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 👇

"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've never been so annoyed about being right...

The struggle is real

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?
