Leaving Tech

I love connecting with people in: - Software Engineering / Tech / AI / Startups - Investing / Trading / Finance - Health / Fitness / Longevity Note: I connect with others by genuinely engaging.

@unusual_whales Genius! I've bookmarked this. My boss will discover on Monday how of a religious person I am.

"A software engineer was granted a religious exemption from using AI at work. Legal experts say others may follow now that the Pope has raised concerns about the tech's impact on humanity," per BI

@vivoplt "AI harness"

Recently spoke with a guy from Europe. Asked him about AI, AI infrastructure, and the job market there. He ignored every question and just sent me this image. Still not sure what he meant.

@AlyaBlt_ nothing really

What if we all agree to just stop using ai ? What can happen

@Invest_AndGrow Getting monetized should be easy for finance folks!

Tried very hard to get 500 verified followers. Then again tried very hard to get 5M Impressions. Then got monitized. Felt i will earn something. But last 2 times after getting eligibility for payouts, below minimum earnings hit. X is tough for finance persons !

@BuildurBrand_io Great post for growing on X.

If you want to grow on 𝕏, read this. My entire life is dedicated to engineering viral content and growing the biggest brands on this platform. My new article distills the #1 growth strategy I've used to bootstrap new accounts. Probably shouldn't have made this free...

@BuildurBrand_io I'm going to start implementing some of those tips. Thanks for sharing.

@trevhesinvests Wow, congrats! How is that even possible?

Did NOT expect to see this when I opened X today... 1.3k followers today ALONE - that's absurd! Thank you and welcome to everyone who recently started following! I've got a LOT of things in the works right now and I'm cooking up something massive LFG🚀

@MnFounder Uff, that's the tricker! You need a few viral posts!

@leaving_tech Yeah finnaly! But I'm waaaaaay too far from 5M impressions, I don't even have 200K 😅

Day 5 of my 2-week 1000 followers challenge. Slow day, but still moving: 706 total followers 510 checkmark followers ✅ The checkmark follower monetisation goal is done. Now the focus is simple: keep showing up and push to 1,000. Follow along if you're building too.

@Borg_Cryptos I cannot disagree with you, even if is not popular.

Bitcoin is useless. And people are starting to understand it.

@devonzuegel I haven't noticed such increase in quality tbh.

Is it just me or has Twitter gotten a lot more fun again recently? The quality of content on my feed the last few months is way better than it has been for years

@Antunes1 Those spend 10K/mo just in fuel.

And you think 10k/month is impossible

@ChrissGPT They hyped so much Mythos that it will deceive for sure

Which model are you most excited for ?

@SebsterSpeaks I'm always trying to quit, as my logo says.

If you didn't quit 𝕏 at least 10 times, you are not worthy of the Blue checkmark! Apologize and start quitting already!

@rand_longevity We need to survive about ~2 years more.

the next 700 days will change more than the last 70 years

@unkonfined Replying first. Posting second. Engaging with others is the only right way to use X.

If you’re only posting and not replying, are you even using 𝕏 right?

@koop0x seems easy put it in this way

$150k per year is just 500 users paying $25 per month btw

Same here. "Good" tech job, lovely family, etc. but extremely burned out and exhausted. Everything is super expensive. Anxiety and uncertainty is creeping up. There is always someone sick or something to worry about. No time to rest physically or emotionally. We're in survival mode.

I’m 35. In the prime time of my life. I’ve never been happier. And more exhausted. Beautiful wife and kids. Portfolio building. Banger career. Lovely house. At the same time: • High mortgage • Expensive food • No personal time • Working all the time • Worries about the future. • Sibling conflict mediation • Kid illnesses and doctor visits • Pressure to save for retirement • Zero uninterrupted couple time • New clothes for kids constantly • School and activity logistics daily • Homework supervision and battles • Sports practice and game shuttling • House repairs and upkeep demands • Endless chores laundry and cleaning • Sleep deprivation from night wakings • Constant availability and interruptions • Future proofing while handling present • Nonstop mental load of family planning • Weekend catch-up instead of recovery • Car maintenance on top of two vehicles • Emotional regulation for children and self • Guilt from divided presence and attention • Daily meal planning cooking and grocery runs Anyone else feeling it? -BP

@GuyTalksFinance Until it doesn't. We've lived the best decade of the stock market. We shouldn't extrapolate it to the future.

@RiddleSphere that's true, check on those friends from time to time

Some people carry others while quietly breaking themselves. The friend checking on everyone usually needs checking too.

@adamshuaib I'm okay to be in the top 10%

You can grind your way to the top 10% of most fields, but the top 0.1% works differently; it's reserved for people who've found their work so absorbing they've stopped noticing the grind at all. Tesla often forgot to eat. Edisons assistants said he couldn't understand why his employees got tired. He'd hammer at a problem for 30hrs, then look up confused that everyone had gone home and assumed they were sick. Buffett, in his nineties, reads 500 pages of annual reports a day for fun. People assume these people had super-human willpower, but they actually had a completely different relationship with effort; the effort in itself was the reward. Forcing yourself to work hard is exhausting, but not being able to stop is something totally different. The biggest rewards in life come to the people who don't experience hard work as work at all.
