There is an immense cost to starting.

Does this mean you shouldn't start?

Hell nah.

It just means you START and FINISH, not START START START.

Because only when you FINISH can you truly intellectually compound with precision.

Then you can START again, this time, with better foundation.

I find that the companies that I like are all ran by people who care deeply about the problem their solving.

Don't believe them when they say you don't need math for Development / Software Engineering.

You don't need it if you intend to be mediocre and get paid like an entry-level engineer.

But at a certain level of greatness it becomes clear why Computer Science was heavily rooted in Mathematics.

It becomes the language where engineering converges.

Not code.
Not oss.

Math and Physics.

Keep things simple.

Will I take responsibility for this?

No -> Let it go.

Yes -> Do whatever it takes

There is so much misery in the limbo while avoiding the suffering that comes with responsibility.

But taking responsibility has always been men's greatest antidepressant.

Real ones will know what I'm talking about.

Simply because a decision has been made. No more thinking. No more wondering. No pondering.

Just doing.

And doing is 100x easier to shoulder.

You didn't have to learn gravity twice to know you shouldn't jump off a building.

So if you're working on hard things, hard problems, hard situations.

Know that you make the rest of your life as easy as possible.

You can just walk away from disrespect and continue to live your life.

I am slowly learning that having self-respect has nothing to do with making others think you are untouchable. It has nothing to do with seeming like the toughest person in the room.

Self-respect is realizing that the need to confront, aggress, look tough, advocate for the devil and seem untouchable is a way to compensate. It’s what people do when they feel vulnerable and unsafe.

My Hiring Thesis: (Image Below)

For the most part, if you're weak-willed, you won't achieve anything significant.

Having BALLS is an edge.
