Imogen Howe was exiting the zone. For five hours she had driven nonstop. The same ten songs playing on repeat. She had felt like a machine the entire time. There was nothing that was going to stop her. She passed by each car smoothly. Hit no potholes. Hardly touched the...

Shark Swim
III

Although we couldn't ship features as fast as my friend's startup, in the end we outlasted them all while making more money. I remember him making him no money, their product spent over two years with no pathway to profitability in ever in sight.

Maybe I'm pessimistic, but I think I...

We specialized in web applications . There was actually a time when we considered going into desktop and native applications, but the demand for web apps was just too big that I guess my partner and I never even had the chance to decide. Our path was chosen for us.

We...

I

The 2010s feels like ages ago. Although counting the years, the number that has past is not so many.
 
I had still been in my 20s, barely, and the world felt a lot different. Especially mine.

I was still running a small software consultancy with one other owner, my business partner who...

Websites as reply to January 6th - Hosting Shutdown

He ran aΒ  hosting business on the side. Except for two months it never made money. But it wasn't a big deal because he needed to host websites for people, including himself and his family anyway.

He was old school, still "hosted websites". Anybody else still in the hosting game --...

Know as reply to .

Know. What you want.

So you don't need to feel tired all the time from doing something you think you want to do but don't.

Be willing to be wrong. So that when things don't feel right you don't need to make up stories for everything being okay. You can actually...

V. The first time around Imogen Howe didn't treatΒ  college seriously. She blamed herΒ  depression . This time it'd be different she said.

But she was still depressed. So she looked back again hoping for other reasons for her failure. With each recall she could't find anything unrelated to herself and...

She thought she might be able to be aΒ  barista forever. So long as she owned the cafes one day. Making 12 bucks an hour plus tips was just not going to cut it for the rest of her life.

The people and their tips were nice. They meant well, but...

After the two guests leave the cafe she feels light. Rather than smiling faces and hungry attentions she is greeted by empty cups with beet stains and coffee stains at the bottom.

Imogen Howe doesn't enjoy having random people from her old life crawling into her current one. Which...

In front of the cafe they were greeted by Imogen Howe who was standing outside as if waiting for them old school style like people used to for someone at the train station before smartphones and gps .
