I can’t stress enough how little an idea matters compared to the agency of the people executing the idea.
I have had the privilege of knowing and sometimes even working with some of the most successful people (by various metrics).
The difference between mediocre and excellent work and outcomes is predominantly one of agency.
In practice this means: they dont wait for things to happen to them they go out and make things happen for them.
They don’t wait for someone else to do something, for someone to teach them, for someone to give them the path, etc. They just go out and find a way to do it.
I think the single biggest superpower these people have is the realization/belief that the world around them is completely mutable. Most everything that happens is because a person made it happen.
I used to tell people to look around the room you’re sitting in. Look at everything. Every noun. It almost all exists because a person willed it into existence. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same.
I see people online all the time dismissing someone else’s success because “I had that idea first” or whatever. I mean… yeah? If so then the difference is… you. So a bit of a self own whenever I hear that.
Number one tip: act with agency.
Wrong. Software development isn’t going away. It’s just being redefined.
AI can handle the part about typing code. But that was never the hard part.
The hard part is getting partial and conflicting and ambiguous requirements, and working through all that to get to what users need, which might be different than what they said they want.
The hard part is filling in the gaps, and planning an architecture that can scale so you’re not rewriting the whole system once a change is requested or you have a lot of users.
The hard part is having taste, designing things to be simple and user friendly and make users delighted when they try your software.
Good software requires negotiation. Thought. Wisdom. Judgement. Experience. Taste.
AI can do the easy parts of translating that into instructions the computer understands.
But it can’t figure out what should be built, what users need, and what they would love.
And this fantasy that anyone can or even wants to do all this is just that, a fantasy.
Become an agentic AI software developer, if you are interested and well suited to the task. And then put your agentic AI army to work.
I told Democrat Commissioner Diane Marseglia to her face,
“Peacefully, we are coming for your seat in 2027 — if you don’t resign today.”
She replied, “Have at it.”
Also called for Marc Elias & his cronies to be disbarred from practicing in Pennsylvania.
Bucks County roared.
15. "Leaders come and leaders go, but don’t change the rules of the game.
Censorship is changing the rules of the game.
Lawfare is changing the rules of the game.
Importing voters is changing the rules of the game.
Time to change the people who are changing the rules of the game." – Naval
Please get into Nevada we got voter fraud happening. Mine and my husband’s vote was stolen. I have proof of this. We voted I have proof. I have receipts of voting. Our leaders wont go after the fraud. Every Dem kept their seats not 1 republican wins their race we voted Trump in and we are being sold a bill of goods that no republican won their race after a midnight ballot dump from Clark. 90% of the dum was solid split allegedly. We need help here.
FDA’s war on public health is about to end. This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can't be patented by Pharma. If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags.
Since we have the Senate, we should eliminate the filibuster and add 10 more conservative Supreme court justices.
Does that sound about right Democrat voters? Isn’t that what you’ve been saying you wanted to do?
Weird how +20 million Democrats just disappeared in a single election from 2020 to 2024
Super duper strange man
Joe Biden got 81 million votes
