Study the area and the various tribes in their natural habitat. Study the different forms of communication and reciprocity conducted by such people. M. Sahlins categorized Generalized, Balanced, and Negative reciprocity. How are these exchanges performed, and in what context do these activities occur? How do you optimize your goals while adequately meeting the implicit and explicit socio-cultural norms of the tribes you seek to form bonds with? Building a living example of your skills and an interactive history via projects imbued with the information gathered from your studies is an essential task before total immersion with these tribes.

You can't afford SF. Hard-earned eastern-european 10k will last about three weeks.

such a redditesque thing to say, you can easily do 2-3 months with that money within a non-hedonistic framework

I think you're going to need some things to show people, make some things, finish them as much as is reasonable.

yep, on it. I have 3 main projects I'll circle around (the product itself, presentations, talks on tangential topics)

What types of projects do you use cursor heavily for and what did you stop doing because of cursor, what did you start doing more of?
xucian · 16 days ago
everything. fullstack (django + svelte) at the moment

I stopped thinking very deeply about problems, idk if this is the right way to put it (like, now I just think of where to place my smartbulb and how to pair it with my phone, not how to manufacture it). I know this is not seen as good, but still the price-to-value is worth it, but instead I think of them more broadly. I can fly through the possibility space much faster. I do hope to try claude code, i.e. closer to the metal, just have to find the time to figure out the vscode integrations, what's the ".cursorrules" analogue (if any) etc.

I started consuming more content (reading, watching), replying emails, posting on x/hn/reddit while the it generates my code. I also have more motivation to wear the product-guy hat and get mentally closer to my future user
