Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing RNDA
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...

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I have a fetish with horribly designed, outdated back-office apps.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 .

Actually not a single one of them I bet could tell you what they stayed for. I mean they'l give you their reasons, but do they believe themselves? If you look into their eyes as they ingest another puff of smoke do...

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 :).

801 Nathaniel

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...
