The comfort we get when offloading our cognitive load to LLMs is bad for us. Cognitive load should exist, and if we reduce it too much – if we stop thinking – we can actually unlearn how to think. Kids who always choose the easy route and copy their homework from other students eventually find […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)

I used to think clothes were mostly about being decent in public. But over time, I started noticing something different. When I wear a T-shirt, I work differently.When I wear running shoes, I walk differently.And when I put on a proper shirt, I feel that I think more clearly. … and to my surprise, there’s […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
I’ve asked myself this question and the answer is – it all boils down to Latin. Two words that seem to belong in completely different universes actually share the same origin. So, here’s the deal. Both “hostel” and “hostile” trace back to the Latin word “hospes,” which means “guest” or “host.” Now, you’d think a […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
Product/Market Fit (PMF) and Minimum Viable Product (MVP) – two terms that often confuse. It’s easy to mix them up. Think of the MVP as the “test run.” It’s the first basic version of your product that lets you see if people even want what you’re offering. It’s not supposed to be perfect; it’s just […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
I’ve prototyped a lot of things in my life. Some projects turned into something useful – real tools that people actually use. Others… they just slowly faded. I’d try to force myself to keep going, telling myself, “Just push a little more, maybe it’ll click.” But it never did. No matter how much I tried, […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
The title of the post is puzzle – I recently stumbled upon one in an old printed book. The answer wasn’t obvious. In fact, it irritated me. I kept turning it over in my head. But when I finally got it, the feeling wasn’t just satisfaction – it was recognition. See, solving the puzzle wasn’t […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
In my last post, a lot of people commented that some folks are way too paranoid about washing fruit – like bananas or oranges (honestly, I’m still surprised by how a single sentence can spark a completely different discussion). I mean, you’re peeling them anyway, right? Plus, a little bacteria might actually help your immune […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
They stole our flow state – and turned it into a business model. You know that feeling – when you’re so immersed in a project that you forget to eat, or when you’re in deep work and time just disappears? That’s flow. It used to be about creativity and effortless immersion. Now, it’s been engineered […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
I can’t even really remember when it all started. I think it was right after I did my first marathon – someone I knew mentioned Ironman, and after watching just one video about it, I promised myself, one day, I’d be there too. You know, it’s one of those goals that’s so far away, it […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
I have a confession to make – I have a strange passion. From time to time, I find myself diving deep into books about productivity. Weird, right? The last one I read was Make Time by @jakek and @jazer. The thing is, as I read through their book, I realized they were summing up a […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
I’ve always had a deep love for music from the intricate melodies of classical to the hard-hitting riffs of heavy metal. Music has always been a part of my life, and that’s what led me to start playing piano and eventually work on Piano Companion. Over the years, I’ve started noticing a bit of a […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
Entrepreneurs fail because they start their journey wearing the wrong hat. I’m talking about the roles they play – entrepreneur, manager, and technician. Each one is vital, yet most people only focus on one, especially in the beginning. If this sounds familiar, it’s because Michael E. Gerber breaks this concept down brilliantly in his book […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
Let me guess – you’ve got this “game-changing” idea for a product. It’s the next big thing, right? You’re about to disrupt the industry, redefine the way we live… except… you’re not. At least, not yet. Here’s the truth: your product isn’t special. Your “vision”? It’s not revolutionary. And honestly, that’s okay. Because building something […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
This isn’t your typical “AI is the future” story. This is about how (when everyone was throwing money and excitement at AI like it was the next gold rush) things suddenly went cold. These “AI winters” are like the seasons that hit tech trends: the hype goes sky-high, then everything collapses. And it’s happened a […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
Did you ever think Wikipedia – the place we all run to for quick answers – could be fooled for over a decade? Well, it was. Grab a cup of coffee (or something stronger) for this wild story about a housewife, fake Russian history, and the longest-running hoax you never knew about. It all started […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
We like to think luck is this magical thing that just falls into our laps out of nowhere but it doesn’t. It’s all about being ready when that window of opportunity swings open and don’t stay open forever. I remember when I first heard that quote from Seneca Luck is what happens when preparation meets […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
Ever think about how crazy that thing you did today seemed impossible not too long ago? I’ve been there too. You know that feeling when you finally achieve something that felt out of reach? It’s like you’re on top of the world. And it got me thinking about this quote from Robert Schuller: “Today’s accomplishments […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
Ever feel like you’re drowning in options? I was just thinking about this – like, when you’re picking a movie to watch or choosing what book to dive into next, what pulls you in? Is it the shiny new release that everyone’s hyped about, or the classic that’s been sitting on your list for years? […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
Today, when my 1.9-year-old daughter tried to grab and eat an unwashed orange, I asked her to give it to me so I could wash and peel it if she could wait for a moment. She did. It got me thinking about the marshmallow experiment, where the idea was that patience equals success. But … […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
