I'm in a similar situation, with a similar mindset and education (i.e. none)
Sure, a broad skillset would make an excellent case for starting your own business, but I think that being a "jack of all trades" is a sign of a certain personality: great vision and engineering talent, but lack of disciplin to really follow through.
Trying to start my own business has been the most frustrating chapter of my life. I would drop projects regularly to work on something more exciting. I never got anything done until I randomly found a job with a good boss.
Good management is crucial. Someone who can keep up with new ideas and who can delegate the burden which comes with project work.
The field is in my view irrelevant; you would pick up the skills anyway.
LOL, no. I’ve been a HN reader for years, and this MBP fan issue is driving me nuts for a while now, I wanted it to get some attention.
Then I realized I don’t remember my HN password, that’s why the new account.
My name is Antal. K is the initial of my last name.
Glad we cleared that up.
But the last part of your message is noted, thank you. Next time I will do so.
Apologies re: name assumption. There’s always a lot of throwaway accounts with blank profiles and they’re impossible to tell from genuine content with any certainty. I’ll not comment about account names in the future, it was a bad call.
For what it's worth, this only occurs when connected to an external monitor -- which causes the discrete GPU to overheat, even with no apps running.
Using the built-in display (with the discrete GPU on) is fine.
I’m using 2 external displays (one 4K) and it’s not overheating and the fans are completely silent.
My 16” i9 is MUCH quieter than my 15” 2015 Macbook pro, and it’s not like i’m browsing Facebook: i’m constantly compiling and running tests on every file save.
My macbook feels warm but not hot, even when I touch it at the fan exhausts. I do notice my battery only lasting about 2,5 hours though.
Playing games it runs great and while you can hear the fans, it’s much better compared to my 15” 2015.
Personally i’m really impressed with the cooling and performance of the 16”
