this post is missing important nuance. it depends on the type of income you have . passive income (youtube) will leave you with 100% of your creative energy to pour into your side project . active income from a job that induces decision fatigue (wage cuck) will starve you of.

Get a normal job. Then make side projects after work. Once the side projects make more than your main job for 6-12 months, quit yoir main job. I don't know anyone who just fucked around being unemployed and then suddenly built a successful business, it was always people who had a.

always found it to be a weird flex to brag about how much you’ve raised pre-product. say no to victory laps pre-product.

ai will enable high agency engineers to speak for themselves. unnecessary hops within an org will be a thing of the past.

RTFM is morphing into prompt the fucking AI (PTFAI). writing good docs is still important but devs won’t read them directly.

if you're an engineer and you're staying in the middle you're ngmi. accept that the middle is not your edge. so?. move outward.your edge is at the edges . make your ideas a reality. bring them into production.

AI doesn’t do it end-to-end. It does it middle-to-middle. The new bottlenecks are prompting and verifying.

VC isn’t the only option to build your idea. Quick feedbacks cycles are key to proving an idea before investing time and resources.

high agency is emerging as the most valuable human trait in a post-LLM world. the future has almost always rewarded such people. I believe that the reward will now be multiples of what it was before. the smarter you are, the smarter the LLM.

@hosseeb @naval I agree there isn't any point in someone handing you an AI-written whitepaper. We'll eventually start socially devaluing large blobs of text. AI spam detectors will get built into the OS itself. But I disagree that AI reduces the value of intelligence, because IMO it means.

after watching CT drag the ETH trade through the mud for well over a year, it’s pretty sweet seeing the capitulation.

high alignment = high energy. finding work that meets and/or exceeds your threshold for each of:.- autonomy.- competence/mastery.- relatedness/connection.- purpose.- autotelicity/intrinsic enjoyment (doing the work for its own sake). will lead to high alignment and from here,.

in my book, doing nothing is somewhat equivalent to active recovery: zone 2 cardio, sauna, meditation, stretching, talking to family and friends.

believe it or not, your 5-day workweek suffers from your 2-day, YouTube short, X fueled, brain-rot weekend.

oddly enough, the productivity you’re waiting for is sometimes on the other side of doing nothing at all.
