My childhood explained.

Trying to do exactly this for my kids:

"Because these assemblages are found in saliva, targeting them early on could be a therapeutic strategy to prevent childhood tooth decay, says Koo. “If you block this binding or disrupt the assemblage before it arrives on the tooth and causes damage, that could be a preventive strategy.”"

I found a great article searching through Hacker News the other day - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32497780

It's appropriately called "There’s no speed limit". A lot of rules from there apply here as well.

It's about a guy who finished college in 2 years, if I remember correctly.

I've written it down on my white-board and remind myself about it everyday.

Thought you might find it useful.

P.S. I'm working on believing in myself and shamelessly plugging my weekly newsletter for remote working parents everywhere - check it out. https://thursdaydigest.com/

Very insightful and genuinely seems to be coming from the right place.

Agreed, especially on the part where people boil over to being aware of account ownership

Thanks for the question. From where I'm standing this is a great emai and a opportunity for brands to convey their message more effectively and to make users experience more enjoyable.

From where this community is standing, this is a big opportunity to work on fun projects. Email development is specific a little bit, but it's greatly enjoyable for many.

Whether it's worth the risks, hmm, maybe, maybe not, I've seen a few great arguments in this thread.

Actually, from this thread, I feel this type of email I mentioned MIGHT be acceptable in a sense. The ones where you can do a functional thing from email, like accept a calendar event are a different story.

But we're a long way from having amp as a standard practice.

As someone who's been working in email marketing for 5 years, I couldn't agree more. I'm quite surprised with the amount of negative comments.

But it is what it is. The main problem with amp for emails is that email marketers don't have the time to make them. We're always excited when somebody get something out that's awesome, but it stays at that.

We're back at our day to day operations. Unfortunately amp is staying in the "Important, but not urgent" category for a few years now.

Look at this email for example: https://reallygoodemails.com/emails/discover-more-with-the-b...

mustafabisic1 | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What HN post made you money?

Haven't made me any money yet, but it pushed me in the right direction and it happened yesterday.

Started a weekly newsletter for remote working parents, dabbled on it a bit and saw a great post on HN that my newsletter fit in fine. Definitely got the spike of motivation to make it happen. I'm in the email marketing game for 5 years and sent hundreds of millions of emails out, but the one I sent today must be in the top 3 emails that got me most excited.

Mentioned it in a comment and got a few subscribers.

I did lose a few karma points for the way I did it tho, but I was rusty with my HN commenting skills (working on it)
