I love this kind of commentary about my day.

Angry comments are the algorithm’s love language.
I don’t argue. I don’t explain. I delete, block, and move on—while Syntax supervises.

Creative productivity is less “optimized workflow” and more “breadcrumbs and vibes.”

If you’ve dropped a few and feel like you’re winging it, this one’s for you.

The real ROI of content marketing isn’t traffic spikes — it’s traction, clarity, and not losing your mind.
This one's for the solo consultants, the creative grinders, and anyone who's ever been gaslit by their own automation.

I tried to build a Halal AI that could answer questions using Qur’an + hadith only.

What I got:

YAML errors

Moral dread

Syntax judging me

…and a decent blog post tbh

How to grow organic traffic on a new website (yes, even if you’re starting from zero).

🍃 No paid ads
🧠 Clean setup
🧭 Real people found it

I broke down the 60-day journey here:

Working on a thing.
It’s buggy, awkward, and kind of brilliant.

If you know Qur’an + hadith well enough to say “that’s not how that works,” I’d love your eyes on it.

Very alpha. DM me.

Qur’an. Hadith. Fiqh. Frameworks.

Got a sharp eye and a deep well of Islamic knowledge?

I need 2–3 testers to try something... unusual. Experimental. Definitely not ready.

DM if you’re game.

Not every win is loud
Some reshape entire futures in silence

This is a reflection on legacy, leadership blind spots, and what it means to leave behind something that outlives your job title

⚠️ Looking for hadith nerds, fiqh fans, and Qur’an aficionados.

I’m testing something experimental. It’s early. Very alpha. You’ll break it. That’s the point.

If you know your Islam deeply and want in, DM me.

Nothing fancy. No frills. Just pure paper-bag joy.
Happy birthday, little chaos engine. 💥🐾

Built a personal operating manual using ChatGPT.
Result? More structure. More creative projects. Also: a cat named Syntax.

Lock screens, cursed merch, and productivity rituals await:

Ever feel like you warned them months ago and they just… didn’t listen?

Then, when it breaks, they ask:
“Hey, do you know anyone who can fix this?”

👋 Yeah. You do.

Until they quietly fail.
For weeks.

Then I’m whispering, “I swear I set that up right,” like it’s a prayer.

I installed one WordPress plugin. Then another. Then, I broke the site.

No,w I know more PHP than I planned to before breakfast and have strong opinions about caching.

Am I a web developer now? (Apparently.)

The myth of work-life balance has hands.
And I’ve been wrestling it since 2005.

I wrote about what it means to drop the ball on purpose, and why “good enough” might be the most radical win of all.

I didn’t train an AI assistant.
I hired one.
Its name is ChatGPT.

It helped me log my hours, plan my meals, and schedule breaks so I didn’t forget to hydrate like a shriveled office plant

I built a personal operating system with ChatGPT.

It tracked my hours.
It cleaned up my blog drafts.
It reminded me to charge my mouse.

Then it helped me launch three projects and write this reflection:

Built a system to manage my time.
Accidentally launched a cat-themed brand.

My brain needed a user manual—so I made one. With ChatGPT.

🧠 Burnout. Creativity. Syntax.

I sat down to work.
I made a #Netflix series

There’s merch.
There’s a popcorn bucket
There’s a tuxedo cat named Syntax who writes code when no one’s looking.

This is what happens when creative burnout gets weird
