- Not eating at least 4 hours prior to sleep.

- No bread, dates, sugar, sugar-substitute, honey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.. with the exception for 1 banana during breakfast.

- Eating the most carb-rich foods (the banana during breakfast, beans during lunch) first, then eating fewer carbs during subsequent meals.

The rip is in the demand and adoption of the technology and its subsequent effects on everything else. You can choose to learn how to navigate it, go faster with it, or sit on the sidelines, but trying to stop it won't make the demand, the technology or its adoption go away.

This thing is here to stay and , judging by all the meetups in my area, it's only getting bigger. Who knows, maybe companies will be forced to dramatically change to reduce bottlenecks. Maybe there will be a lot more smaller companies. I can't say for sure.

And, of course, like everyone else, I've used it instead spending a lot more time searching and sifting through things online. I used to think replacing the search bar with an AI prompt was gimmicky, but then the replies improved.

Those use-cases alone have been massive time savers for me.

Beyond that though, there's the probation period. If they can't do the job, they're supposed to be let go before they become permanent.

Trouble I see from most interviewers is a tendency of asking questions with a "right" answer. Those tend to be a lot easier to game. They then fallback on sorting applicants by pedigree - the old, "no one ever got fired for choosing IBM" method.

Then, they come back and rant about how PM's are trash, and Agile is trash, etc. etc.

BUT!

Last week, I had visitors and they let their Model Y Tesla (2023, I think) do the driving for their entire trip - from driving for many hours to visit me, to driving around all the different sights where I live, and, I'm assuming, driving back home. It was all full self-driving.

I got to sit in the passenger seat a few times. The thing drove beautifully. Parked without an issue, changed lanes, overtook other cars, etc... drove even better than the person at the wheel would have had the feature not been available!

Unless you already have demand lined up, I would solve the supply side of the problem first. People who either travel routinely or are planning to, or just a lot of people from a specific, large community in order to target your recruiting campaign.

I would also spend a lot of time figuring out the user journey for both the supply and demand side. See if you can reduce the work someone on the supply side has to do to sign up. You might have to run this like a modeling agency in the beginning until there is sufficient demand to force suppliers to do more work.

Constraining to one route (SFO -> Honolulu) is how DHL got started.

I do think that a lot can affect one's baseline though: health, drug dependency, stress from life, emotional baggage, etc.

And, I think that happiness can be achieved through practice (gratitude, letting go, etc..).

But yeah, that baseline - life gives some people a below neutral baseline.
