my twitter rule is to never dunk on people

spreading hate for the dopamine hit of getting likes is just unhealthy

there are so many ways to go viral and elevate/uplift people and the downstream 2nd/3rd order effects are 10x more rewarding and fulfilling

this is surprisingly a hard rule to follow, and i've broken it multiple times, because sometimes the potential dopamine hit of a very funny dunk is irresistible. even if you intend for it to be light-hearted and a joke, others will spin it the wrong way and potentiate the hate

there's less value now in doubling down and maxing out a skill tree (eg programming)

it's probably better to invest skill points in becoming intermediate in a lot of skills

so you can have the baseline level of knowledge and taste to drive agents effectively in many domains

butyeko breathing basically fixes my adhd

i thought meditation was so helpful because it forced me to focus on my breath

but actually it was just indirectly making fix my breathing by noticing it

so buteyko just fixes it at the source

only works if i consciously do it tho, gotta figure out how to make it automatic

anicet/boat is my first angel investment

the only moats left are owning compute and distribution

anicet has both

i watched my friend struggle for 2 years pivoting and trying to find pmf

at one point we met irl, he was stressed, the company was close to dying, i was about to tell him to consider getting a job and chill

but i saw the fire in his eyes, these were the fierce eyes of a french man the world had not seen since napoleon, i imagined this must be what it is like to stare timothée chalamet or kylian mbappé in the eyes and sense their determination

so i held my tongue, those words were futile, this was a man who would never, ever give up

we just reached 1M ARR with boat.dev

it was our best case scenario for the entire YC batch, yet it took only 2/3rd of it to happen

slowly then all at once, we grew from 0 to 1M ARR in 22 months over 6 pivots:

0 -> $10k ARR in 16m, 5 pivots
$10k -> $100k ARR in 4m, 1 pivot
$100k -> $200k ARR in 1m
$200k -> $1M ARR in 1m

we already got way more in rev run rate btw, subscriptions are just a fraction of our total revenue

now road to $100M!
