Can someone explain the difference between this and VSCode agent chat? Except the fact that it's a separate app?

Depends on the company. In most companies, you MUST be an asshole to get promoted.

Popularity with the persons in charge of promotions surely helps... But it doesn't mean you need to be popular with other people.

> Businesses don’t do promotions at senior levels because you “deserve” it. They promote those who have the highest potential to deliver outsized impact and value.

What I've seen more of is: people get promoted because they already do the job at the higher level, or close to it

Do you cook the oats beforehand?
EZ-E · 11 days ago
I don’t, they’re rolled oats and blended they are easy to drink as long as there is enough liquid

Can you be more specific with how you make it. Thanks!
EZ-E · 11 days ago
• half of 1 cup rolled oats • 1 banana • 1 scoop soy or pea protein powder • 2 tablespoon flax seeds (make sure to buy whole and grind them, in my case I don't need to grind them separately the blender chops them while doing the shake) • 2 tablespoon peanut butter (100% peanut no added oil) • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil • unsweetened oat or soy milk • I add some water if it's too thick

I blend the oats and the flax seeds first, then add the rest, blend again for 10 secs, boom - easy. You may want to adjust peanut butter quantity depending on whether you’re trying to lose, maintain or gain weight. 2 tbsp is me trying to maintain weight as I easily lose weight.

> Months ago I replaced my daily dinner with a mix

Any particular reason for changing your dinner and not BF or lunch?

EZ-E · 11 days ago
Breakfast I don’t eat. Lunch I typically eat outside, dinner after work I’m lazy to cook so replacing by a shake was perfect! 15 min all in for preparation, consumption, cleaning.

> peanut butter

While peanut butter does contain some useful nutrients, there are much better choices out there in case someone would like to further improve/optimize their nutrition. Many topics in nutrition can be quite debatable but IMHO most other nuts outperform peanuts (which aren't even nuts) in many ways. Furthermore I'd say peanuts aren't that useful as a protein source in this situation given that protein powder is already being added.

I recently discovered the world of nut butters, and usually choose them over whole nuts due to easier digestibility and nutrient availability. Unless I'm eating macadamia nuts which already feel quite easy on the gut.

I added it for weight maintenance/gain (I'm close to underweight)

I fixed my high cholesterol problem with oats... Months ago I replaced my daily dinner with a mix of oats + banana + protein powder + 1 tbsp olive oil + peanut butter + flaxseeds + oat milk - all mixed in a blender. My bad cholesterol (LDL levels) tanked from 160 mg/dL to 91 mg/dL. My daily dinners before that were not even that unhealthy. Dropping sat fat intake had nowhere near that much effect for me. For me and I assume for many others, lack soluble fibers are the root cause of high LDL levels.

Do not mistake economic indicators such as GDP or "growth" for meaningful measures of economic health.
EZ-E · a month ago
What is a good measure of meaningful growth? Genuinely asking. I imagine all measures have pros and cons.

He has opinions on how the company should be managed, what the product should be, and how to interact with the community... but he abdicated all the responsibility, didn't provide leadership, and is now complaining it didn't turn out how he wanted it. This is personality problem and business books won't help.

This was my thought too. The author seems very passionate, but I imagine he could be hard to work with.
