@alexhillman @aurooba interesting — we’re moving ZipMessage (rebrand coming soon) into this space with a specific focus on coaches.

Your 3rd bullet rings true in all my research: Coaches & students rarely use a linear path. Content is more like a Library to pull from with a personalized mix of template content and async messaging/coaching.

We’ve started rolling this out, more coming this quarter :)

@alexhillman what are the biggest gaps for you?

I don’t catch every episode of every bootstrapper podcast, but the turn-of-the-year episodes are always most interesting to me (quick recap, current goals).

Good re-entry point for those who’ve skipped some episodes.

You should make a point of posting one of those.

@rezzz no, alternate days

I've noticed about 3 instances in the past few days where chatGPT provided incorrect or misdescribing code examples.

Luckily, the mistakes were easy to spot and when I point them out, chatGPT recognized the mistake.

Handle with care.

In late 2022 I landed on my favorite exercise mix I’ve found yet. My goal is stick with this through 2023:

All year:
- 3x/week: 5x5 strength training
- 3x/week: Walking or rucking
- 1x/week: Tennis
- Daily: Stretching/Yoga

Winter:
- Snowboarding

Summer/Fall:
- Cycling

Mind blown. Day 2 of using chatGPT in my workflow.

It's like an on-demand coding coach that knows exactly what I'm asking, even if I'm vague and provide little context.

Actually much better than a human code coach.

My skills have advanced more in 48 hours than in 6 months.

The new chat history in chatGPT is awesome. It even automatically names your chats for easy reference.

Good night sleep.
Great morning workout.
Brewed the perfect cup of coffee.
Sat down at my desk.
Threw on my work playlist.
First sip. Yum.
Ready for a productive Friday.

Spilled my mug all over my desk and floor.

@kanejamison A little bit of that today, but not super complex yet. Already amazed at the time savings.

Also thinking I'll use it to knock out a lot of tests writing based on my code.

I can confidently say that chatGPT eliminated several hours of googling and trial and error in my coding work today.

I can easily see myself just keeping a chatGPT window open alongside Sublime and Terminal in my daily workflow.

It's a tool.

@rchase haha totally. that one's a head scratcher.

I have a terrible habit of typing "messsage" and somehow being blind to the 3 "s" typo.

Kinda a problem, given the name of my company.

@rchase ya. If I'm on Mastodon official app and view 4 new notifications, app no longer shows that I have new notifications.

Then on web, it still shows 4 "unseen" notifications.

no biggy. Just noticing all these weird product quirks in mastodon land.

Brian Caselbriancasel

@rchase I noticed that notifications read status doesn't sync between web and the official app. Maybe all apps don't sync?

Is there a mastodon app that can schedule posts? Or is that not possible on mastodon at all?

@brendanhufford 💯. I think early on, “time boxing” goals is helpful for motivation and momentum.

But I’m basically a workaholic now so I need to correct the other way. Slow down!
