as you mature, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

too many options with unworthy outcomes.

nothing rattles my cage more than playing a game i'm not sure i'll win. nothing excites me more!

[Isaac. @social0612]

@Babajiide i agree.

the problem with such narratives is people fall in love with the idea of potential, and what could be, instead of focusing on making the most of what they have right now.

every path has its bumps.

Fridays are refreshing, until you realize you just wasted another week.

Thank you father because everything I seek, I find

Besides enabling rapid growth, we want @stripe to be powerful and complete enough that headcount scaling is extremely efficient.

Cursor is a good example. Now at $300M, with a grand total of two people working on finance + payments.

Unpopular business opinion that works for YOU. Let’s hear it.

one of the painful unforced errors you can make in life is to be found guilty by association.

can’t mingle with pigs and not get stained (or influenced)

top tier risk in my opinion

People who study all the way to PhD level without any breaks for work experience fascinate me so much.

the more desires you have, the more difficult your life will get.

[Isaac. @social0612]

making mistakes is one thing. repeating it is a problem. having regrets in hindsight that repeated the same mistake is a bad experience. it’s a very shitty loop.

[Isaac. @social0612]

timely competence is one of the biggest wonders of self development. nothing beats the feeling of being presented an opportunity to do something you’ve spent a lot of time preparing for.

[Isaac. @social0612]

still amazed at how much gets done with a little actions and consistency. you're allowed to be tired and exhausted, but you'll never regret doing the things you said you were going to do.

[Isaac. @social0612]

are you a meaningful specific or wandering generality?

[Isaac. @social0612]

we don't talk enough about the downsides of picking and going all-in on a path too early.

[Isaac. @social0612]

you can just do things

@olukorede_ Don’t go! Stay 🙂

@_fine_peace_ Spec!!!

[Isaac. @social0612]

for most people, there are not a lot of options to get what you want.

because it's unpleasant doesn't make it wrong or faulty.

[Isaac. @social0612]

it's ironic how people ask for advice and help, then proceed to outrightly state preferences agasint what you would've offered them.

at this point, it's hard for me to tell you the truth.
