If you have a problem to solve and the grit to execute/endure, go the startup route. Do not do this if you’re content to shoot an arrow into a wall and paint a target around it. You can do that at Google.

Launch it, but don’t tell anyone else about it. Ever.

Email + Excel just isn’t efficient if you’ve outgrown a flat-file system and most paper-based processes. That being said, I get your frustration 100%.

The solution: build or befriend a relational database developer that will create a bespoke solution of your dreams. The more difficult part is getting c-level buy in and wading through whatever crap middle management believes to be the flavor of the month.

People. They are the most meaningful part of life and yet, almost always, the most frustrating.

I mean truly exercising freedom - which is the ability to govern oneself. All we can really control is ourselves. Sure, one could be impulsive/reflexive and even reactive, so long as it doesn’t impinge on anyone else’s freedom to govern themselves.

Basecamp my friend. There are others, but Basecamp is probably the most well known.

Does the product add value and work as intended? Cool. Most products designed by committee don’t.

No. The only social duty one has is to govern oneself and cause no harm. All else is nuance.

Productivity assessment isn’t for people, it’s for things. Devs are people, as such:

1. Do they know what they are doing?

2. Does it work?

Simple enough.

Unplug and get outside, get some air, do something real. Pick up a non-tech hobby. It will all help.

Twitter is a time sink at best, and behavior modification at worst.

Not having a Twitter account has added tremendous value to my life.

Stay away from social media and all of the other bullshit distractions in the world. Meditate and work on focusing and concentration. Like others have said, read and write a lot. Put on some ambient chill tunes and get in the zone. Steer clear of chemicals - they don’t help.

Uniquely and by blowing up the ATS bots. Generalists aren’t favored by non-human companies. Don’t waste your time with them. Find your fit and alignment with other individuals. They are out there. Good luck!

Any program/seminar/book that sells you success without factoring in luck...which is pretty much all of them.

Reading, experiencing life, balance between mental and physical activities, creative self-expression, trying to view the world from a perspective other than my own.

Good explanation. Thank you. You might enjoy this:

It doesn’t get really interesting until The SaaS Pricing Report.

Now you’re cooking! Conifer looks interesting and the user-provided DB is as well. Both seem like valid ways to potentially provide a greater piece of mind to the SaaS user.

Do you think that most SaaS co.’s wall in the ecosystem from a business standpoint (i.e., price increases) or is it merely a consideration of efficiency?
