how we forget things over time is a blessing in disguise. imagine the world where painful memories stay forever. or, imagine one where happiness doesn't get diluted over time - we may stay content forever from a single mile stone, and not venture out more. the world we live in is very thoughtfully designed.
too many founders get fluff-trapped in the cliche. “build what the world needs” but, hear me out and fuck the world for a second. we will always have a probability of failing. it boils down to whether we potentially fail while we are pursuing something we love, or something we don’t give a fuck about.
“build what the world needs” is *mostly said by a lot of fluffy, noobass, insecure saints the real test starts when shit doesn’t work our for days, months, years, or decades. the only thing that can get us past that is our own genuine obsession. fuck the world, and just build what *you want.
iykyk. every time i spend time with my parents, i feel like a zealot recovering from home.
play store does it without having to download a testflight app and its much more seamless
i wish apple made testflight process easier. still not non-tech friendly
i’m either excessively talkative here one day, or just lurking. no inbtw. it’s a mood roulette each day
in mmorpgs, even though NPCs aren’t absolutely necessary, they play key roles in lubricating the game’s storyline. i think a lot about such angle for social apps. how can non-human users lubricate the social interaction across human users?
not yet but i been reading the manga up to date from the very first days. a must on a dreamer’s list
avicii's lyrics still pierce my soul. "life is a game made for everyone. and love is the prize." love really is the ultimate prize that makes it all worth it. it's mindfucking that the "game" cranks up its difficulty level randomly at times, but as long as we survive, we come out stronger.
but ignoring numbers is also foolish. 80% intuition and 20% numbers is my preference.
building consumer social products is a balancing act between numbers and intuition, but intuition is my weapon of choice. too many variables out there in the world. culture, competition, mood and beyond - makes it impossible to create a scientific formula for the grand jackpot. i'ma just let it flow. and believe.
"Life is a game made for everyone, and Love is the prize." - Avicii Building something about love is something I'm feeling in tune with today. My cells react to it. It's broad for now, but that's how it starts.
to pick myself up, cleaned and cooked first. gonna meditate then go to a new cafe. these are not “content” cast. these are my raw feelings/mood. feels much easier to do this in public here than x somehow. though i have more followers here than x, still feels like a friendly purple pond where it feels ok to do so.
social network centered around love life can be an interesting stab. on reddit, these subreddits are thriving. teens - about their crush 20s - dating life, funny tinder ss 30s+ - marriage life, dead bedroom issues thinking out loud. designing out loud. building out loud. crying out loud, rejoicing out loud.
remember to keep your chin up today. mine was tilting a bit downwards just now so a public self-reminder
in-person is the origin of magic. remote work is the same thing as long distance relationship in facetime. it lacks the human touch and magic required to birth something special esp. in the early days.
i meant in a figurative sense - not just writing, but any creative work
i personally doubt the promise of an instant, externally influenced unblocking of it, but everyone’s different i guess
writer’s block. how do you unblock it? i take walks. long walks. no guarantee that it gets unblocked buy it somewhat helps
