People fall in love with ideas because ideas never fight back. Execution does. It exposes your blind spots, your patience, your habits and your excuses. Most founders learn more from the first week of doing than the first year of imagining.

Underrated life lesson: Confidence is less about knowing you’ll win and more about knowing you’ll bounce back even if you don’t. Real confidence is built on resilience. Adaptability. Tolerance for uncertainty. Fear loses when you embrace that failure is never final.

The older I get, the more I realize you can reinvent yourself as many times as you need. New habits. New mindsets. New standards. New people. New career. You’re never stuck. You’re allowed to change. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as it takes to create the life you want.

Alan Watts explained why your need for control is what’s keeping you anxious:

Be delusional :

You can always tell someone who will be successful because they are so oddly different from everyone around them.

Respect to those who believe / fight for humanity / reason / social justice. RESPECT 💪🏽

How/why? No one gives a fuck outside their own economic bubble (a.k.a. It's all about the money / economics incentives?!)? Or WTF is going on?

If you want to really enjoy software development, consider finding the smallest team possible, preferably with no dependency on other teams. Most of the suffering in the software industry is due to believing the mythical man month is true.

Your intelligence cannot be measured by a number. It is defined by your willingness to learn, solve problems and try new things. You are more than just a number. Develop your skills. Share your brilliant ideas. Your skills are more valuable than your grades. 🧠

I’m old enough to remember when Scrum gatherings were relevant to software developers.

“We’re emerging from a time where alignment &efficiency were pursued like the holy grail. The shift towards embracing messiness &diversity seems almost impossible, especially to leaders & managers who equate competence with control” ⁦⁦@sonjabl⁩ 👏🏼

Agree w Jono - remote work is great for some people and companies, and not others. If you do choose to build a fully remote team, you have to be very deliberate in how you build the team and culture. Many underestimate how hard it is to do remote well.

My 2000-me would have been baffled if he knew we'd still be carrying these systemic misunderstandings in 2023(!). Yours? Like, seriously… ;)

Food for thought. #learn, #unlearn & #relearn 👌

Ask yourself: Who do I spend my time with? Goethe said, “Tell me who you spend time with and I will tell you who you are.” It’s not just people. What you read, what you watch, what you think about—your life comes to look exactly like your surroundings. Choose wisely.
