I am really amazed by the frequency and the quality of your output.

Would you have an article on your routines, how you structure your day / work? Essentially, what enables your consistency, and quality articles?


> It’s also clear that kids whose parents restrict phone use seem to have superpowers compared to those that don’t.

Love this phrase. What might happen is that the next generation, upon seeing this opportunity, will do the opposite of their elders and highly value focus, and more readily dismiss quick gains.


Good catch, thank you! Fixed it now :)


If my word is enough, this article was actually written by me. Although it would be quite ironic if it was written entirely by GPT, with no revisions whatsoever :)




Meetup suffers from a similar issue, where one cannot perform bulk changes to all the subscribed groups, which becomes unwieldy when one has over 100 subscribed groups.

Apart from this, it happened just a few months ago that these settings suddenly stopped working, so I received several non-solicited emails from notifications that should have been disabled.

Issues like this could have a significant negative impact in user experience and retention, in my opinion


> Christopher Null has a name that is notorious for breaking software code - airlines, banks, every bug caused by a programmer who didn’t know a type from their elbow has hit him.

This one made chuckle, and TIL that Null is a real life surname.


One more reference: HackerNews Daily, which I've published a couple of days ago:

- Web page: https://lopespm.github.io/hackernews-daily

- GitHub repository: https://github.com/lopespm/hackernews-daily

- Blog article about its implementation: https://lopespm.github.io/2020/12/25/hackernews-daily.html


The (best) stories are fetched via the Hacker News API:

- API call documentation: https://github.com/HackerNews/API#new-top-and-best-stories

- Code pointer: https://github.com/lopespm/hackernews-daily/blob/main/hnsour...

- This is equivalent to https://news.ycombinator.com/best

On a given new day, stories that appear in previous days are filtered out. The top most stories are prioritized


So it is basically a different UI for /best ?


Apart from the different view you mentioned (added screenshot and top comments), I believe the other more subtle difference/advantage is that it picks up the most relevant stories on any given day, and filters out the others from previous days.

My experience around this is that when I check the latest "daily", I know from which day I can start reading, and all the stories starting from there will be new to me. Otherwise, checking the "best" stories, say, every day, I would have the added effort of filtering out the ones I've already seen.
