action over planning

3 months left in the year and I still haven’t hit my January targets.

[farajabien @farajabien]

the market decides.

An application is simply:
Data entry.
Data manipulation.
Permissions.
Display.
Interaction.
Automation.

That’s it.

Everything else is abstraction, implementation detail, or UX.

[farajabien @farajabien]

what I hate about development is that you could always improve it.

you can finish something, look at it again tomorrow, and immediately see 5 ways it could be cleaner.

and the annoying part is… you’re probably right.

[farajabien @farajabien]

lol I use @nextjs mainly as a wrapper for a bunch of @reactjs apps within my app 😭

[farajabien @farajabien]

what can’t one do with JavaScript?

[farajabien @farajabien]

abstraction is the real software engineering.

[farajabien @farajabien]

UX emerges.

[farajabien @farajabien]

i can see the peak.

i just can’t touch it… yet.

so when?

[farajabien @farajabien]

i like my work to be described as provocative.

It’s crazy that the same trigonometry I learned in high school is still powering the code I write today.

The X and Y axis never left.

Turns out trigonometry wasn’t about triangles. It was about movement… and software is just that.

[farajabien @farajabien]

Race conditions exist outside programming too.

Sometimes life gets messy because two versions of you are trying to write to the same future state at the same time.

The problem isn’t either version.

It’s that neither wants to wait.

Typescript should be the language for AI coding.

[Maximiliano Firtman @firt]

🔴 Vercel Labs dropped Zero on a Friday: an experimental programming language designed for AI agents.

—Uses .0 files
—Syntax has a Rust/Zig vibe
—Agents can understand code without digging through the implementation.

effort does not scale

[farajabien @farajabien]

the first version is bad…but the second version cannot exist without the first

[farajabien @farajabien]

the only way to learn what is wrong is to put the wrong thing in front of someone…

[farajabien @farajabien]

Before designing tools, shouldn’t the system first clearly define the user’s intent and constraints?

What exactly is being built?
What stack?
What constraints?
What output format?

Once that’s defined, the action space collapses and tool complexity becomes secondary.
