I've been on this little blue dot for 45 years now. Seen computers go from 1 Mhz C64s to M chips. Seen the internet rise in the 90s. Mobile in the 00s. And this is the first time I've felt I have no clue what the world will look like in four years. Exhilarating time to be alive.
My entire life changed when I accepted one truth:
Real happiness is found in the anticipation. It’s the quest. It’s the hunt. It’s the process. It's the journey. It's the moment right before you achieve it.
Happiness is not in the having, but in the becoming.

I increasingly feel this way about landing pages. Get people into the product funnel more quickly, with as little login friction, if any.
Move faster. Slowness anywhere justifies slowness everywhere.
2021 instead of 2022. This week instead of next week. Today instead of tomorrow.
Moving fast compounds so much more than people realize.

The great myth of our time is that making things more complicated represents progress. In reality, simpler is better.
Perhaps we should try to remove chips and routers from appliances, not add them in.
Writing simple code is not about writing code that is compact and terse. It's about the simplicity of the underlying mental model and the ease with which you can recover this mental model from reading the code.
