today is my last day working as a software engineer at google and tomorrow is my first day working for myself working for myself has always been my dream and while this could be a horrible decision if i never try, i'll never know because i'll be supporting myself, i plan on…
10,000 likes and i'll quit my software engineering job at google tomorrow
everyone thinks you're stupid until your idea actually works then you're a genius

it's amazing how much less stress you'll feel if you just sit down and do the work you know you need to letting it sit there and linger is what causes 90% of the stress most of the time
my psyche is hilarious i'm either thinking of absolute nonsense or deeply contemplating the most important philosophical life questions
something i wish i learned earlier in life is that you need to run your own race initially i think most people run the same race and are therefore able to easily draw lines comparing one another: what grades you get in school, what college you attend, how much money you make,…

as long as you're trading your time for money the amount you can make will always be capped
watching a twitch stream while coding is my happy place
just make a little bit of progress on what's important to you every single day

it's fun to be able to create content by using your own product i've already felt like posting through postwrite has helped me stay off of socials and stop losing time to doomscrolling and random notifications.
software engineers are some of the cockiest people i've ever met
the best part about building a product you need is that you deeply understand the problem you're solving.
The key to succeeding at 99% of things in life is consistency.
never let the thoughts of others stop you from doing and achieving the things you want to in life
what if i told you you could just work for yourself and make more in the long run and be happier right away?
the meta developer console might be the worst tool i've ever used
