I spent some time working in Elm this weekend. I am really enjoying functional languages the more I work with them.

This year I’m trying to focus more on consistency, with a mantra of “festina lente”. Success happens over Yuma long term, but only if you work at it consistently.

Festina Lente = Make Haste Slowly
""Most big, deeply satisfying accomplishments in life take at least five years to achieve. This can include building a business, cultivating a loving relationship, writing a book, getting in the best shape of your life, raising a family, and more. Five years is a long time. It is much slower than most of us would like. If you accept the reality of slow progress, you have every reason to take action today. If you resist the reality of slow progress, five years from now you'll simply be five years older and still looking for a shortcut."" (James Clear, 3-2-1 Email Newsletter)

The secret is there is no secret.

No magic tea. No superpower pill. If any of this stuff worked there wouldn't be a billion dollar industry of hacks.

Move your body. Eat whole foods. Sleep. Read. Surround yourself with good people. Practice your values. Show up consistently.

Seeing the calling component file in the browser devtool inspector is so f-ing nice. Makes debugging/development so much more enjoyable.

It's a real shame watching society optimizing itself for fast money over sustainability.

What we're witnessing today isn't greed. It's desperation caused by greed.
