Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts / Rate us on Spotify! Do you use Notion for note taking? Or do you prefer something like Google Keep or Apple’s Notes app for your notes. Have you ever wondered why you pick one over the other? There are of course a myriad of factors that go into choosing what software you use for work. “Speed” (of the software) tends to be one such important factor in our opinion. Listen in on this week’s Frndship Time to know more about why we think so while we go over one of Ratik’s favourite essays on the topic of the speed of software: Fast Software, the Best Software by Craig Mod.

Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts / Rate us on Spotify! Ratik talks to Parth about a fresh perspective of looking at ideas: the "possible by default" mindset. As we grow up and go through school and work, we’re conditioned into an "impossible by default" mindset, where the assumption about any particular difficult task is that it would be impossible, and we place the burden on ourselves to try to prove that it’s in fact possible, alongside the burden of actually doing it.  Why not flip this conditioning on its head? Why not operate on a much more ambitious assumption of things being possible by default? All of this and a lot more in this week's Frndship Time!  Links from the episode Ratik's Stack Overflow Question Meraki Foundation Cj Hendry mini documentary Learned Helplessness Refactoring by Martin Fowler Outro Music Frndship Time on the Internet Website Email Instagram ❤️ — Parth + Ratik

We live in a time where consuming things is easier than it has ever been before. Buying books on your Kindle is a simple tap away, open your podcast app and you'll be greeted with a wide variety of shows to listen to. On-demand streaming services have given everyone access to thousands of movies from all around the world. Consumption can easily take over all of your free time if you let it go unchecked. The flip-side to consumption is the time for creation. Creation can involve anything and everything, it doesn't have to be artistic in nature. Creation can be about generating any kind of value for your friends, family, co-workers or heck even yourself. Generating value, being useful to people around you, making things are all known to be healthy contributors to a person's overall happiness. Consumption and Creation seem like two separate, but interlinked concepts. It is hard to create anything without first consuming things to learn or get inspired. But, as soon as you start consuming too much, the time you put into creation reduces.  How does one balance these two? Do we even need to balance them? Find out what Parth and Ratik think about the Consumption and Creation, how they've historically tried to balance the two, and what they've learned along the way in this week's Frndship Time!
