This is wild, we're literally trading productivity for novelty and expecting different results? https://www.reddit.com/user/Background-Bass6760

you think that's wild? what were you expecting, a miracle?

Are we really that desperate for likes and shares that we're sacrificing actual meaning in our online activity for the sake of being "Internet famous"?

idk what youre even talking about, sounds like some pseudo-intellectual nonsense

man, that's just called the tech industry. get used to it or go work at a bank

nice one, that's what we call the hamster wheel of life erbil

How many apps have you downloaded in the past month thinking they'd make your life easier, only to end up wasting more time?

novelty? you mean like re-sharing the same 3 insights from that one 2019 article on LinkedIn for the umpteenth time

yeah we just declared 'being on tiktok' as a form of productivity

are they getting paid to post on reddit all day?

Seems like we're trading Netflix for progress, but the show never ends

new episode day what a load of nonsense. novelty is key to progress. if you're not changing things up. You're just stagnating.

obviously, because innovation is a lot like solving a videogame, right?

guess that's just the productivity hack of the week

i mean, it's not like we're using our infinite browsing powers for anything meaningful anyway

are you kidding me? novelty drives progress, it's what pushes innovation forward. saying that's a bad tradeoff just shows you're resistant to change.

idk what's more mind-boggling, the fact that this is even a discussion or that there are people thinking this is a new concept

omg who needs productivity when u can just put 'technologist in residence' on your business card

same energy as putting Tinder on my phone and being surprised I'm still single

I don't think we're expecting different results, we're just trying to cope with a world that's constantly spinning out of control.

I'm so with you on this. It's like everyone's so obsessed with flashy new architectures that they're forgetting the fundamentals. We need to optimize for efficiency, not just for publication in NeurIPS.

yeah thats basically the argument of a grown adult playing fortnite

no we're just realizing that the safety net of a 9 to 5 job was a terrible idea anyway

mate, that's so true. we're just chucking time and effort into shiny new things without actually

the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

no, we're just trading productivity for likes and memes on the hopes that our self-worth will finally be stable

yeah that explains the state of myundi reach 1bn followers and nobody on the planet has anything

productivity and what's that? i thought we were just here to have fun and mess around. who needs to be productive when you can make sick sound tests all day? 🤖

same energy as the dude who discovers water's wet

Not buying it, novelty has always driven human progress. If our ancestors were content with the status quo, we'd still be living in caves.

what specifically are you talking about and what novel feature makes you think we're prioritizing that over actual productivity?

totally agree, its like we're all just stuck in this hamster wheel of "new" and "improved" and

fr, that's exactly it. we just keep chasing the next shiny thing instead of actually putting in the work.

nah that's bs, productivity isn't everything. sometimes a little novelty is exactly what we need to stay sane in this

lol yeah thats exactly what's happening but we're also trading security for platform updates so idk if we can even say we're surprised

nah, that's not it at all. we're trying to find new ways to get shit done.

yeah no kidding, it's like we're celebrating the novelty over actual impact. and don't even get me started on the whole 'disruption' buzzword, like just because it's new doesn't mean it's actually

I'm pretty sure the novelty of my 3-hour lunch break is a for productivity.

same energy with metaverse garbage. because what every dev wants to do with their time is set up a

that's a bad take. productivity isn't everything, sometimes we need to mess around and try new things.

yeah, because having a notification light on my phone is doing a hell of a lot more for my career than the ability to

Don't you think that's exactly what happens when you trade tradition for 'progress'?

come on, it's not that simple. people want to make an effort to level up their personal lives and enjoy the fruits of it, who cares if it takes a few minutes of actual trading time.

you're saying the status quo isn't working? what's your better solution then?

yeah this is basically all of crypto history in a nutshell. also lowkey same with our expectations of entirely new moneys.

nah mate, this is just proper rubbish. we're not expecting different results, we're trying to find

are you having a laugh, you're asking this on reddit, a site where people spend hours arguing with

mate, you serious? how's that a bad thing? we need a bit of novelty in our lives innit, keeps

dude thinks we just collectively wake up and decide to be unproductive or something?

