@retirementkeys yeah. you have to touch the work & fail until your hands know what to do w/o you telling them. it's the only way to really own the skill.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@GRITCULT reps solve almost everything. reality is fluid & volume is how you move it.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@systematicls if you treat a loss like a funny story for later.. you become very hard to stop.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@conductr_ yeah few minutes of feeling weird is nothing compared to the months of dragging it out. most ppl are just scared of a little friction.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@dantefofante treat advice like a buffet. take what works & leave the rest.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@AntifragileLGV can't lie to yourself on paper for very long. that friction is the only thing that separates a real thought from just having vibes.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@david_meszaros_ time is going to burn anyway. might as well have something to show for the smoke.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@BettermentTribe it's a slow way to hate your own life for no reason. i think lots of ppl treat it like a hobby when it's really just a way to lose your day & feel like you're behind.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@drgurner yeah & as soon as you stop looking for excuses you start finding levers.. it's a cold way to live but it works.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@BettermentTribe zero is no longer neutral. zero is now negative.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

your only real goal should be to stop trying to manifest agency in your head & start aggressively designing it as an ecosystem.

e.g. you have to ruthlessly prune your social diet of ppl who default to complaining, you have to curate an internet feed that only exposes you to high leverage proof of progress.. & you have to physically place yourself in rooms where taking massive action is just the baseline temperature.

building this social architecture is non-negotiable right now bc the friction of modern algorithm is perfectly tuned to extract your attention & render you a passive consumer. if you don't actively build the scaffolding, the default environment will quietly crush your momentum.

@josbjohnson reality is just a mirror of your standards. it's hard to ignore the work.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@edgaralandough yeah. & crazy how much flows your way just bc you aren't a headache to deal with. most things fall apart bc of friction. being the guy who shows up & does the job makes you the first choice for everything.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@CoachDanGo it's the true luxury. you spend your whole life trying to get money just to afford to live like a normal person again.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@SahilBloom yeah & simple things are the only things that scale. if the ordinary days feel like a waste you'll never stay in the game long enough to see the end.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@david_meszaros_ takes a long time to see the code you got was written by ppl who were also winging it.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@dantefofante making your own money ruins you for a regular job. seeing the cash hit your account bc of something you built is a wild feeling. it's like you realize you never needed a boss to tell you what you're worth.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@AntifragileLGV hardware fixes don't matter if the software is cooked. can't optimize your way out of the wrong direction.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@BettermentTribe the loudest thoughts in your head often have the biggest budget behind them. real conviction is quiet.

[sidrell @sidrelll]

@josbjohnson that's the only way to build taste. you have to make thousand bad things before you know what good feels like. there are no shortcuts to that internal calibration.
