How can I get in touch with you? This same thing happened to my sister and now she is a doctor at Harvard and helps a lot of people in the disabled community. She healed her brain and can share how she did it. She was older than you and had less neuroplacity.


That sounds great. I couldn't find an email in your profile - could you email me?

I realise it's a bit weird using alts for everything. I keep things to myself IRL and don't want people using me opening up online against me.

Thank you.


Masterful copy, a feature many leave as an after thought but one of the slickest levers for user delight. Bravo 1 pixel moon man


In customer focused companies and at most places I've worked, many team members are indispensable product thinkers (from the CEO to the most junior developer). Simply put, you don't need to be a product manager to be a great product asset or excel at any one of these traits listed in the article. On high functioning teams, product is democratized and many contribute to the roadmap. When product is described as a role, such as product manager, the individual is responsible for bringing teams together through a collaborative process and rallying the team to go all in on a initiative/roadmap to achieve a goal for the business or company. There's other traits involved such as collaboration, practical management of deliverables and timelines, people management, and relentless focus on quality. Last but not least, the article's focus on intuition as a trait didn't seem like the right fit, since many ppl think of intuition as inherent and not learned. Intuition is a combination of experience and continued learning. Anyone who talks with customer, studies an industry, or listens deeply to their coworkers is building intuition around the problem. In practice, I think by saying Data and Intuition, the author intended something more akin to pattern recognition - which again is something available to all of us!


Helping Medium creators make a living while keeping the simple / ad-free experience of Medium is an interesting arbitrage opportunity until you prove it out and Medium integrates it into their core product offering.


I think it's more likely that the product gets acquired than Medium builds it out themselves.


My life so far. Early 20s: I can do anything and should start a company. Late 20s: imposter syndrome. 30s: wow, there is still so much I don't know. 40s: life is over and haven't accomplished anything, 50s: post menopause and confident as hell (now is time to start a company). Haven't gotten past 32 yet(lol) but many women are most confident in their mid 50s+ according to the science around hormones and how they impact our mood and self perception. I think there's a lot I can learn personally from a fast and loose 28 year old male perception against my own perception. Probably the combo of the two is the perfect human.


Kudos to the creator for building this tool. Personally, I wouldn't trust it. Men and women use drastically different amounts of toilet paper.


Then it's up to you to average the number sheets and toilet visits, appropriately weighted to get the correct results!


the calculator doesn't handle that because how _many_ times you go is not a valuable metric. The question is more how many times do you _poo_ in a day. Because pee uses little to none (men) or little to some (women).

then there's the question of how many sheets you use, on average per poo. Some folks use way more than others.

this is a pretty useless calculator.


Did you tried the advanced options?


Live example of male bias in the tech industry! :)

Diversity is a desirable thing sometimes.

That was totally my thinking as well. It's fine for me, but if my girlfriend is staying with me I should expect a 4X increase in need.
