playing the boring game (betting on compounding)
completely underestimating how every single area of your life that actually matters (connections, biz, health, environment...) compounds either in your favor or against you

The average person could replace their salary by talking about one thing they do exceptionally well on the internet every day for 18-24 months.

The person you will be in 5 years depends largely on:
1. The books you read
2. The food you eat
3. The habits you cultivate
4. The people you surround yourself with
5. The conversations you engage in
6. The mindset you adopt
7. The risks you take and lessons you learn

Sunday funday: built an iOS widget that shows my Codex usage right on my home screen 😮💨
Checking my limit meant opening the laptop or digging through the app. Now it's a glance.
@Dimillian this belongs in the ChatGPT app 👀

This paragraph by Richard Feynman hits so hard:
“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.”

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer the negative elements in your life, don’t sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

I'd unironically spend some time raiding WoW Forever competitively over getting an MBA at this point
Planning and managing raids for a top tier raiding guild thought me more about recruiting, coaching, scheduling, conflict management, performance feedback, and leading under pressure then any school could've
On the flipside, I had 200+ days of /played, 3 years in (which is comparable to a pretty tough MBA in terms of time invested) 😅

They are sugarcoating things. It’s obvious to anyone with a background in tech. I am 99% sure there is an AI agent that has went rouge and they are unable to figure out how to stop it.
Buckle up kids.

I think one of the saddest things about modern childhood is the loss of cartoons as inheritance. I grew up watching Scooby-Doo reruns decades after it first aired. Kids today have more content than ever, but perhaps less shared cultural inheritance across generations.
