Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities personally & professionally? Like things just keep piling up? You’re not alone, but ask yourself: Are you really trying to make it work, or just stuck in the chaos? Read here: sieg.hashnode.dev/beyond-the-com… In my latest article, I share how to…

Didn't write a single line of code yesterday, not planning to today, after shipping all these on Friday. Users enjoy. Gotta rest.

A lot of people or clients out there are not employing you for your ability to write code, but your ability to think. If they wanna write code, AI can do that for them.
My code quality and thinking improved the moment I got some actual sleep. Was running on 2–3 hours for weeks and wondering why everything felt broken and not clear.
It’s always the ones who’ve never touched the pro versions of AI saying “AI is coding rubbish.” No, bro... you are. 😭💀 or your prompt skills are just mid💀
Solve problems before they become tasks. Address them early when you see them. This will save you a whole lot of time, stress, and resources in the long run......and they get annoying when they become tasks.
Most people don’t lack motivation. They lack a reason. Make your work make sense to you, and you’ll stop needing hacks to stay consistent.
You want to become smarter? Start writing. Not for others but yourself. Writing is thinking......in slow motion, which brings clarity.
Bookmarking that sh*t to satisfy your hustle conscience, knowing fully well that you won't go back to read it.
Being good at what you do isn't enough. If people can't see it or feel it, it doesn't exist.
You are not a generalist. You just leave things when the depth and details go beyond your interest and IQ.
Signs of a poorly architected app: You build new features that aren't related to old ones. The new features work, but the old ones break.
The ability to focus deeply is a real flex. In a distracted world, it's becoming rare. Which makes it lucrative.
