You lost the girl, But you saved your future. Dear son, You won. Trust me.

Nobody teaches you this when you join a company. Learn it the hard way or learn it now: 1. Your manager is not your friend. They are evaluated on your output, remember that always 2. The loudest person in the meeting rarely has the best idea but always gets the credit 3. Never tell HR anything you would not say in front of your entire leadership team 4. The person who documents everything wins every single dispute without exception 5. Lunch alone is not antisocial. It is survival. Not every colleague deserves your time 6. Your loyalty to a company will never match what they will cut in a bad quarter 7. Learn the name of every person in IT, security and admin. They run everything quietly 8. Never send an angry email. Draft it, sleep on it, delete it entirely in the morning 9. The first person to speak in a crisis meeting usually takes the blame for the crisis 10. Promotions go to visible people not just competent ones. Competence alone is not enough 11. Every reorg is an opportunity. Most people panic. Smart people position themselves early 12. If your skip level knows your name for good reasons you are already ahead of most people 13. The meeting after the meeting is where actual decisions happen. Get in that room always 14. Never volunteer information in performance reviews that your manager did not already know 15. Your reputation travels three companies ahead of your resume. Protect it like your salary 16. Whoever controls the calendar controls the power. Watch who schedules what carefully 17. Being indispensable and being promotable are two completely different things entirely 18. The colleague who agrees with everything in meetings is reporting everything outside them 19. Know your number before your annual review. Walk in knowing exactly what you will accept 20. Your exit interview is not therapy. Say nothing real. They share everything with everyone

BRO, Don't be too nice. The street is full of users, they will use you.

As a man, work on how you react when you feel disrespected.

If a girl ghosts you, fulfill her wish: Never speak to her again. Be a ghost, son.

Stay away from women who grew up watching their mother run the entire house while their father had no voice, and no respect. If she never saw the man of her house being valued, supported, or honored... don't expect her to magically treat you with respect. She'll repeat the dynamic she was raised in - talking over you, dismissing you, competing with you, or trying to lead you A man who ignores this ends up paying the price. Choose wisely.

The most dangerous person is the one who has stopped giving a shit. A person who has realized that nobody cares. People will judge anyway. So they don't perform. They don't lie about who they are. They are unapologetically themselves. No matter what people think. Flawed. Imperfect. Whatever. They cannot be controlled by opinions. They just don't care. Accept them for who they are. Or leave. They're fine with both.

I fell in love with this quote: "How can one come to know oneself? Never through observation, but through action. Try to fulfill your duty and you will know at once what you are."

You are a Man 1. Not valued → Step back. 2. Betrayed → Forgive, then move on. 3. Insulted → Outwork them. 4. Disrespected → Walk away. 5. Taken for granted → Remove access. Your worth isn’t negotiable. Make people earn your presence.

Behavioral game theory shows that people treat their opponents as less intelligent. They expect them to be precisely one level below them. And that assumption ruins all leverage. Prioritize finding out whether your opponent actually plays strategically or acts irrationally. If you prepare for strategy but are confronted with irrationality, your plays become suboptimal at best. That damage has ruined careers before.

Fuck two weeks man. you can learn anything in an hour. In an hour. PhD level questions don't mean shit. You can learn anything in an hour. The experts will love you for it. Ask the stupid questions man. Don't worry. Be courageous. Courageous enough to be retarded

2026 The Year for the Men

i didn’t find spirituality in books or teachers. i found it in chaos, in mistakes, in falling apart so many times i lost count. every time i rebuilt, i became wiser. every time i broke, something in me stopped being afraid of breaking. my darkness didn’t guide me gently. it dragged me through every version of myself i needed to destroy. it showed me things no teacher ever could. i wasn’t taught spirituality. i was forged in it and the fire never once asked if i was ready.

I work as a Quant Dev at BlackRock writing C++ all day. I have used Opus 4.6 and using it is like having a coding god right at your fingertips. What's even crazier is that it helps me not just in highly optimised low latency code but even in finance and math. If Opus is 53.4%, and Mythos reaches ~80%, then software engineering is officially solved.
