the only thing more embarrassing than trying and failing is never trying in the first place

i wonder how in shape i could get if i actually paid attention to protein and calorie intake

ironically the goal is to stay unemployed

just make stuff

idk why but its hard for me to narrow my focus to just a couple things. without enough attention most things i try will fail

i think i'm officially at the point where i've cut too much weight i need to stay this lean but put more muscle back on

if you give engineers enough of these eventually good things happen

stress++ 😭💀

the less you care the more viral content you can create

why does it feel so good to just sit down and watch a shit ton of youtube and twitch?

do more hard things

it's one of the best ways to learn important lessons about yourself and life

the less attached you are to specific outcomes the happier you'll be

95% of software engineering went from begging your manager to do your job to begging ai to do your job

one of my favorite parts of the day is laying in bed with my laptop watching a let's play of a random video game i know i'll never have the time to play

poor little i; 😭💀

stonks

actually finishing side projects is a red flag for software engineers

there's something about waking up and walking around nyc with a $12 vanilla latte that just hits different

it feels so good to be back in a real gym damn

my gym finally has heavy dumbbells bless

it feels so good to be back in nyc

we waste so much time worrying about things that never end up happening

enjoy the present it's a gift

the mission for the next year is to get my gf to like nyc so much that we never leave

I Quit Google to Go Solo - Was It the Biggest Mistake of My Life? I recently crossed the 3-month mark of being self-employed and thankfully, so far, I still believe it's been the right decision. While leaving my 9-5 software engineering job was a difficult decision,...
