Advice from the young C.S. Lewis: "Keep clear of introspection, of brooding, of spiritualism, of everything eccentric. Keep to work and sanity and open air – to the cheerful & the matter of fact side of things. We hold our mental health by a thread: & nothing is worth risking for it. Above all beware of excessive day dreaming, of seeing yourself in the centre of a drama, of self pity, and, as far as possible, of fears.”

Building software by prompting agents without ever reading or editing the code directly isn't actually a new thing. It's just called being an engineering *manager*. We have decades of experience about how to be effective as engineering managers. It is a different skill, though.

5,000 years ago, Indian sages figured out that sexual energy and spiritual energy are the same force at different frequencies. Called it Virya -> Ojas -> Tejas; Seed -> Vitality -> Radiance. Virya = sexual/vital fluid. Takes 30 days for your body to produce. Most potent substance you make. When wasted: -> depletion, fog, anxiety When transformed: -> Ojas (immunity + radiance) -> Tejas (intelligence + inner fire) -> Prana (life force, spiritual power) This energy is the most powerful thing in the human body. Learn to work with it. Not against it.

When a woman intentionally becomes annoying, difficult, dramatic, chaotic, or slightly insufferable around the man she loves, she is trying to locate the edges of his nervous system. She wants to know where his composure ends, where his irritation begins, what kind of man emerges when she is no longer perfectly pleasant, convenient, soft, or easy to adore. This is why a woman will provoke the reaction she is terrified of receiving. She wants reassurance, but she asks for it through disturbance. She wants to know if his love survives friction, if his patience has structure, if his affection collapses the moment she becomes harder to hold. But this is also where many women become spiritually careless because testing a man constantly can become emotional vandalism. A good man's steadiness should be honoured and the peace should be maintained after a certain point. The best men can remain calm, see through the performance, refuse to be emotionally hijacked, and still draw a boundary with love. He does not punish you for being chaotic, but he also does not let your chaos become how the entire relationship is directed

IMO the most common thing that blocks people from achieving their potential is not regularly asking for help and advice. This is often caused by an influx of pride. I've seen this trait, which is not immutable btw, in so many founders that I've worked with.
