Respect the commitment to the craft!
Also useful / timely knowledge for me, thank you. I have a big international trip with multiple longhaul flights coming up and was debating if I should upgrade my airpods or consider something else (e.g. overear headphones). Do folks have overear recommendations?
> Most women spend a considerable amount of time and effort to appear younger and most men do not.
What are you grounding this claim in? Research? You own observations? It seems like you're adding to the original claims in the article but I'm not sure where you're getting your data or if this is just your opinion.
Anecdotally, I feel like there are quite a few male ceos who are loud and proud about their attempts to appear younger and beat aging (e.g. Bryan Johnson and all his followers, Andrew Huberman and folks following his protocols). I don't see the same for women (unless you're including folks like a Kylie Jenner etc. who are celebrities who got famous in part because of their looks / makeup taste etc.).
> "On the other hand, the Men segment, while smaller in comparison, is steadily gaining momentum. The growth in this segment is fueled by a rising awareness among men about skincare, supported by increasing marketing campaigns and product innovations tailored to men’s skin types. This segment is expected to expand as societal attitudes shift, and men increasingly prioritize grooming and skincare routines aimed at maintaining a youthful appearance."
I think is a more data-driven explanation of what I've observed, although you're right that women are the majority of anti-aging product consumers as defined by this report (seems like mostly skincare and cosmetics, makes sense).
> The Global Anti-Aging Products Market size is [worth] USD 47.4 Billion in 2023
That would work out to the average woman spending about $9 on it a year. So one might still question the 'most women' claim, unless these products are considerably cheaper than I'm imagining :)
I strongly suspect that the real story is "a small minority of women and an even smaller minority of men spend quite a lot on these things, the remainder of the population doesn't use them at all."
Bit of a tangent but after reading your comment, I had to look up if Pamela Anderson is the CEO of anything...turns out she is, of a skincare company.
I guess my assumption (which may be wrong) is that Huberman and Johnson are not isolated figures but rather wildly popular figures with followings of millions of men who want to do what they do and be more like them when it comes to longevity etc.
Wanting longevity and wanting to look younger are related but distinct things.
Huberman’s and Johnson’s niche seems to be telling people how to live longer and feel better, not really how to look younger. Huberman sports a very gray beard. He’s not trying to pretend he’s in his 20s.
A few that come up frequently are Spotify and Google's offerings although there are a ton of startups as well. I'm not super familiar with this tooling so can't recommend from personal experience, sorry. Good luck with the search and hope you find something useful here.

Nick and the GitLaw team built this based on patterns from reviewing hundreds of agent contracts. We contributed our research from working with dozens of agent companies on monetization challenges."
Unless I'm misunderstanding and GitLaw and CommonPaper are related or collaborating, I feel like this callout deserves to be mentioned earlier on and the changes / distinctions ought to be called out more explicitly. Otherwise, why not just use CommonPaper's version?
I like the idea of finding an alternative name to "vibe coding" to describe this more substantive alternative. However, I personally think the name "vibe engineering" is too close to vibe coding and not sufficiently distinct.
I don't have a great alternative unfortunately. I've used "agentic coding" in the past as a means of differentiating from vibe coding, but I don't think that's necessarily clear enough either.
That said, maybe with defining this new approach it's just going to take time for any term to become familiar enough to be self-explanatory.

I'd never thought of it this way explicitly, but it makes sense.
