Investing in long term is easy? 💀

Ok, that statement aside, I actually don’t know if for me this is due to ADHD or autism. I’m still undiagnosed for both but I always thought this was my autism thing. For me, I’m the person that can’t see the big picture. I like doing the work because it’s the smaller pieces that usually have a clear objective. I don’t understand things like “aligning with the mission” or the wacko lingo 'cause I can’t see it. It’s kind of like mental math for me. I can’t do it. I struggle imagining the numbers in my head—like how I can’t collage together everything needed for a successful project. Sometimes out of nowhere I’ll get a eureka moment but I for the life of me can never be a project manager.

There also used to be an open source Alexa-like kind of smart speaker that went by Mycroft AI. They were doing crowd funding I believe but that didn’t go anywhere and so they eventually stopped working on it. You can still find their stuff on YouTube though: https://www.youtube.com/@MycroftAIForEveryone/videos

The only thing that’s turned me off about FOSS is if I see suspicious stuff about it in their bug reports. All software has vulnerabilities, sure, but depending on what the code is trying to do, cannot trust it.
