Starting a live build right now, and I have no idea what it’s going to be yet 🤔
Expect something simple, fun, and maybe a little unexpected - I’ll be posting updates in the comments.
Drop your thoughts below, and repost to share the buzz 🚀
Stay tuned.

masters nationals this weekend.
PB in almost every event. wanted sub-27 for 50 free, got exactly 27.00 (lane 8). swimming gods have a sense of humour.
months of training done while building in silence. time to ship the ecosystem.
watch this wave.

trimming the fluff, keeping what actually works. less is more.
turns out most of my best outputs came from like 5 core patterns. cheatsheet format cuts hours to minutes.

dev maturity is unlocked when you realise:
1. everything is just JSON
2. github copilot is a goat
3. django is insanely powerful
4. refactor = distractor, fix the bottlenecks
5. keyframes are easy, youre just impatient
4 is a life lesson. 5 hit different.

I've been playing with cursor a bit and find it frustrating, even though I only gave it very simple tasks.
It hallucinates icons, doesn't correct them when I tell it to use the real ones & messes up functionality when I just ask it to change UI colors.
How to work smoothly with it?

The foundation of every #marketing channel:
• measure KPIs and iterate on data
• meet your ICP in their moment of pain
• ask "so what?" until you find the root benefit
• communicate in a language they resonate with
• make your offer so attractive that you don't need to hard sell

9k total across morning and evening sessions. more drills, less survival mode. saudi team still making it look effortless.
one session left then back to shipping reality.

leave your phone somewhere you physically cant reach when working.
note which apps you actually miss (most are just habits). use desktop versions if needed.
