@nicholasychua Incredible work Nick! Expecting... 1. a quoted retweet of your tweet 2. a reply to my comment haha Excited for more articles to come!

Go join @jestonlu!! I still remember hopping on an 1h call with Jeston when he was feeling distraught about struggling to find his people among 1,000+ exchange students. Become your own magnet. And he did.

We’re treating humans as homogeneous and interchangeable units of labor. Valued entirely for our outputs and marginal productivity. I was frustrated too, but I’m learning to throw away the negative emotions. In Buddhism, there are three poisons: greed, anger, delusion. These are the main sources of our sufferings. Holding these emotions is like picking up a hot coal to throw at someone else. (1) It’s bound to hurt someone (2) You burn yourself first I remembering feeling an indescribable anger that my childhood dream job (a SWE -- surprise surprise) was to be eliminated in a few years. It’s as if all my years of trekking through my most despised courses was all destined for unemployment. And that’s why I believe… Following your passion has never been so important! When you love what you do, work feels like play (-> Ikigai). We humans love playing, which feeds into the cycle of play -> validation (external/internal) -> more motivation -> more play. This gives you two more superpowers: (1) Being adaptable/resilient Even when things do go south, you will find yourself naturally pivoting or fighting deeper into your special niche. None of these - which are work to others - would be work to you! (2) Being unique Everyone is built a little different, some have undiscovered musical talents, others are natural skiers. If you followed your passions and allowed them to expand or change as the journey goes on, you will find yourself with a unique skillset from everyone else. Instead of being frightened, I think we should be excited! For the first time in history, with falling barriers to entry, you’re about to be valued for being special! We should all be super excited :)

Read Antarctica by Claire Keegan. It’s the story of a housewife who willingly strays in search of a thrill, but finds herself in far more danger than she expects. The clacking coin machine, the deaf woman downstairs. All of it makes the danger visible to us readers before it happens, leaving us with dread until the very last moment. Reminds me of Hitchcock’s “bomb under the table” analogy. If a bomb suddenly explodes on set, the audience experiences a few seconds of shock. If the audience is told ahead of time, the anticipation creates sustained suspense and stretches the fear across the entire scene. - Now imagine your own life as a stage show where you’re both the main character and the audience. When you begin mentally predicting your own failure (= spotting the bomb under the table), the dread begins immediately, and you suffer long before anything actually happens. But if you don’t rehearse the disaster (= remaining ignorant of the bomb) and simply face it when it arrives, the pain is brief; it hits and passes. (Descriptions remind me of recent Vancouver weather. Foggy + spooky; a massive fan myself)

@MarvinTai28672 Great stuff!!

3 sleepless nights building an app for the #RevenueCat Shipyard: Creator Contest. and I just submitted on TestFlight. it's called Taro 🐢 — a social app for van lifers to find each other on the road. the crazy part is i built this in 3 days. onboarding, paywall, map, matching, messaging — all of it. at 2am i was debugging why my paywall kept showing up AFTER people already paid. turns out it was a race condition between react state and revenuecat's SDK. fun times. speaking of — revenuecat honestly saved me. i designed my entire paywall in their dashboard in like 20 minutes. their SDK handled receipts, restore purchases, cross-device sync, all the stuff that would've taken me weeks to figure out on my own. went from zero to working subscriptions with free trials in one night. wild. 3 sleepless nights building an app for the @RevenueCat Shipyard: Creator Contest just got approved on testflight 🐢 it's called taro — helps van lifers find each other on the road built the whole thing in 3 days. at 2am i was debugging why my paywall showed up after people already paid lol honestly revenuecat saved me. designed the paywall in their dashboard in 20 min, their SDK handled the rest. went from zero to working subscriptions in one night looking for beta testers — dm me for the link #RevenueCat #Shipyard #buildinpublic #vanlife 🚐

@sohumgautam @Seda_AI_ let’s go sohum!!

@rauchg Longevity mix powder could trigger that positive perpetuating cycle though. Live longer -> more time with family, friends + quality work -> live healthier, live longer ->

Immortality is attained by having children, leaving the world in a better place than you found it, and pushing the human frontier. Not by drinking “longevity mix powder”.

Can’t tell if negotiating my college bill = new high or new low 🐁

@jestonlu @colossusmag @patrick_oshag This guy's on fire - endorsing all the way

One Colossus shot. One conviction. Hey @colossusmag @patrick_oshag – I'd love to work with your team. Here's my pitch:

@MarvinTai28672 you might enjoy this read! substack.com/home/post/p-17…

day 5: no code had a convo that made me question everything we talked about IRL connection vs digital. and how as AI handles more digital stuff, real human connection becomes scarce. i'm building an AI climbing coach that analyzes technique but maybe the AI isn't the product. maybe it's just the hook to get climbers to connect and train together IRL. digital = abundant in-person = rare and valuable question: are we all building the wrong stuff? optimizing for screen time when we should be building apps that get people OFF their phones? some days you ship some days you realize you might be shipping the wrong thing today was a step-back day what do you think - in-person consumer apps the next wave?
