White developers tend to be the most likely to unfollow (usually most easily annoyed by discussions of equity) Natural consequences create natural outcomes.

A lot of life is governed by who you know. This results in a lot of boredom for most people.

One of the reason why someone like Charlie Kirk has more influence over Latino votes than Latino influencers is because, despite disagreeing with Charlie, his politics is not rooted in cowardice.

I remember when I first joined nostr, I commented how it felt like old school world of warcraft. I spend a lot of time on short-form social media apps because that's where my target audience is, but now I know why I made that comparison. Many games returned to classical versions because the first principles of many of those MMORPGs were good, but much of those realms depended on social energy and interactivity. They were worlds you could do things in, but with other people. Over time, gamers aged and needs changed. So they added more tools to make it more welcoming for busy players, but this eventually took away from the hard-earned interactivity of previous eras. You could just press a button to queue up with others using matchmaking systems and things of that sort. Social media experienced this with recommended content and feeds. People still interact, but in a way where others aren't needed, or are taken for granted.

People have been saying AI will replace software engineers for 2 years now. So in 2 years, if it doesn’t happen, it’ll be 4 years that folks have been promoting fear and uncertainty. And by that 4 years, it’ll be 7 years that many folks found the motivation to look for remote jobs but never acted on it.

A lot of people are waking up to the reality that selling the dream that you can replace a software developer to build your ideas is a scam.

New onboarding experience

I wish the button on the right was an App Store

There are few things more valuable than independence and an earned reputation

Being an honest character is pretty noble because it requires a recognizable amount of sacrifice. I think I hated social media for a while because it’s so easy to skip steps on projecting your character. There’s so much to gain if you just say and show the things people want to see and hear. But eventually the scale tips, you can project your character the right way, and have your conscience at rest too.

Learning about web push notifications today. Pretty cool.

Being unfollowed by nostr devs is kinda whack honestly but whatever

Shipped a scholarship searching agent for a scholarship tracking platform. Still needs a little work and maybe some deeper engineering in the future but pretty cool honestly.

I feel like the correlation between sales jobs and drug abuse is relevant. I’ve never hated my life more until entrepreneurship mostly became a matter of sales.

I’ve created a new onboarding flow for my education app. Most people (these days) on social media want people to sell them a dream, usually a lifestyle and salary, which pressures edtech creators like myself to become gurus and coaches. Many people recognize that playbook as dishonest or shallow. Additionally, edtech competes with social media for attention and retention, and edtech badly loses. This causes apps like Duolingo to feel like you’re learning, but it’s really just a game. So the promise is you’ll learn how to code in 30 days in a way that feels manageable - 3 questions per day. The reality is most people don’t make it past 20 seconds in a video, nor do they make it past 20 days of a 100 day journey. Likewise, people don’t make it past the first 20 questions in an education app. So 3 questions per day, with key insight and awareness provided before the journey ever starts.

I feel like I developed something really beautiful with nostr but I don't have the energy or spirit to promote. A lot of market stuff is honestly just some combination of luck, timing and consistency. Well either way, I'm pretty proud of what I've created even if it largely goes unseen.
