Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.
The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free.
AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.
And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.
We built the library.
Someone else started charging admission.
This stretch should be mandatory for people who sit at desks.
It's called the Tactical Frog.
Your hip flexors shorten when you sit. Your glutes stop firing. Your lower back picks up the slack and starts screaming.
The Tactical Frog targets the inner groin, hip flexors, and adductors at the same time.
How to do it:
Get on all fours. Slide your knees out wide, feet flat and facing out. Lower your hips back slowly until you feel a deep stretch through the inner thighs and groin. Hold for 60 to 90 seconds. Breathe into the tight spots.
It should feel uncomfortable but not painful.
Do it every morning before you open your laptop. Do it again before bed.
I've had clients eliminate years of lower back pain just by making this a daily habit because back wasn't the problem. The hips were.
Sitting is not neutral. It's a slow accumulation of tension that eventually becomes injury.
This can be the antidote.
Chat-first work tools are not the answer. The flaws are baked into the system, you can't undo them. It would be like asking a kangaroo to fly. It can get off the ground, and look like flight for a moment, but it comes crashing right down.
Here's why:

Hey bro, sorry it took so long for me to respond (it’s a difficult topic).
First of all, I’m so sorry for your loss, I truly am. I’ve had a couple of friends that died from cancer and it’s nothing but horrible.
I also can relate to you very personally… My father died in late 2020 of a heart attack. After his death, I chose a very different path, digressing into alcohol…
My point being, we all take it separate ways. But, no matter the path it’s very painful.
Much love Ervin.
Hope you know your words make me happy and optimistic. Sorry if I was too forthright.
Just wanted to take a sec to put @nickarceco's new Drawer component for Etch in front of everyone.
Nick is insanely talented and everything he builds is top notch. I highly recommend you pull up his overview video of this and take a look. This component is buttery smooth and highly versatile. It's something you'd use on every site and it's mad cheap right now.
Seriously, you'll want to grab this before the price goes up. Links are in the screenshot.
In forms… Luck comes in many forms and doesn’t need to be brought to you by the aforementioned… Luck just like anything in life can be created. Likewise, as one that had nearly all the lucky things you had I’m not so lucky in the present.. So it’s all relative. In any case, we’ll all be dead soon. 🤷♂️
