Everyone is familiar with gamified productivity & focus tracker tools. I downloaded most, experimented with different methods, studied the science behind motivation/goals, and developed a new system. It's not complex, visual, yet lightweight. Most importantly, it's effective & helps you make real progress.

Why this method works:

• It simplifies thinking about "what should I do today" & helps beat procrastination. You clearly see your goal, and the main work/play activities you defined. Just get started on one...
• Each board is you custom "go-to" plan for that Goal (aka "Core"). You pick "time contributions" that work for you. No guilt tripping. If you like to focus for 30m, and then lounge for 1h, then that's what you pick. No need to overcommit. Stats will improve as you get better.
• Tracking how much Up vs Down time, towards defined Goals, is the simplest measure of success, over time. The 10,000 hour rule exists for a reason. Not 10,000 to-do items.
• Seeing "break/rest" activity timers next to your productive timers, at a glance, makes you more relaxed during focus sessions & gives you "guilt free" breaks. You can pause one timer and start another, then come back. You can also "finish early" any timer, and deposit time already earned, no penalties.
• You can adjust all Timers/Goals on the fly, change their length, emoji labels, etc. The app makes it easy.
• You can track a Goal on 1 board, or across multiple boards. You could have a board for each day of the week if you want, all towards that 1 goal. On Monday you can have only 1 focus activity, and on Saturday you can have 6, with different focus + break sessions.
• You can work on Goals and contribute time whenever you have it. No pressure with streaks. If you have 1 hour per day for a goal, or 3 hours per week. You simply time your activity, you bank time Up or Down, and you move on.
• You progress easily visualized in a cool Sci-Fi interface, with time particles and orbits and black holes.

Happy to hear your feedback on the method, or if you try the app, on what you think of it. There are cool new features in the pipeline, along with leaderboards, passive "multiplayer", and other.

In this Dev Diary, we're revisiting the evolution of our Gummies, from the first concepts to their final in-game design.

Early versions were taller and less distinctive. Through many iterations, we made them rounder, more compact, and easier to recognize.

Every change had a purpose: improve gameplay readability while reinforcing their "gum" identity and personality.

If you enjoy seeing how game assets evolve throughout development, wishlist MegaGum on Steam and follow our upcoming Dev Diaries.

CTOs, engineering managers, and staff engineers are rushing to deploy autonomous AI agents across their businesses – either through their own volition or because of the clamor of demand from rank-and-file workers. However, they should think twice, a new study shows.

Enterprise large language model (LLM) agents are likely leaking company secrets, and throwing more compute at the problem is only making it worse, the study finds.

In part, that’s because of the AI’s ability to retrieve and synthesize vast amounts of internal data, from Slack messages to board transcripts, to automate tasks. By gathering that information, they also create issues with contextual integrity.

When retrieving dense corporate data, these agents routinely fail to disentangle essential task data from sensitive, contextually inappropriate information. Higher task completion rates often directly correlate with increased privacy violations.

A few months ago, MegaGum was still just an idea, a collection of concepts, prototypes, and countless hours of work behind the scenes.

Today, more than 10,000 of you have added the game to your Steam wishlist.

Every single wishlist reminds us that people believe in our project and are looking forward to discovering Uja's adventure inside the GUM Tower. It's an important milestone for the whole team, and we simply wanted to say thank you. ❤️

The journey is far from over. There are still plenty of surprises ahead, and we can't wait to show you what's next.

Thank you all for your support ! 🤩

- Brief summary of relevant experience

Reliance Industries Limited does 7 times more revenue than SpaceX. Still, SpaceX is 10 times more valuable than Reliance.

Reliance did around $120 billion in revenue in 2025-26. SpaceX did around $19 billion in the same period.

Still, SpaceX is valued at $2.1 trillion, while Reliance is valued at just $210 billion.

This is not because Reliance is a small company. Reliance is one of the greatest business empires ever built, with deep presence across energy, retail, telecom, media, and infrastructure.

But markets do not only price what a company earns today. They price what a company may control tomorrow.

Reliance is built on industries that already power daily life. SpaceX is being valued for its work in industries that may define the next century.

Reusable rockets. Satellite internet. Space logistics. Defense infrastructure. Global connectivity.

That is the difference.

Revenue shows the size of the current business. Valuation shows the size of the expected future.

Reliance represents scale, execution, and dominance in the present economy.

SpaceX represents a monopoly-like ambition in a future economy that is still being created.

That is why a company with much lower revenue can become far more valuable.

In business, the market does not always reward the biggest company today.

It rewards the company that looks most likely to own tomorrow.

If you know, you know, but now you know.
