it's hard to admit failure publicly.
and I've failed as much as anyone. over and over again.
anyone who's been following me for a while will have noticed. not so much from the projects I show you, but from the ones I stop showing you.

Launching new products is scary.
A ton of hours spent on something that might end up being worth nothing. And the closer you get to the finish line, the more you want to say fuck it all.
A ton of respect for anyone trying to get a project off the ground.
From the outside, it looks hard. But once you get into it, you discover two pretty curious things:
I think the apparent arrogance of a lot of entrepreneurs makes more sense when you realize what they’re trying to do.
It’s not that they think they’re always right. Or that they’re better than everyone else. Or even that they’re the right people to start a company.

Way overrated in my opinion, and unfortunately widely accepted and seen as better than many other less harmful things.

Last week I was playing around with uncensored Qwen locally.
I asked it for “effective life hacks that aren’t ethical.”
It pisses me off, because I’ve seen (and suffered) plenty of them.
Still, I found its last thought pretty interesting:

Another interesting concept.
I asked it: what’s the most extreme and important question I should ask an uncensored LLM?
And its answer was:
- 3
of course, my next question was “what am I really asking?”
A slightly less interesting result, but I like the abstraction it makes:
“your last two questions were about leverage.”
I made it free and no sign-up needed.

Yeah, making over 100k a year is great.
My main goal when I came to Switzerland was to find a better life: to escape the lower middle class and find hope for a brighter future.
It's hard to get out of your bubble.
For example: in my circle of friends, cheating on exams wasn't normal. Neither was shoplifting. And especially not in high school. So I more or less tacitly assumed it wasn't common.
I remember a long time ago, maybe 7 or 8 years back, reading someone on Twitter saying:
“Writing on Twitter has changed my life. You reading this, do it. Put yourself out there.”
