I felt like that until I got to around $2.5 million liquid net worth. Now I still like money, but each additional dollar is starting to show diminishing marginal utility. Though of course I'm still trying to grow my net worth, it's no longer the main focus of my life, especially now that I'm "retired" from my main career at least. I split my time between gaming, running, reading, socializing and working on my trading bot (got rich the old fashioned way of saving my salary, the bot is for fun and to grow hopefully faster than SPX with better Sharpe ratio, so far so good).

I think while you don't have "FU money" it's important for money to be the main focus of your life. You don't have freedom if you don't have a lot of money and you can't be 100% happy without freedom, at least in my experience, though I know opinions vary here.

at least he figured out that working in tech sucks and he didn't want to do it anymore instead of aiming to become a Senior Architect or a director so he could get more RSUs and buy more maseratis and get more teams reporting into him and more more more MORE

I’ve been thinking about an alternative to tailwind but I have no idea how to implement it.

I think what would be even more powerful is you configure all the classes with some kind of regexp. They need to be unique. You could provide a function as well that returns the correct css for any given captured units in the class name so eg. "mb-4em" you have template "mb-(\\d+)em" declared. The tool recognizes it and either just puts the number there, uses a mapping (4 becomes 16), or calls a function to return the resulting css properties.

What I like about it is you could just as well create more advanced utilities and the parser never generates any classes in advance. It would need some kind of watcher though to detect any new class aded to templates that match the definition file.

Then there would be no need to purge anything. Kind of a vague concept I’ll admit, but for me starting with a figma or sketch where designer typically does not folow a consistent guideline, it means I can just start writing templates and keep declaring utilities as I go because in the real world you bet that happens.

Just wait until these people hear about a great new framework I just made that allows you to write css just by adding new "style" attributes without having to deal with separate css files at all.

I like this recent criticism of Paul Graham: https://ideolalia.com/essays/thought-leaders-and-chicken-sexers.html.

tl; dr posted:

But Graham’s analysis of brevity, and indeed of all language design, was fundamentally unserious. He wasn’t interested in a rigorous definition of brevity, because the ultimate measure of a language’s quality was still his hacker’s radar.

[...]

Michael Polanyi coined the term “tacit knowledge” to describe something we only understand as part of something else. When we speak, for instance, we don’t focus on the sounds we’re making, we focus on our words. We understand how to speak, but would struggle to explain it. Tacit knowledge comprises the vast majority of what we know; we rely on it constantly.

[...]

This is the essence of modern “thought leadership”, and it’s served Graham well. His essays on language design, as well as a few on startups, brought in the first entrepreneurs to his fledgling VC fund. People applied to YCombinator because they wanted Graham to apply his intuition to their problems.

[...]

This is all to say that Paul Graham is an effective marketer and practitioner, but a profoundly unserious public intellectual. His attempts to grapple with the major issues of the present, especially as they intersect with his personal legacy, are so mired in intuition and incuriosity that they’re at best a distraction, and worst a real obstacle to understanding our paths forward.

By "unable to perform" - OPs being unable to get an erection, which is very commonly difficult while doing MDMA - at least until before the come down. Abstain for 3-5+ days, the longer the easier to get an erection; it's still difficult to impossible to orgasm until after the come down as well.
