hi frens, nakamas, and homies 👋🏼

i'm jakk my locals call me aj; wizard in training, known for my perma-beard.

🚧minor rebrand moment as i start rolling out my solo builder blog + developer resources. gotta serve the algo gods that hate when you take up more than one lane.

i'll still be giving snarky hot takes and sharing my creative work at my legacy @jakkvega

~ my more focused soloprenuer+developer takes will land here with you

can we catch up late game and build something great?

let's find out 🏴‍☠️

@nikitabier ok that country notation is the one change I can get behind;

if you can optionally show the flag on their profile so I dont have to click 3 layers in to find where theyre larping from would be a dream.

Today is America's 250th birthday.

1 year ago, I became of citizen of the USA.

America is the one place where chasing your crazy idea makes people root for you. Whatever the idea is.

A startup nobody asked for. A pop-punk band at 30. A weird little product you can't stop thinking about.

You say it out loud here and people get excited and ask how they can help. That's the magic.

Other places I've lived, I've gotten torn town. Not here.

The USA celebrates you for going after the thing you actually want to build. 250 years in, the best thing America still gives you is permission.

Permission to try. Permission to reinvent yourself. Permission to believe you can do better than the people who came before you.

It isn't perfect. No place is. But I think it's worth celebrating.

Happy birthday to the best place on earth to build your dream.

I'm grateful to be part of it.

building is not about delivering the perfect product in one go

it's about the iterative process needed to discover what works and what makes sense

if building is iterative then there is nothing to fail at

@yacineMTB my paranoia runs deeper than what if daddy takes my ai away -- more like what if they take my compute away? ill drop any one of them in a heartbeat.

What do you think would happen if everyone except 'trusted enterprise' suddenly lost access to github?
