“I don’t have talent, so I just get up earlier.” — Henry Rollins

he cant break it, the assists record us cursed.. for hereee??? get in!!!!! brunooo. el capitano!

life hacks every man should learn and do at least once a year 1. wake up early on a saturday and take yourself out for breakfast. dress clean, smell good, go somewhere calm and order a proper meal. no rush, no pressure. just sit, eat slowly and enjoy the moment. take a few selfies too even if you usually don’t. 2. book a decent hotel room in your city for one night. nothing too expensive, just comfortable. carry a small bag like you’re escaping life for a bit. order food, take a long shower, put your phone away for some time and rest properly. learn that peace is the luxury. 3. take yourself to the cinema alone. buy popcorn. pick the exact seat you actually want. think deeply, laugh hard, cry if you need to, feel whatever you feel, no one talking to you. just you and the movie. 4. go to a café on a weekday, order a drink and a small pastry. sit by the window and face your phone down for a bit. watch people going to work, students rushing, cars passing, birds singing, children playing, just life moving in that pace. 5. take yourself somewhere peaceful outdoors. maybe a park, a quiet road, a waterfront or anywhere with fresh air. walk slowly with music in your ears or just enjoy the silence. clear your head a little. 6. learn to genuinely enjoy your own company, brother. if you can be happy alone, you become harder to break, harder to pressure and harder to control. 7. enjoy yourself man. come on, you need it, you deserve it. save and bookmark this share to men who needs the reminder buena suerte 👍

I have developed a rule of thumb for when it's best to code by hand. If I don't understand the problem super well, I'll start digging in with an agent and gaining familiarity. However, if after 10-15 minutes of prompting, the solution isn't something that I feel I could implement myself, it's time to go do it by hand. I do it the way I did pre-AI. Finding the relevant code, reading and understanding it, and trying out various ideas. Usually when I'm about 30-50% done, the system is mapped out really well in my mind, and all that remains is execution. Then I'll write up a detailed spec and ask the agent for feedback. It almost always finds edge cases I didn't consider and "gets" where I'm going with it. I let the agent take it forward and also have it do the things I usually don't have patience for, like TDD and running all the tests and whatnot. The grunt work. What's nice is that I am fully qualified to review the code afterward and, not only that, any future agentic work on that system is easier. I understand it better because I did the manual work. It's still really fast and it makes future work faster. It's this kind of hybrid human + agent workflow that makes me feel superhuman.

this. yes, this.

Tragically I am continuing to find that the most effective guardrail against slop is extremely talented engineers doing very thoughtful, human code review

@dev_felz wowza, everything they said about some 'heroes not wearing capes'. :))

This is the most random story I’ve heard. Also forgot to mention that I met the person that directed me to where I learnt tech while selling in a provision shop.

@dev_felz yeah, can absolutely relate.

@TheOrangeBro Oh I get it. While in school whenever I used to go to the plaza, I’d always want the shop with a fast typist….saves time

working at a 'business centre', a customer admired my then >=80wpm typing skills, and nudged me towards programming. i became relentlesssly curious since then.

@dev_felz not a chance :) it was the business' major advantage over competitors then, so i needed to keep it sharp.

@TheOrangeBro This is the most random story I’ve heard. Thanks for sharing. Just curious, do you still type that fast while coding?

🚀 Today, I'm officially launching @ArushaWealth , a registered and regulated financial planning & wealth management firm for immigrants and children of immigrants building their American Dream. Over the past 18 months, I've directly helped 300+ people get their green cards & indirectly helped so many more. But there’s one reality we keep seeing: that's just the beginning of the journey, not the end. We arrive with ambition & do everything right: we get into top schools, earn valuable degrees in the right fields, build strong careers & earn well, only to realize over time that high income doesn’t always translate into high net worth or lasting wealth. You're earning well but you see how much goes to taxes You're not sure how much should go to paying off your past student loans and how much to investing for your future You have family obligations back home that you can't ignore & you're not sure how to manage this without sacrificing your own goals Without a clear long term plan, you wake up down the line & realise you are stuck - permanently dependent on your paycheck to maintain the lifestyle you have. This is not the American Dream we came here for. We have officially launched @ArushaWealth a financial planning & wealth management firm for immigrants and children of immigrants in the United States. Built on my experience as a wealth advisor at Goldman Sachs Family Office, along with my training as a Certified Financial Planner® and my MBA from Columbia University, Arusha helps individuals & families put structure around what comes next through comprehensive financial planning, tax planning, investment management, and legacy and estate planning. I've worked with some of the wealthiest American families and seen exactly how wealth is built, protected & passed down in the U.S. With Arusha, our focus is on bringing to immigrant families that same level of planning and the opportunity to build lasting prosperity. Our clients so far include startup founders who have raised over $10M, and professionals across tech, finance, and law, including Microsoft, Amazon, the World Bank, private equity, and Big Law. 👉 If this resonates, feel free to reach out here: arushawealth.com/contact And if you’d like to stay in touch & receive occasional updates and guidance, you can subscribe to our newsletter here: immigrantmillionaire.substack.com This is just the beginning. I’m excited to work with the next generation determined to build lasting wealth.
