Why can’t I just focus and get things done?

Some days I’m too tired or bored.
Other days I’m anxious and overwhelmed.

This was me 👆... But here's how I've solved it for good 👇
CMD + TAB

is way too close to

CMD + Q

🤦‍♂️

"Figure out what you want, and then go after it as if *your life depends on it*. Because it does."

A recipe for tunnel vision, short term thinking and burnout.

If you need to delete multiple branches w/ similar naming pattern locally:

```
git branch | grep "branch-name-starts-with" | xargs git branch -D
```

Experimentation never dies.

"This has to work" does.

"Just Do It"

Only works if you're doing your thing, not someone else's.

@cursor_ai finally has a plan mode.

It actually created a detailed .md file for me to review with a button to trigger execution. Quite nice and something I was missing when switching away from Claude Code.

"Renting your home is a waste of money"

A big lie that keeps people poor.

"He disrespected me"
"She bullied me"
"They hurt me"

A great way to let them live rent-free in your mind.

For all you Auth nerds, is this auth pattern in @nextjs ok?

– Clients call the API with auth
– API checks user identity (e.g. via @ClerkDev )
– API queries the DB directly (no JWT validation)

So the DB doesn’t know about auth, it just trusts the API to enforce it. Good practice?

Thanks @raycast for enabling "Set Volume to 100%" by default so I can blow out my ears 😑

Reminding myself that *Marketing >>>> Product*

Imagine spending a *few hours* creating a video/blog/etc...
...and getting traffic to your product for months or years.

That's an insane ROI.

I think, "it's the journey not the destination" is wrong

It makes it sound like we're picking between the two.

My current experience tells me:
- when we focus on the journey we get the destination.
- when we focus on destination we lose both.

"I need to stay ahead"

A mindset that will keep you behind.

An incomplete list of extreme sports in your 40s:

- Getting in and out of a hot tub
- Sneezing too hard
- Opening a jar without "warming up"

“I just need my first million then I can relax.”

A mindset that keeps you poor.

I think it's about time I built a real admin dashboard...

but while I'm here I wanted to share with you all what my current "admin dashboard" looks like - just a bunch of saved API calls in @GetInsomnia :

Who else is using Insomnia, or Postman App like this?

Be honest.

At some point software will build itself. What will you do then for work?

Be honest.

What did you say yes to today that you should’ve said no to?
