A while back, I talked to a founder who's currently building a new product. He hadn't launched yet, cause he just needed to build a few more features.
I talked to him again the other day (3 months later).
He's built 20-something new features since our first talk... But he still just needed to build a few more features before he could launch, he told me.
I'm willing to bet that you're never gonna hear about this founder's product.

I never thought I would use my algorithms or traversals knowledge. Now I'm doing that everyday. I dusted off my big O notations in a business meeting to try and explain the complexity.
From a quieter Q4 in 2024 focused on learning Japanese to managing a team of 4+ engineers in 2025. Itโs been a whirlwind of growth and challenges! ๐
2025 has kicked into high gear! ๐ From learning Japanese in Tokyo last Q4 to now leading teams as CTO and CMO across multiple companies. Itโs been an incredible journey!
