until death, all defeat is psychological

Unless you're building something really complex and getting paid heavily for your work, working more than 2-4 hours daily is way too inefficient and kinda stupid.

With the right use of AI, you can easily cut your working hours in half no matter how "complex" your tech job is.

Unpopular career advice that actually works:

1. Take the career break.
2. Stop outshining your boss.
3. Leave at 5:30 PM, most days.
4. Never put work apps on your phone.

As software engineer, we have an incredible luxury of making mistakes.

We are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them.

Imagine being a doctor and making a mistake will cost someone's life.

You can just do things

My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:

“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

A deadline does more for focus than any technique.

[Anthony Gore @anthonygore]

"Flow state" doesn't exist in software dev anymore.
I used to be able to lock in and focus for a couple of hours when implementing something.
With AI there is constant task switching, waiting, etc which prevents flow state.
I think this mode of working is a bad fit for most software devs.

The hustle never ends.

Had a conversation with a senior about whether I should do an MBA.

He said something that stuck with me:

Even at 30-40, you’ll still need to build things, participate in hackathons, show leadership and prove you’re different.

The only way to survive private industry long-term is to actually be passionate about what you do.

Don’t chase tech only for the money.

Because the moment the learning stops, the job starts feeling like a burden and the fear of getting laid off never really leaves.

Low-agency people don't get what they want. They get what the system gives them.

High-agency people bend reality toward their goals. Slowly, incrementally, exhaustingly... but they bend it.
