What’s something you changed your mind about in recent years? I’m curious to hear everyone’s perspective.
For me, it was realizing that slowing down often leads to better work and a clearer mind, not less progress.

What’s one piece of technology you feel nostalgia for, even if it wasn’t "better"?
Not the stuff that objectively improved your life.
The stuff that felt different: slower, stranger, more alive, more yours.
Weird ones too.

New revelation today, the old internet felt special because it was small.
Niche communities made it feel alive.
They still exist, just buried under algorithms, influencers, and corporate sites.
The magic didn’t die, it just got hidden.

Working across various domains and having to switch programming languages for all of them, reimplement features, has become too much of a mental task. I am seriously considering creating a custom language or at least a transpiler with multiple backends.

Sometimes it’s about staying curious, cleaning the mental tools, and trusting that small effort adds up.

Some days are not about big wins.
They are about small steps that make life a little more yours.
Perfection never arrives all at once.
It grows with you.

It is about deleting noise.
You can uninstall half your phone and still stay distracted.
Focus on clarity, not emptiness.

They do not show you what you like, only what you will click.
Over time you forget how to explore.
