self-overcoming is the tea.
i think we are often much more in our own ways than we realize. it's a shift from victim to creator mindset

my (newly revised) dream:
to run a tiny studio with a couple other hyper-creatives making super badass art + products + software + perhaps even music, whatever we want.
here is some sh*t i made to try to lure in the others 🎣

this is a better explanation of how to think about making software than i've heard from even career software engineers.
give this man a raise 👏 (he probably doesn't even need it)

i think most people will read this and think the medium of expression is how the interface is branded.
but it's not just style, the form of expression is HOW you approach a problem.
i think partiful is the perfect example.
it's event software. and yes, the UI is extremely decorative: mesh/glowy backgrounds, eccentric typography, colorful gradients, etc.
but it's a strong POV on what events are for.
you can tap into the guest list, drill into an attendee, and mark them as your "crush" 😂
the form of expression here isn't how it looks, it's an opinion on why people go to parties.
theoretically, every app can look exactly the same. and you can still apply this framing to how any software expresses it's opinion.

"the problem of making sure it works" AND the problem of KNOWING HOW TO FIX IT when it inevitably stops working (it will. it always will.)
it's shocking that software engineering has transitioned to 100% AI written in such a short time.
it's more shocking that somehow we, the SWEs, are all just continuing on as if nothing happened. It writes C++ better than I ever could, but the problem of making sure it works didn't magically disappear. we are just shipping enormously more volume at higher quality.

if we just used the waste heat from AI data centers to generate energy to power the data centers, we wouldn't have any of these problems.
are we all just idiots, or...?

what's yours?

what's yours?

This is. My favourite internet essay.
When I read it for the first time in 2018. Everything clicked in place and almost I’d say changed my life.
So much density and philosophical beauty in such short space. I reread it every year.

the right to make music for a living is earned by being good at things that have nothing to do with music
