description: A collection of observations on personal conduct, professional strategy, relationships, and technology trends gleaned from various dated tweets.

type/external

A compilation of thoughts touching upon personal integrity, the nature of relationships, the application of technology (AI), and business philosophy.

Key points

• Prudence and Discernment: Caution against misplaced trust; while one can forgive, one must not be foolishly trusting again. One must maintain a defensive mindset against potential harm.
• Self-Perception vs. Reality: True confidence stems from self-respect, whereas ego is merely false confidence.
• Relationships and Intent: In relationships, actions speak louder than words. A lack of sustained effort signals a lack of interest, regardless of verbal assurances.
• Professional Strategy:
• When scaling codebases, the best approach is to keep the project scope as small and focused as possible to maintain quality.
• When managing up, success requires courage, empathy, and delivering results, not merely flattering superiors.
• Regarding AI integration, continuous, problem-oriented thinking about how AI can improve daily work is key to sustained learning.
• Power and Virtue: A truly good person must possess the capacity for evil; weakness is not the same as goodness.
• Discipline and Freedom: Genuine freedom is achieved through self-imposed discipline, as without it, one drifts into comfort, sloth, and lust.
• Market Dynamics: Game theory suggests that betrayal is inevitable unless actively guarded against, as loyalty is never guaranteed when incentives shift.
• High-Value Presence: In interactions, one must be assertive rather than supplicant, and one's value should not be proven by seeking external validation.
