I’m guessing social studies graduate. Which reminds me of this hilarious incident:

They definitely set up some false dichotomies (I can do big words as well!).

Slightly daunted by the scale of work ahead of me, and luxuriating in the current stability of my products, I’m currently procrastinating by tidying my office. But I’m sure I will get my mojo back soon.
I think we all have periods of low productivity. But long term productivity is more important.

Do people actually find new software on Product Hunt? I am both a gamer and a crimper and don’t use the site myself. I find new games on Steam or Discord, and new software here or on reddit.
Going by this article, Product Hunt appears to be a site for people to generate hype for investors. So any analysis based on it isn’t about usage but promotion to financiers. It’s about as insightful about usage as articles in The Financial Times are about games, i.e. not.
