I wonder what happens to programmers with zero product sense

I understand the appeal in trying to find the first plausible fortress in our retreat from writing code, but if you think it's "architecture", I have bad news for you. The models are also very good at that.

runescape was a big part of my life id spend 5-7 hours every single day after school grinding to be a pure mage, i dont even remember doing hw lol stopped at lvl 89 because runes got too expensive i had 2 accounts one was good at everything, but my overall level was too high, so id get clapped in the wilderness my pure mage though... amazing at pvp i worked for over a year to finally get enough gp to trade for a santa hat, one of the rarest items in the game it was fking insane back then, there wasn't an easy way to transfer items between your accounts you had to log into the same server on both, go to the exact same secluded spot, drop the item, log out, then log into your other account and wait for it to appear so obviously, i wanted my lvl 89 pure mage to flex the santa hat i found a secluded spot checked everywhere to make sure no one was around brought both accounts there dropped the santa hat logged out and suddenly... i couldn't log back in i don't remember if the server was full or my internet was bugging out, but i was panicking by the time i finally got back in the santa hat was gone and there was some random guy nearby SCREAMING that he just found a santa hat i begged him to give it back begged and begged he just ran away then disappeared and logged off one of the saddest days of my life 😭 i quit runescape forever after that but looking back, im weirdly grateful for all of it spending that much time on the game as a kid gave me a lens for so many things i see on the internet today different game different graphics different money but somehow, everything is still the same the markets, the flexing, the grinding, the scams, the rare items, the communities, the gambling, the friends runescape will probably always be a part of how i see the internet and most importantly... doubling money doubling money doubling money

I am afraid of this game because it is like an atom bomb for your life. When it first came out, I used to sell beta accounts on eBay for $400 a pop. I would spend most of the days of my life playing from afternoon until after midnight when I would collapse feeling terrible about myself. Then I would repeat the cycle the following day until I finally just stopped. I knew it was bad for me. They achieved something with this game that made it so delightful and so addictive. It was something special.

switched to the bare essentials. smart enough to be daily driver replacement. slow and jank enough to hate to use it. iphone screen time was < 30mins/day before this but want it closer to 0

You got rekt. We have the receipts. rekt.baibai.cx

If you are an engineer or scientist or doctor turning to business, the first thing I would suggest is "Please go on a lot of sales calls, face rejection if necessary, but persist". You will develop better communication skills as you realise that explaining your ideas is not so easy. You will develop respect for sales people. You may even become good at business! There is no such thing as a business without selling something. Sometimes the most obvious thing has to be said!

Applications at the edge of what's possible aren't served by general-purpose throughput. They need a chain tuned to their workload. G3 is the sequencer with: ~60,000 payment-style TPS ~10 ms receipt latency In this post by @RezMah, here is how we built it. conduit.xyz/blog/g3-sequence…
