it right now.
I try to live my life by a few simple principles. One of those is to Like More Things. I wish that for you too.
Getting you on board with Omarchy is the dark horse in this "year of the linux desktop" persusasion race.
You don't seem inherently interested in the technology itself. Design, esthetics, how it feels to use it, yes. But you're not the nerd of 37 signals, David is.
If YOU like using Omarchy, it's a big tell that this OS is just GOOD. Feels good to use. Helps you get work done. etc.
I'm sure there's other factors in there, but thats my read on it.
If Jason will use this thing, it's GOOD.
