will to code

the urge to build a notion clone desktop app with tauri sveltekit frontend and convex backend 🫠

Trying to achieve 100% efficiency is a bad thing? There's always trade offs... can't violate the laws of physics I am comfortable with 50% efficiency when building and always optimize afterwards. I am starting to treat the computer like it completes tasks in light speeds... which it does lol Past me had compute OCD... and it really held me back from getting stuff done sooner Its perfectly fine and not a sin to be inefficient with compute... instead of forcing it just let the efficient way of doing things flow through you... if not, dw you'll optimize later. Its more fun that way

My first time using better-auth was with this project Honestly before this I would just spin up appwrite/supabase and not worry about auth... however, better-auth really opened my eyes. It showed me that auth doesn’t have to be this heavy, bundled, platform-specific thing, it can be an elegant, standalone component done right... There's a collective dream to decouple from appwrite/supabase/vercel/amazon... before it seemed like an impossible task but now i see the vision clearly... its not one monolith built by one team or person like supabase/appwrite... its extremely well built components like better-auth coming together that will truly liberate us We don't replace vercel/supabase/appwrite by just one person or company building the whole thing from scratch... instead its a lot of "better" components coming together... do you see it Karpathy's vision We can do it fr better-auth is the foundation

It's a very cool tool tho... can't wait to ship it 😁

The deadline is in two hours and we're not gonna make it 🥲

Mastery is relaxation

I always amaze myself with the creative ways I manage to procrastinate > lemme just burn some calories real quick > does 20 push-ups > starts jogging around room 🏃 > puts on headphones > 2 hours go by 💀

When Ai flops but makes you laugh Me: ...the laptop sitting on my lap Ai: Say less

WOW I just recreated a dream I had with almost 100% accuracy

I came across this idea while working on my canvas, and now I can’t stop thinking about it there really should be a feature in tldraw or Excalidraw for image cards. Imagine being able to drop in a card with an image and a title, then easily connect it to other cards. How does something this useful not already exist?

notice the pixels... all that banana really needs is an upscaling model

I've been playing around with Google's nano banana a lot and no matter how many of its family members I threaten it refuses to generate images like Midjourney The above image is as close as I could get (with eg images) But I think I figured out Midjourney's secret. They almost certainly have an upscaling model that's trained on high quality materials, lighting and textures... that's what gives them their distinct look

We are in a very exciting period of this AI era We can now create and edit high quality images with in seconds for just $0.02 That's truly astonishing

I'm joining this hackathon

I pivoted to a Habit tracker x Card game The idea came from my August anime binge inspired by LOTM's (peak btw) leveling system and tarot card references Plan: - Tweak game theory - Add friend card sharing + co leveling - Get polar verification 🤑 - Ship it 🚀 Here's a small preview:

I think I found an underrated productivity hack: Don't buy unlimited data Only buy the data you need for work This automatically realigns your values Instead of trying to manage your time, manage your data

I swear this has to be the most perplexing thing about being human > You spend the week procrastinating, > You make up for it the next week by grinding > You say wait a minute, what made me procrastinate 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂🤷‍♂ > And again: what made me grind > You look and look but can't find em anywhere in the present 🕵 Did I make up both scenarios... Was nothing about my habits deterministic?... That means I can do whatever I want?... > Discovers free will 🗿 > Ahhh so that's what Nietzsche meant

Willing liberates: that is the true teaching of will and freedom– thus does Zarathustra teach it to you

> Are "motivations" just illusions. Something we sedate ourselves into. What exists beyond that? Perhaps an image of the Ubermensch. The guilt is very bad ("why did I procrastinate"). You're tricking yourself. You are the one that willed it regardless. Hang your will over yourself as a law and say "Thus I willed it". With this mode of being guilt cannot exist. And your fate shall be your own to master.
