I just look toward a spacetime coordinate when 20% of my income would be able to efficiently sustain my family and me so that I might be able to give away the 70% left to those who need it the most.
For life, as I see it, is to be lived in the infinite service of others.
3 Flutter apps. 30,000+ users each. Here's what building at real scale taught me 🧵
1/ Performance is the product. Users don't care about your architecture. They feel lag and they leave. We profiled every screen until 60fps was the floor, not the goal.👇🏽
Your app is ready… but Apple keeps rejecting it. 😤
Here are the sneaky reasons your submission is getting denied,
Save yourself weeks of frustration check these before hitting “Submit” again.
If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.
Built 'Spoof Kitchen' over the past few weeks, think Trello for content creators.
One platform to plan content, assign tasks, build storyboards, and post to all social platforms (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, IG, LinkedIn + more) from a single dashboard.
More creating, less app-switching. 🚀
Gyms don’t lose customers because of pricing.
They lose them because no one follows up.
I built a system to fix that.
1. Tracks members from signup to renewal 2. Flags expiring + expired users
3. Sends the right message at the right time
4. Prevents duplicate emails (cooldown logic)
5. Logs everything for visibility
I fell in love with this quote:
"No matter your age, you'll always wish you started younger, but today is the youngest you'll ever be. So start today."
And one major problem with knowing too much or seeing things clearly is that you lose the ability to participate in certain illusions that make life easier for everyone else.
Hi
I’m currently building Swype a platform that helps businesses manage incentives, vouchers, and engagement.
We’re running a private beta test and inviting a few startup owners and business operators.
It’s hybrid:

🌍 Virtual

Day 10,
If you’ve run operations, you’ll know this well. New leads come in as a CSV, someone downloads, cleans, and uploads it into the CRM. It’s time-consuming every week.
Instead of optimising, I removed the steps. I built an automation pipeline:
1. Accesses contact data from Google Drive.
2. Parses each row automatically.
3. Creates or updates contacts in HubSpot via API.
4. Eliminates manual handling.
What relied on memory now operates instantly and consistently.
I'm fascinated by this level of existential crisis developers seem to be going through.
The uncomfortable truth is nobody needs you to be an artisan coder.
Nobody cares about how you coded your app, or whether you feel an emotional attachment to your craft.
You were always code monkey with a high enough salary to believe that your individualist craftsmanship matters to anyone.
It doesn't matter to anyone but you. Not your employer, not your customer. Nobody cares about how you made the product. Nobody cares about your attachment to your process.
You're experiencing the same as countless other artisans have experienced in the last century.
I'm happy for you. You were starting to believe that you're a demigod amongst mortals.
You're not. A machine is better than you.
Now you're free.
