Idk if there's a more self-destructive perspective you could carry in the current era than scared and resistant
Don't get me wrong, everything is being reinvented every 6 fucking hours, and it's devastating, because it ends up better, but I never could have imagined such a democratizing moment where opportunity flows like milk and honey. The only thing you need to bring is your work-ethic, agency and resilience
Build whatever shit you want to fix. Yes you can call it stupid and invalidate in a thousand ways, and everybody else will call it that and shit on your ideas too
But there's a good chance they're wrong, because the rarest attributes humanity has ever found are agency and follow-through
You could build something as dumb as a coloring book, and it could seem like everybody could copy you in an afternoon. But every time that thought pops up you remember how long you've been in this game, and search the app store for an honest one and it still doesn't exist
You can just care more
The real unlock of shipping something that ends up failing is that it leads to another, better idea that might not
I keep thinking about
@jaredpalmer's post this morning, and really think the only thing you can do right now to seal your failed fate is sit on the sidelines scared
Go.
Build.
