If you're using AI all day and you're not making more money, it means you have the same problem you had before the AI: you're doing stuff that doesn't matter.

This is the real reason 99% of people don't get ahead. They don't know how to tell the difference between what's important and what's irrelevant. And just doing irrelevant things faster gets you the same outcome: nothing.

Except this time it cost you tokens.

Every design decision in software engineering is a compromise with unknown future requirements.

When you truly work for yourself, you won’t have hobbies, you won’t have weekends, and you won’t have vacations, but you won’t have work either.

I dreamed a thousand new paths… I woke and walked my old one. — Ancient Chinese saying

[Yifan @yifan_yz]

The human tongue is a beast that very few know how to control. It constantly struggles to break free from its cage, and if it is not properly trained, it turns against you and causes problems.

“It comes down to software that respects the user.”

It reminded me of a line from Code Simplicity: “The purpose of software is to help people.”

The user should remain the measure of every technical decision.

An incredible article on writing:

"If you don’t know what to learn, start writing. Not because writing is some shortcut your can’t stop looking for, but because writing teaches you how to think, how to learn, and how to inspire people to care about what you do."

It's too easy to fool yourself into thinking you did the reading when you really didn't retain or understand.

Most events have hidden variables: incentives, motives, accidents, incomplete records, selection bias, and unknown constraints.

[Yifan @yifan_yz]

People underestimate themselves and overestimate how long things take. You can do far more than you think, far better, and far faster.

Where are you going and why are you in such a rush?

An inch of movement is better than a mile of intentions.

What is the real goal?

The real goal is not to “beat the market.” The goal is to build wealth.

The real goal is not to read more books. The goal is to understand what you read.

Don’t let a proxy become the target. Don’t optimize for the wrong outcome.

You know why I’m proud of Ilia Topuria? I know that after the third round, continuing the fight was physically impossible for him, yet in the fourth round he left his heart and soul in the Octagon. He gave everything he had until the very end and sacrificed the greatest asset a person has - their health, during those final five minutes. No belt and no title can ever give you that. You either have that in you, or you don’t.

We all have bad days. After getting out of bed, we’ve probably all thought that everything would go exactly as planned, only to find that by the end of the day everything had gone terribly wrong. Some of us face those days inside four office walls, while others have to overcome them inside the Octagon, in front of a million cameras and a billion eyes watching.

No one knows what kind of mental battle Ilia went through over the past year or how he even made it all the way to the White House. Only he knows that. Everyone is wise when judging someone else’s war. We all have bad days. What matters is how we get back up and how we keep moving forward.

I truly believe that something big, something on a much greater scale, is starting now and no one is ready for it.

Those who take pleasure in someone else’s defeat will never truly enjoy their own victories and the vultures know best when to attack a wounded lion and circle around it.

You are a son of Georgia to be proud of and you always will be, Ilia. You are the one who gave us our first taste of championship glory and then spoiled us twice over. You set the standard so high that anything below it simply no longer surprises us.

Pipo will be back.

One of the hidden benefits of reading old books is that they rescue you from the arrogance of the present.

@Topuriailia hiciste todo lo que pudiste en el training camp y dentro del octógono te dejaste el corazón. Te deseo una pronta recuperación. Estamos todos contigo. Eres nuestro orgullo, en las victorias y en las derrotas 🌹

The fastest way to turn into a NPC is to fill every moment of stillness with audio books, podcasts, CEO interviews, tweets, threads, and YouTube videos.

The fastest way to turn into the Main Character is to spend more time in stillness and give yourself 4 hours to create.