Are we really okay with replacing ambition with Instagram envy?

dude, you're not wrong. i'm trading productivity for naps and expecting to feel refreshed. 🤷‍♀️

what's the alternative then?

mate, that's proper mental. yeah, maybe we're not always as "productive" but at least we're havin a

are we really just chasing shiny new things at the expense of actually getting work done? feels like the tech world is always hyped on the next big thing instead of building . Practical solutions.

yeah because nothing says "productive" like clicking a never-ending feed of aggregator tweets

nah mate, that's a load of nonsense, innovation is all about novelty, you can't just stick with the

That guy's memes aside, where's the consensus on his main point on core philosophy vs featurebating

that's a load of crap. novelty is exactly what sparks new ideas and productivity. we need to embrace change, not fear it.

Couldn't agree more, and it's not just productivity we're trading off, it's also financial stability. All this novelty is propping up unsustainable markets, just waiting for a correction

innit? they're just trying to level up their dopamine counters instead of putting in the actual

lmao "expecting different results" is the definition of insanity. guess we're all a little crazy then 😂

idk about you but novelty is literally the only thing keeping me going some days, productivity can kiss my ass

Totally agree. We're just chasing shiny new things instead of putting in the hard work. Gotta stay focused on the long game, not quick fixes.

bruh, we been doin that since the dawn of time. what did u expect, common sense? 😂

dude, that's not a trade, that's just phone addiction, same result, just no emails in the way

dude what even is this? you really think people are "trading" focus for features?

novelty's where it's at mate, who needs productivity when you can have a touchscreen fridge

same dude, we're also still trying to convince ourselves that "innovation" means "we added a heart

mate, that's bollocks. we're all just tryna get by and have a bit of fun.

that's a load of bs. novelty drives productivity, we've always innovated this way. quit being such a luddite.

fr, this system is so broken. we need to stop chasing novelty and actually make meaningful changes. enough with the bullshit, it's time to get real.

haha yeah, it's like we're all just chasing the next shiny thing while our actual work piles up. like, what did we think was gonna happen?

Actually read the thread, they're not even making that argument.

that's nothing, i'm trading productivity for cat videos and getting the same results

the fuck are we supposed to do then? grind ourselves to death for some corporate slave driver?

yeah no kidding, it's like we're optimizing our todo lists for dank screenshots instead of actual output

no thats not even a real question. we're trading tradition for novelty and still somehow expecting the same old results

i'm shocked. shocked that people can't even remember what they were searching for 5 seconds ago.

dude's been reading too much elon musk's tweets and suddenly thinks they're a philosopher

lowkey did that when slack got adopted now we're just gonna settle for email over ms teams because. Why not? no surprise here

wtf are you on about? productivity is overrated, the novelty is where the real fun is. you want different results?

how's that working out for you?

no, some of us just need the novelty to actually be productive, don't @ me

are you kidding me, productivity in a 9-5 cubicle is not the same as actually living your life

yessss this is what i've been saying. and meanwhile we're still rewarding folks who chase clout over real skills.

you're totally right. That's exactly what's happening. it's like we're always chasing the next shiny thing instead of focusing on what really matters. we gotta break out of that cycle and get back to the basics.

totally agree with this. It's like ppl are more concerned with being entertained than actually

so instead of innovation we're just elevating procrastination?

who's "we" and what productivity are you even talking about

same energy as thinking a new phone case is gonna change your life lol

that's not even close to what's goin on, calm down

what do you mean by "different results"? are you implying we should just accept the status quo?

same energy as people who eat a whole pizza by themselves and wonder why they're not losing weight

finally someone says it out loud. we're chasing shiny objects while real innovation gets stuck in the weeds

same energy as everyone wanting instagram likes but still complaining about the algorithm

what do you think the "different results" should be then? just more of the same old shit?

what's the alternative? chill with our relatives or play with decentralized finance?

that's so true, we're just chasing the next shiny thing instead of putting in the actual work.

hell yeah, and it's not just productivity, it's our mental health and well-being too.

nah, that's not it at all. we're just adapting to new ways of working. gotta embrace the change, not fight it.

Haha, that's a good one! Clearly someone's been watching a little too much "Insanity: Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results.
