growing up hit me the hardest this year
years and years of learning to take care of myself and yet i found myself feeling down, feeling bad, feeling unpleasant, feeling tired, feeling old
so much life i still cannot handle
so much life is still about taking it day by day
Working on longer posts with various thoughts from Devcon. But in short…
- It’s always about the people. What a delight seeing so many friends again, optimism and dedication flourish even in hard times. Filled with gratitude rn. 🫶
- What if all software were consensual? Do the people you’re “onboarding” know what they’re getting themselves into? Blindly agreeing to T&C doesn’t count…
- Nuance is inevitably tricky for human minds to comprehend. It will always be tempting to follow vibes and b&w tribes. We must push back at these tendencies to build resilient civilizations. If the people around you all agree on something, let alone everything, something is wrong. Seek disagreement and critical discussion.
- Play long-term games. Don’t swarm someone for 5 seconds of their time. It’ll never serve your goals. I promise.
