They took him to a big metal pull barn that was the size of a hangar. Inside the air was cool and dry like they were air conditioning and de-humidifying all day, everyday.
Their footsteps echoed across the empty space. He thought of how his ex girlfriend would obsess over demarcating...

Outsourcing dirty things
The reason why so many founders are finding success in
B2B
SaaS
is because of how slow incumbent organizations move.
It's expensive to create the simplest of software within these established walls. You can't just get started hacking on the cheap as there's a bunch of bureaucratic boxes that need to...

Water -> Blood -> Urine
For all our drinking and cooking, we use
reverse-osmosis
water
. We get this through three three gallon refillable jugs that we take to our little grocery store. Most times we only refill two jugs at a time. Some days it's one. Rarely it's all three. But most times a...

Child of farmers
His parent were farmers. This taught him the value of food. Humbled him to fear the treachery of an empty belly paired to a hopeless heart.
See, having an empty belly wasn't a bad thing on itself. In fact he had gone many days not eating a single bite. So long...

What you value values you back
as reply to Managing your energy
I originally began this with the phrase in the old days, but this wasn't long ago time-wise. Instead I should use:
In the far days, I didn't know the value of respect. And when someone doesn't know something so deep and systemic, it's always the case that they don't know...

Backoffice Apps
I have a fetish with horribly designed, outdated back-office apps.
Maybe I can't claim they're horribly designed. That's too subjective .
How about instead: I have a fetish with established back-office apps that people often complain about. I would even guess that they love to complain about these apps....

Before the habit vs After
Before I forged a solid writing habit I took myself too serious.
I walked around with this pressure, a ticking time bomb. I needed to finish something meaningful, and I needed to do it soon.
My reason for wanting to write was grandiose and ego driven. I could only pull...

The 4th Decade
30s are tough from a lot of my reading. A lot of significant events tend to happen then. The one that becomes stressful is that you are expected to make very long term decisions. Like a partner, career, house and maybe even legacy :).

After the world shut down I began working from home.
It was kind of nice to not have to be anyplace. To dress however I wanted. To cook homemeals at my place and feed bits of it to my dog Toby. But the best thing I loved about working from home...

Who to impress
Even if we don't think we are, most of us live lives trying to impress virtual imaginations of how famous people would think about us.
How much time have we spent trying to mold ourselves into someone who would impress some famous designer? Or a CEO we admire? We watch...
