Why do we always choose the wrong people? Alain de Botton dismantles the myths of Romanticism and the "soulmate" trap. This talk offers a realistic, psychologically mature guide to love, teaching you how to replace impossible expectations with "strategic pessimism" to build a lasting relationship.
if you're excited about some kind of work that's not considered prestigious and you can explain what everyone else is overlooking about it, then this is not merely a kind of work that's ok to do, but one to seek out.
Are you frustrated that the world wants you to pick one thing, because you want to do them all?
The problem is thinking short term — assuming that if you don’t do all the things now, they won’t happen.
The solution is to think long term. Do just one thing for a few years, then another for a few years, then another.
不太同意这个观点,一件事做几年,还是太长了,尤其是当别人都在做「看起来很有前途」的事情的时候,会顶不住诱惑的。可以结合 Tiny Experiments 书中提到的方法:以好奇心为驱动,通过设定有明确行动和时限的承诺(微小实验),将不确定性转化为探索的机会。再根据实验结果选择「坚持」(Persist)、「暂停」(Pause)或者 「调整」(Pivot)。
这里也涉及到「尝试」的技巧,简单来说,要拿出一个 "MVP" 作为离场证明。尝试的艺术,就是「带着痛感的产出」。
这篇短文以一个引人入胜的个人经历,巧妙地阐述了一个深刻的道理:有时,过度的努力和压力并不能带来显著的额外收益,反而可能牺牲了体验和可持续性。作者通过自行车骑行的例子,生动地对比了“全力以赴”与“轻松应对”两种状态下的结果,并发现两者在效率上差异微小,但在个人感受上却天壤之别。文章的亮点在于其反直觉的结论——“96%的结果可以通过轻松的方式获得”,这促使读者反思自己在工作和生活中的“努力”是否真的高效,以及是否被不必要的压力所累。它提醒我们,在追求目标时,或许可以尝试放松心态,以更从容的方式去实现,从而获得更好的过程体验和同样令人满意的结果。
Steve Pavlina 的“30天走向成功”提供了一个简单而强大的个人成长策略。通过将新习惯或改变视为一个为期30天的“试用期”,他巧妙地降低了人们对长期承诺的心理障碍。文章不仅阐述了这一方法的理论基础,更通过作者亲身实践的丰富案例,生动地展示了其在饮食、锻炼乃至生活习惯养成方面的有效性。这种“短期承诺,长期受益”的理念,为那些渴望改变却又畏惧开始的人们,提供了一条切实可行的路径。
这篇文章深入探讨了成为早起者的实用策略,挑战了传统的睡眠观念。作者通过个人经历,提出了一个结合了生物节律和固定作息的创新方法,即“困了才睡,定时起床”。这种方法不仅提高了睡眠效率,还带来了更高的生产力和幸福感。对于那些渴望改变睡眠习惯、提升生活质量的人来说,这篇文章提供了宝贵的见解和可操作的建议。

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

程序员这个职业正在经历一场「9级大地震」式的暴力重构。
曾经我们引以为傲的代码贡献正变得稀疏,取而代之的是一个全新的、庞大的抽象层:Agent、Prompt、Context、MCP、各种工具链。
我们需要在传统的工程思维之上,去构建一套全新的心智模型,去驾驭这些充满随机性、甚至不可解释的 AI 模型。

所以青春的遗憾又是什么?
在知乎看到的一个帖子,顺便把图片转成了文本

月事那天不小心漏了一点在裤子上,没有像其他男生那样从背后指指点点,而是悄悄脱下外套叫我系在腰间。这个人就是我同桌。平时的他……特别笋。特别特别笋。早上没吃饭,偷我的包子豆浆;偷偷吧,还把包子皮还给我;上课吃辣条,撕拉油溅我一身;偷偷把我买的可乐拧松,让汽跑掉;一吵架就拆我鞋带;埋头在胳膊上吹出“嘤嘤嘤”的声音,然后捏着鼻子故意说你放屁了好好臭啊;青春期脸上爱出油,他拿了个矿泉水瓶子给我让我装点回去炒菜;当年老师严禁上网打游戏,他每天中午都要偷偷跑去网玩他那个什么梦幻,跟我说有中午的那个时间 ,吃完饭之后去网吧正好可以把20个师门任务做完。用一个当下比较时尚的词来形容他的话,他就是一个“时间管理大师”……但就是这么一个人,在我真正尴尬的时刻,破天荒的没有借机笑话我,反而若无其事的帮我遮盖了过去。也就是那时,我停止了对他的讨厌,对他开始重新认识。态度客观之后,我发现他其实还是有些优点的。比如,会主动帮班里换桶装水;比如,路上看到垃圾会顺手捡起来扔掉;又比如,有什么新奇小玩意,会第一个拿到学校来跟我分享;又又又比如,每次吵架引来老师,无论什么原因,他都会马上说是他的错;又又又比如,每当我考得不错的时候,他会打心眼替我高兴,请我吃烧串,或者喝可乐;又又又比如,每次吃烤串都让我先点菜;又又又又比如,他在课桌里放了两件外套,因为我有时会觉得教室里空调太冷但是又记不住带厚衣服;……

想起了去年看的一本The Power of When !虽然书里对chronotypes的划分我觉得还是缺乏统计学基础的一种叙事包装,但是chronobiology的视角和模板很值得借鉴来自我观察,尤其对脱离了强外部限制(课程表、出勤打卡等)的自由工作者来说如何平衡bio-timing和social schedule感觉很有启发

第一次听说这本书,有空去看下。这里比较难的我觉得是自我观察,尤其是注意到身体的状态和内在诉求。我现在主要是从能量的角度出发,在能量高点(对我来说是早上)把重要的事情先做了。
我早起的诀窍还蛮简单的,晚上把窗帘拉开(纱帘拉上),让阳光把自己叫醒···

是的就是自我观察的思路 !这本书算是从生物学的视角引出一些观察时除了“感觉”以外更具体甚至可量化的指标,身体节律语言的翻译指南的感觉hhh
