What do others think?!

Noah Kagan, from AppSumo, once tweeted: >Don't let yourself become paralysed by the fear of what others think. In reality, they're not even thinking about you. They're too busy thinking about themselves. It reminded me of a recent conversation I had with my

Success?

>Success is feeling good about the work you do throughout the long, unheralded journey that may or may not wind up at the launch pad. - **Chris Hadfield, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth** This quote resurfaced today on my Readwise. It made me think about

We do not see what we do not expect to see

Another of the nuggets shared by Dave Snowden in his youtube talk. He talked about an experiment where a group of radiologists were given a batch of x-rays to look for anomalies. In one of the x-rays, they hid the picture of a gorilla, which was 48 times the size

Complex Systems

I rewatched a video from 2016 again this morning, and I felt so in sync I want to stop and take notes. I told myself I would let it run and I will take everything in. That I would later find the time to rewatch it and take notes to

1000 knives

Sometimes the frustration of ineptitude can make you want to stop. The unskilled will succumb to their old ways and not try anymore. I should know. I have been there. These past 5 days have been frustrating for not being to articulate in code what I want to create. It

A full day of code

I didn't see this one coming. So as I said yesterday, I ended up taking the day off. I woke up quite late actually (07:40) and after taking the kids to school and drinking my first coffee, I was at my home office desk at around 08:

The power of consistency

It's only been a few days since I started working consistently on DfE again, and I can already feel it. Even the smallest of improvements feels like progress. It's a good feeling. Today I spent quite some time converting the hard-coded category cards into dynamically generated

Embracing the suck

Every time I have tried to get back to coding, I have found excuses to quit. The thing that creates the most nerve racking moments for me has always been the frontend. I have a good eye for design. But somehow I guess it's down to practice. I
