I'm convinced that the most impactful thing most people today can do for themselves is to simply get out of their own way.
A lot of us spend too much energy in analysis-paralysis, which leads to anxiety.
Action is the antidote to anxiety.

Problem: only a small subset of engineers perceive their careers the same way as athletes or musicians do. Most stop learning after graduating and focus only on learning concepts directly applicable to their current role.
Solution: Deliberate practice and well-defined goals.

Being extremely "goal-oriented."
That there's no "happily ever after." You don’t “sacrifice” your days to spend better days in the future. You live one season of your life to experience another one.
Achieving goals is still obv fun but I've learned to enjoy the process too.

most of my friends who moved to the usa for grad school have now left the country since they couldn't get h1-b. most chose to move to the UK, europe, or canada.
at this point, it's basically impossible to get a PR unless you marry an american citizen.

the ability to articulate what you think and how you feel with certainty exemplifies patience and commitment to growth;
being vague with desires and goals frees us from accountability and ultimately lands as avoidance.
it is increasingly rare and beautiful to be decided.

Having witnessed a similar curve (15 → 50) in the last three months, I'd add —
Having an internal guide to communication; it's critical to keep everyone on the same page while making sure the ↑ communication overhead isn't eating away at your teams focus time.

Self-help actually distracts you from moving forward.
I've noticed an ever-increasing number of people using it as a shield to insulate them from taking any action.

I wrote about the lessons learned since my startup went under at the end of last year.
At first, it was debilitating — the failure. And it felt like the world coming to an end. But since then, I've had some time & distance to process things.

The quickest way to become an expert is to reduce the time btw action and feedback.
The faster the feedback, the faster you can learn.
A few ways to get fast feedback that I know of:
1. Having mentors/coach
2. Building in public
What are some other examples?

it got worse after the 2016 gov since the USCIS temporarily rejected more than half of the applications (RFEs).
they also reduced the app cost for h1-b and allowed multiple applications which meant a single co. would have 3-4 apps for 1 person which meant the odds got worse.

the problem is also that of aesthetics.
accelerationists fail to paint an optimistic view of the future, and dystopian cyber scapes just recapture current soulless tech hellscape.

- write your solution by hand before you implement it. it'll help you retain concepts and become more precise in your thinking.
- focus on the fundamentals — learn things like recursion, call stack, bit operations, etc.
- learn to google
- build stuff; don't just read books

Why isn't there a tiktok x job listings app?
Most job listings are very static and give the candidate little idea about what the company is like, what they'll work on, and are usually full of buzz words.

A biggest mindset shift that has happened this year for me 👇🏼
"You aren't a passive observer of your life. You must actively participate to build the future and see your place in the world as someone who can create better futures."
Elon Musk is convincing me I've underestimated how big of an impact a single determined individual can have on the world even without political power.

I see so many of my friends going down the management route, but I fear if I stop building and become a manager, I'm gonna lose my skills. Sure, I'll learn management, but I think I derive a lot of joy from simply creating.

Building a culture of writing and extension documentation is an intimidating task for distributed teams that a lot of founders underestimate.
But once writing becomes a part of your culture, it enables you to move faster than startups that depend on synchronous communication.
