I make a living solving problems. I realize there's roughly 5 levels of difficulty. I use that as a way to allocate my energy accordingly.

It be funny if I hit over and beyond my remote working + money and free time + fitness goals in the next 9 months than in all the 10+ years previously achieved combined
the stuff you joke about (even ironically or whatever) has a way of shaping your reality so be careful and deliberate with that stuff. a lot of people out here fumbling their own bags by joking about outcomes they don’t want. you might as well joke about the outcomes you do want

I finally sold the condominium that I am staying in last night, after 6 months! But I have sold it at a $20K loss despite my best efforts to market it. Here are 6 things to avoid in choosing a property in Singapore for capital appreciation:🧵

Developers sitting in meetings and fixing CSS bugs all day: "Funny how I get paid for this" Developers working on open-source software that thousands of companies and developers depend on: "Funny how I don't get paid for this"

This is the greatest 5 minutes of storytelling of all time. 10 years later and I still get inspired by it.

Don't get frightened by not knowing things. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything. There are many things I don't know anything about. It doesn't frighten me.

Designers spent the first two decades of the internet trying to make everything easy and fast. We’ll spend the next decade figuring out how to slow people down and make things harder.

There is a crushing undersupply of people in the world who can pursue an arbitrary goal for two years, particularly in the absence of a well-trod social script for pursuing that goal.

Internet fist bump to the entrepreneur who, in April 2017, asked me how to go about doing an extremely ambitious company and who has sent 2 years worth of updates titled: $COMPANY: $MONTH $YEAR The last one: "We did it! Finally have $NUMBER in the bank!" (Now the work begins.)

You can invent incentives but not new behaviors. Building failed products has taught me this one hundred times over.
