Right now, I’ve found a routine that’s working absurdly well for me: 3–4 hours of work in the morning, gym, lunch, more work, some downtime, a walk, dinner, a bit more downtime, and reading before bed. Not all hours of the day are worth the same. Mornings are way more productive. There’s less noise, less friction, and a clearer head.
How dangerous it is to quit your job and focus on your projects. Besides the obvious, the hardest part is that you lose some of that "pain" that pushed you to start a business. You get comfortable and lose some of your motivation to work.
The December holidays have been incredible. 🌅 Getting up early 🍳 Having a relaxed breakfast 💻 Working on my projects 🍽️ Eating with the family 🖥️ Working a little more in the afternoon 🏓 In the evening, playing pádel, going for a walk or meeting up with friends

With Find My Moat, I’m seeing really clearly how useful AI, and tools like Codex, can be for building companies. The business vision was mine. The original idea too. But AI has helped me a ton:
💰 The mental model that has helped me make +€100,000 → THE SECRET: positive optionality and asymmetric risk.
If you’re an engineer and don’t like doing marketing or product, here’s my advice: bring it onto your turf. Measure conversions, run A/B tests, analyze engagement, look at funnels, compare cohorts, find patterns.
🇨🇭 The lie I was told before moving to Switzerland: "You need to speak German or French to work here". False. In tech, English is enough. If you're good, of course.
💸 REMOTE jobs paying $80K+ - List of sites Even though I live in Switzerland, nothing’s stopping me from working remotely for a company 👀 Here are some platforms I’ve seen for anyone interested 👇
Just like the other post, this tweet is for those of you who often ask me where I looked for jobs in Switzerland. These options are focused on remote jobs. Hope they’re useful!
