every monday i face the same problem: what should i actually work on this week? chatgpt just tells me what i want to hear, so i tried something different - a standup meeting with ai versions of Jobs, Bezos, Naval, etc.
they called my "genius" marketing idea stupid. 20 minutes later i had the clearest direction i've had in months.
Thanks, I just wanted different philosophies on shipping code:
- If you're stuck on something hard, Peter would say "ship the hecky version tomorrow".
- Linus would want proper code review first.
- Carmack would rewrite your algorithm and find some clever way to do it with after components.
Basically covered the main approaches: ship fast and iterate.
- Peter Sahil optimizes for performance that's Carmack.
- Build for scale through process Linus.
- Elegant hardware solutions Woz
- the modern ML approach with Karpathy.
much better, Claude returns 1 answer with 1 perspective, my council returns 5. so if i have a problem i can run the council through it and move forward with whichever solution i think is best. sometimes its ship fast (levels / sahil) and sometimes its more detailed like torvald
i monologue in the morning and talk through whatever's top of mind. i process the transcript with an ai im building and its great at enabling me to solve my own problems.
Employers do not like me having it because it makes it harder to do work and some days are worse than others. Management just doesn't understand my mental illness so I am on disability because I cannot hold down a job.
Thank you not everyone is understanding. Less than half a percent of the population in the USA suffers from it so it isn't a priority for doctors to treat and cure. I am on psychiatric medication for it but it makes me drowsy.
