About
I am working on building https://www.theproductivepanda.shop at the moment. Please visit the website and check some of the merchandise out and see if you are interested and would love to purchase some of them. We are planning to one day get them into boba and coffee stores and retail such as Costco and Target.

Text to voice (reader) for threads + ugc
While on a walk yesterday, I wanted to learn about the Spain/Portugal blackout. Hacker News had a great thread on the blackout. I used ElevenReader (amazing product by @ElevenLabs) to listen to the thread. Overall, it worked great, but:
The reader treated new comments as just new paragraphs. So I had no idea when the reader transitioned between comments/responses. Usernames of commenters were not mentioned.
Urls were read out fully. This is brutal.
It would be awesome to skip to next comment with a voice command.
Any product recommendations for this? Or maybe @ElevenLabs is already thinking about this?
How rough is the job market really now?
I noticed some software engineers are still getting $300,000 roles and many are just being kicked out of companies or not looked at when applying for their roles and working to get things done. How rough is the job market now for professional roles in some sense with the use of AI taking everything over or are the roles still there but just being turned into a manner where AI is being needed to stay competitive and in the roles at all? What is the future outlook really like?
Burnout - Who is feeling it too?
I have been building, learning, searching, investing for the last 6 years, back to back, non-stop. I feel I have officially reached burnout. One week I am super into building and I code new things like crazy. And the next I just want to chill and go surfing lol. Do you go through a similar phase? How do you deal with the constant change of emotions?
