The fastest surgeon I have ever known moved his hands slowly.
A two-time Olympic medalist rower coached me to slow down.
The most effective managers are often the ones who speak the least.

When I was starting my surgical training in 1997, I already knew of the biggest tour-de-force for a general surgeon.
It's a Whipple procedure, an extensive and difficult surgery typically performed for cancer of the pancreas.
Itβs a massive procedure which few surgeons perform.
It's a Whipple procedure, an extensive and difficult surgery typically performed for cancer of the pancreas.
Itβs a massive procedure which few surgeons perform.
The surgery is fraught with many areas where a mis-step can cause fatal bleeding.
For those that do this extensive surgery, it often takes 4 - 6 hours under ideal circumstances.
But one of our surgeons in my training program routinely performed this surgery in about 3 hours.

@hubermanlab 1/ You're poisoning your body when you drink alcohol.
Your liver metabolizes alcohol into acetaldehyde. It is a poison to your brain and body. It kills cells.
Being drunk is a poison-induced disruption.

@hubermanlab 2/ Alcohol damages your brain
You have a well-protected blood-brain barrier.
But alcohol can easily pass through it and directly damage your brain.
It gets where most damaging substances can't.

A one-time purchase is nice, in theory.
As a developer, you are getting all the money asap. As a customer, you pay once and use the app forever. The only problem is - it is not clear how long this "forever' will last.
Year or three, or a lifetime while the developer is alive.

Year or three, or a lifetime while the developer is alive.
Pricing for one-time purchases should be relatively high.
IMO, those should be 3+ years of App support and updates. That's quite a big responsibility to commit to working on the just-launched app for 3+ years.
So, the obvious choice for Habit App is a subscription model.

#ship30for30
Easy way - use VSCode with the Copilot plugin. I'm using VSCode when working on longer functions and business logic to have quick suggestions from Copilot. To compile projects or see previews, I just hit CMD+S in VSCode and switch back to Xcode.
It is possible to launch the iPhone simulator from VSCode, but I found switching back to Xcode comfortable and fast. Xcode feels handier to catch errors and debug code. If changes are made in Xcode, the VSCode editor updates them automatically.
