Let me live up to the (signer) in my name for once

[Señor Dev @ndmhjt]

Just finished 5 seasons of Entourage and because i have no one to talk to about this i'll talk to everyone.

One thing that HBO does well is not make bullshit, and how this debauchery laden show ended up being one of the greatest character development showcases i've come across in a long time is BEYOND me, but man have i learnt some stuff from this show.

Few quick takeaways:
- Ari is the best character on the show (for now)
- Johnny Drama is a LOSER
- Lloyd is a better man than me for being able to put up with Ari for so long
- It is fully possible to fail upwards for the rest of your life as long as you don't stop trying

Now my actual depth takeaways, surprisingly i've learnt a lot from this show and for one thing i'm grateful to God i didn't find this show when it first aired, it would have ruined my life -- maybe positively, who knows?

Lessons learnt:
- Opportunity is fickle, it comes in droves and then it dries up, be very careful not to be ready only when the well is dry
- Keep the faith, be delusional if you have to, but don't keep the faith sitting down, move mountains in pursuit of what you want, try , fail, try, fail, and try again
- Co-dependence in more way than one can ruin your life, love your friends but don't lose a sense of self
- Always go where you're respected, even if not externally, at least internally
- Do not let selfish dreams cloud your desires or blind you from seeing the truth, always be open to a contrary opinion
- Do not sacrifice love or personal relationships in the name of your career, or at least don't do it more than twice
- If you are good to people sometimes they'll be good to you back, but you can't expect it all the time, sometimes be good because you want to be good
- Believe in yourself and listen to yourself, if you need another voice, go to those you trust only ever want the nest for you
- Take breaks and heal between big moves, don't let the pursuit of money hurt your craft or your love for it
- Listen to those who know more than you, but don't let them silence you
- If you don't believe in yourself and your ability it will show itself even when other believe in you, always believe in yourself, and if you don't have the confidence never be afraid to do little things to stack evidence
- Never get shiny toy syndrome, always be objective when assessing new opportunities
- Be good to those around you, never take them for granted
- Sure things don't come around often , take advantage of them every once in a while at least

That's a good chunk of what i have right now, i will try to update my list of takeaways when i watch more

@markwahlberg , thank you

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Christopher Nolan’s Tenet is a better movie than Interstellar

Something that has always fascinated me about some kinds of success is the fact that it happens in the present for the successful person, and when it does, do they know at the moment that this is it, this is the thing that will make them successful.

I think for example about Inde Navarette, and her making Obsession 2 years ago, did she know in that moment that when this movie releases it would change her life? A Mavo as well, when he was making money constant did he know how massive the song would get?

I try to answer this question on behalf of all the examples i can think of and the only thing i can assume is that for everyone, the answer is simply, no.

I don't know if there is anyway to actually know when the turning point or defining moment of your life/career happens, the only thing i know is that nothing happens if you don't do anything.

Asake released music incessantly not knowing which one would rake him to stardom, even investors by and large don't every know which startup they invest in will become a unicorn.

The only thing i see that's consistent between stories is reps and actually taking chances. Saying yes to opportunities and creating multiple things without knowing which will. pan out is the only way for something to actually pan out.

It's insane, a lot of books i've read have stated that the owner of the success is successful before the rest of the world acknowledges it, and it's not even the acknowledgement that makes the success real, but it's what makes it known.

I think it's just magical, that whatever you're doing right now in this period, is what could change your life and the lives of those around you forever, and without any way of knowing if this is it , you have to keep on regardless.

Effort for its' own sake can lead to success, but there can never be success without effort.

Whatever you're doing i hope you gain the strength to keep at it honestly and earnestly, one day you could look back and realize that that extra rep you did or that extra yes you said, was what changed everything.

My current passion project is a language app and what i'm realizing in my 3rd iteration is: there is no real way to build a singular app for learning multiple languages.

The beautiful thing about languages is how different they are. The pedagogy used for a language like Spanish cannot be used for a language like Indonesian.

A unique approach is needed both ways and that's why i think the current language learning app landscape is a bit flawed because no one has found a good way to address this.

I'd argue that there are even no current language learning apps that actually teach. Gamification is the name of the game and the more addictive you can make your app in terms of dopamine hits per second, the larger your market share gets, but in the process the plot is lost. It's no longer about teaching, it's about pandering and satisfying.

A person starts a language learning journey for a real reason, even if trivial it's usually honest.

On their first day they learn about 10-15 words and feel "Wow so i'm really learning this, this feels great". By day 15, they have more words under their belt but can hardly construct real meaningful sentences, do they even know how to construct sentences or can they just say "I want coffee with milk".

By day 45 there is a false sense of mastery and a dishonesty about consistency.

You notice their language change from "I know 60 words in this new language and can order food" to "I have a 45 day streak and i'm trying to reach a 100" -- doing a great thing for a wrong reason.

I've tried it, i've tried a lot of these apps, i've kept streaks longer than 365 days, but i never felt like i knew more than i did when i got a language learning textbook 8 years ago.

It was a big textbook and i never got past the first 30 pages but that was more than i learnt after using one of these apps for more than a year.

I knew it was all broken, i tried more and more and more and more apps but i was still never confident -- or fluent -- enough to strike up conversations anytime i was with a native and this frustrated me.

I always wanted to build a solution for this -- i was a developer after all -- but i never felt i had the know-how or the time --still don't have either tbh -- but i just decided to attack it with Claude Code and honestly it's been really fun.

Like i said it's a passion project so it's just something im doing on the side but i really feel like what i'm building is what real aspiring multilingual people have been looking for and i can't wait to share more when i can.

PC is miserable. And if you think otherwise that's probably because you've dealt with troubleshooting so much you're now desensitized by it.
