Beware people obsessed with outcomes instead of building outcome machines. Its worse than ever with AI, but these people existed before. Short term results above all else, etc. Don't fall into the trap. Invest in building strong fundamentals, invisible supports, and outcomes flow like water. An outcome machine.

I stopped following the “learn everything from basics first” approach a long time ago. Most of the time, it just gives you the dopamine of progress without actually pushing you.

Put yourself directly into advanced, hard things. Struggle. Get stuck. Break things.

Then DFS + backtrack whenever you realize there’s a fundamental you’re missing. Learn that piece, then move forward again.

This has worked every single time for me.

You don’t need to know everything before starting hard things. Hard things will tell you exactly what you need to learn.

The only real moat is giving a shit.

When I worked at Apple, I remember seeing code that was 15 years old. Every file had a comment at the top with the date and the author’s name. You’d open a file and read through it, sometimes touching a feature no one had touched in a decade.

Everything felt very permanent, like a house made of bricks. Everyone who made a brick put their name on it before slotting it into the house. Even in a massive company, you were proud of your bricks. Each one fit so satisfyingly into the bricks around it.

When someone was renovating a room you had worked on years ago, they’d reach out and say, “I found this brick with your name on it. Can you tell me what it was doing here?”

Sometimes old bricks would get taken out during a renovation, but they were usually kept in a pile in the corner to reuse in the future.

Now you can will whole houses and neighborhoods into existence. You don’t even see the bricks go in. They just tumble in from the sky. You walk into the new house and wave your hands to push walls back, throw up a chimney, or drop in a kitchen.

It's so fucking cool. But you forget what a brick feels like.

And it’s hard to know how sad to be about that. The houses are better, they go up faster, and building them increasingly feels like magic.

Still, every once in a while you miss holding a brick.

Do you guys want to know what durable objects are?

The name is awful but I can explain it to you. It's a really cool and unique architectural primitive, different than really anything else on the market.

Much people fail because they IQ too high.

My friend most smart. IQ = 175. She genius. She have world most greatest idea. But she choose not take action. I ask why? She give me 1,000 reason why idea maybe not work.

This give me wisdom. If her IQ only 95 and she have smart business idea, she take action because she do not see 1,000 reason why she fail in future. If she take action, maybe she be success! But her IQ so high, she not take any action.

My friend. Sometime, best take action. Do not worry how your idea be fail. Just take action. Even if you most high IQ, try make self low IQ for short time. Be dumb ass, then you be rich.

Absorb this dumb ass wisdom.

@Kennichiwaa How was your trip?

[Andrew Gazdecki @agazdecki]

Please chase your dreams so when you’re older you can say “oh well I tried” rather than “what if” because regret is heavier than fear of failure.
