Thinking outside the box requires you to be out of the box or have some out-of-the-box experience. You can only create to the level of that which you have consumed.

I've been working on this piece of software for a couple of weeks now with lots of blockers and feature gaps and I finally have a workable version. Usually when I get to this point on any product, I'm immediately flooded with dopamine and overly excited but this time around, I genuinely just feel like siting on the ground and crying. 😄😂

How did I only just realize that copyleft is a thing 🌚 I've only ever thought of copyright my entire life, I never knew there was a derivative 😂

Building an ai harness tool/ide that allows you build at a very low cost by delegating small tasks and file writes to local/open-weight models. You can configure any high-end model of your choice. The cloud model does the planing/thinking and delegates the writing to local models saving a lot of token cost. It's surprisingly good so far 🫡

The same God who appeared to Adam in the cool of the day appeared to Abraham in the heat of the day. Adam: “in the cool of the day…” — Genesis 3:8. Abraham: “in the heat of the day…” — Genesis 18:1. Think about that! If Adam’s experience becomes your theology, you may conclude, “God comes in the cool.” Then God shows up at Abraham’s tent in the heat! God cannot be boxed into the conditions of His previous visitation. He may come in the cool. He may come in the heat. He may come in the fire. He may come in a still small voice. He may come in a dream. He may come through a man you almost overlooked. THE FIRST RULE OF NOT MISSING YOUR VISITATION IS: NEVER TURN YOUR LAST VISITATION INTO A FORMULA. One of the greatest dangers of an encounter with God is assuming that because you have encountered Him, you now know exactly how He must come. God is consistent in character, but incredibly diverse in expression. The burning bush was Moses’ encounter—not everybody’s formula. The whirlwind was Elijah’s experience—but God was not in the wind. The star led the wise men—but angels spoke to the shepherds. Paul encountered Christ through a blinding light on the Damascus road; Timothy was formed through Scripture, family influence and apostolic impartation. SAME GOD. DIFFERENT METHODS. Do not become so loyal to the cool of yesterday that you miss God standing in the heat of today. Sometimes we are praying, “Lord, do it again!” And God is saying, “Recognise Me again!” Because visitation is not merely about recognising a method. IT IS ABOUT RECOGNISING GOD—EVEN WHEN HE CHANGES THE METHOD. Abraham did not say, “This cannot be God; it is too hot!” He discerned the visitation in conditions that did not look convenient for visitation. That is maturity. Never worship the temperature of your last encounter. Never make a doctrine out of the weather in which God last met you. God cannot be boxed. Stay discerning. Your next visitation may not look anything like your last one.

What I got done today as a software engineer: * Did an extensive read into software and network security * Doomscrolled on X 🥲

What I got done today as a software engineer: * Signed a new contract * Worked on my side project * I went for a long drive across town * Showed up on X

Start taking interviews even when you’re not ready just to gauge your development. It'll help you know what's important. I remember my first React interview in 2021, I was still taking the React course on @scrimba then. I flopped the interview but I realized my next modules convered most of what I was asked and I was able to pay more attention to it because I already encountered them in an interview

What I got done today as a software engineer * Tried out a couple of alternatives to a product I'm building. * Merged a few PRs * Showed up on X.

Creativity can be cultivated from exposure, curiosity and experimentation, but not directly taught.

You don't have to finish a million courses to start applying for jobs. Build something with the skill you already have and put it out there

Major cheat code for life: realizing you can be proud of your progress without being satisfied with your position. You can appreciate how far you've come and still want more. Gratitude and ambition are not enemies. "I'm grateful for this, and I'm not done yet" works quite well.

Vertical scaling is the right first move almost every time. You change nothing about your code, pay for a bigger machine, and you're done for the afternoon. If a bigger server fixes your problem, buy the bigger server and get back to work.

What I got done today as a software engineer: * Reviewed a couple of PRs * Created the design systems for a new project * A couple of meetings and briefs here and there. * Showed up on X
