🚨 Heads up! Tomorrow (Monday) PlayCode will have a major downtime — we’re migrating to a new version 💪 The site will be completely unavailable for about 6–8 hours (hopefully less). ⏰ Starts at 07:00 UTC. Please don’t plan anything important on PlayCode this Monday ❤️

The only way to learn something, truly, you need to build it from scratch. This is the way I learned full-stack website building.

I spent 2900 minutes on meditation apps. Paid money to listen to "magic" music. Listened to voices telling me how meditation "rewires my brain." Followed instructions on how to breathe, how to sit, how to think, how to feel, how to live. Then I tried just lying down in silence.

In one of the Y Combinator presentations, one participant asked, "Okay, this is all clear, your business advice, ideas, how to do things, it's all clear, but how do you avoid burnout?" And then the Y Combinator speaker answered. He didn't just answer, he was even annoyed by this

I have migrated from Webpack to Vite + Rolldown. Production build time changed from 78 seconds to 3.5 seconds. Unbelievable. Thank you @youyuxi

I spent years trying to build a better startup. I finally realized I had to build a better founder first. The product I'm building now isn't for productivity. It's for survival. It's the OS I needed when my own system was on fire.

My #1 anti-overengineering rule: Before I start: “What am I really trying to do?” If the answer isn’t a single sentence, I don’t touch the keyboard. This one question has saved months of building the wrong thing.

The Sleep Deprivation Cascade (root of most of my failures): Trigger → Work binge → Sleep debt → CEO offline → Panic/impulses → Bad choices → More problems. Sharp knife: early bedtime + non-skippable breaks. I don’t negotiate with this anymore.

I’ve been coding for 18 years. The code wasn’t the hardest part. Staying focused, sleeping well, and not burning out was. I’m building systems to manage the human who writes the code: - A 2-step triage for anxiety - Anti-burnout sleep rules - Protocols that keep me
