"Thanks" and "gratitude" mean different things.

Thanks = actively honoring someone (Old English: "thought")
Gratitude = recognizing you've been blessed (Latin: "favored")

We use them interchangeably. We shouldn't.

I have 47 unpublished blog posts.

Not because I lack ideas. Because I've convinced myself that sharing expertise for free is professional suicide.

Turns out the real suicide is staying invisible while less-qualified voices dominate your niche.

Maybe the goal isn't keeping up with AI chaos and rising costs. Maybe it's just carving out your corner of existence and standing still ... https://t.co/vPCSetiHlM

@wojakcodes What I found helped alot for this is to join a group that shares interests/topics you're familiar with that have fixed frequency schedule for meetups. It conditions you to prep for it but also not sacrifice you alone time

@S1lv3rd3m0n Oddly - I find the challenge is getting distribution without engaging in 'dark patterns' OR spammy methods. Lots of 'build' opps I reckon

First time founders with just an idea and nothing else getting valuations 50-100… companies that shouldnt be raising venture are… and the list goes on. It screws over the founders bc when they can’t raise later funding at higher valuations, the company often dies or has to raise at terrible terms. Just to name a few examples.

no man ever steps in the same river twice,
for it is not the same river,
the world is not fixed, not solid, not safe,
it burns, it shifts, it devours the weak and reshapes the strong.
you can not cling to what was, for it is already gone.
those who resist change will be broken by it, crushed beneath the wait of time.
