Philosophy, specifically stoicism, has probably been the most influential thing in terms of changing the course of my life for the better.

Good software scales, more now than ever.

- It takes me under a minute to spin up several working Figma plugins.
- Hundreds of marketing templates within a day.
- Several new features in a span of an hour.

The catch? It takes the work to get there.

Building with AI is f*cking hard.

I've been building software on a nonstop, 12+hour everyday grind for the last 5 years (including learning on weekends because I LOVE it).

You'll never beat the "getting a programming job" game without knowing *and loving* the rules.

The job market (especially WFH) requires you to be the top 10% of programmers in the world.

You need to play the game without hating it. It's the only way you'll win.

I dropped 60+lbs- it did a number!

Thought that there wasn’t much of a difference…

I was wrong 🤣

Call me crazy!

But Notion's editorial experience is SO GOOD that we're using it for both blogs and newsletters.

This is how it works 👇
