Good night 💛

Saw Dagi's work today and damn that was more than I expected. Esral is the one guiding her but it was impressive one of the tool we will release soon.

We shall get some gbza like it will have blessing ;)

Giving my favorite human a bouquet 💐 Oh wow 🥹

Stopppp I just got my first payment 😊🧻 Why am I emotional over this ..?? This is so exciting fr.😭 What was your first payment experience like? Were you normal about it or did you also stare at the notification for 20 minutes? 💛

Last time I went to Video Bet just wanting some time for myself… and (somehow it became one of my favorite little places to disappear into lol ) Watched Cinema Paradiso there, and wow it was beautiful. Something about watching a film like that in a cinema makes it feel even more magical 💛

I don't think the answer is to reject the tools or pretend they don't matter. Someone told me once don't let the tool think for you. Let it think with you. I don't know if I've figured out how to do that yet. But I know the difference matters. Because here's what I don't hear people talk about enough. It's not just about skills getting dull. It's about what that does to you as a person. I used to feel something when I solved a problem not pride exactly, just this quiet satisfaction, like my brain did what it was built to do. That feeling is harder to reach now. And losing that hasn't just made me less sharp. It's made me less happy. There's a connection between struggling through something and actually enjoying your own mind, and I didn't realize how much I needed that until it started fading. I don't have this figured out. I'm not writing this from the other side of anything. I'm still confused. I still don't know if I'm using these tools right or leaning on them too much. I still wonder if the hours I spend learning are worth anything when the world keeps moving without waiting. I still feel the gap between who I am and who I thought I'd be by now, and some days that gap doesn't feel like potential. It just feels like falling behind. Someone once said comparison is just you measuring your beginning against someone else's middle. I don't know if that's true. But it stays with me on the bad nights. I'm still here though. Still studying. Still building, even if it's slow. Still choosing to learn when it would be easier to stop. I don't know if that's enough. But it's what I have right now.

What I’m Really Afraid Of Sometimes I ask myself why I’m still studying. Not because I don’t care. I care too much. But I’m in that strange place where time moves faster than I can hold it, and everywhere I look, someone seems more certain, more successful, more finished than I am. I’m a fourth-year CS student. Smart tools everywhere. Smart people everywhere. And it can start to feel like everyone else is already building something important while I’m still trying to understand where I fit. I compare myself more than I should. I wonder if I’m behind. I wonder if I’ve spent too long learning without producing enough to prove I’m actually good at this. And that fear isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s the quietest thing in the room. It shows up when I reach for AI before my own mind fully tries. When something I used to solve with confidence now feels slightly out of reach. When I realize I’m no longer as sure of my own thinking as I once was. Nothing has exactly gone wrong. I’m still learning. I’m still trying. But something in me feels softer than before and I can’t tell whether that softness is growth, exhaustion, or the slow cost of depending too much on things outside myself. What scares me most isn’t that I’m lazy or incapable. It’s the possibility that I’m getting used to not struggling. That I’m becoming someone who reaches for answers too quickly, who trusts the tool more than the process, who forgets what it feels like to sit with confusion long enough to actually grow from it. But here’s where I have to be honest with myself about something else. Yes, there are people around me who are smarter. Faster. Further ahead. That’s real I’m not pretending otherwise. But someone else being brilliant was never a reason for me to stop. Their speed is not my deadline. Their path is not my benchmark. The only question that actually matters is whether I’m still moving whether I’m still building, still sharpening, still becoming. And I am. Because intelligence isn’t something you either have or don’t. It depends on practice. The skills that matter most thinking deeply, holding a problem in your mind, building an answer from nothing, trusting yourself before you trust a shortcut they don’t vanish overnight. They weaken quietly when they aren’t used. That’s all. And what weakens from neglect can be rebuilt with intention. That’s what makes this so personal. This isn’t only about AI. It’s about me. About all the times I’ve asked myself whether I’m still becoming the person I hoped I would be. About the fear of being left behind in a world that never slows down. About the strange pain of watching people seem so far ahead while you’re still laying your foundation. But a foundation is not nothing. Being in this stage the uncertain, frustrating, invisible stage is still progress. Not every season of life is meant to look impressive. Some seasons exist only to make you stronger, quieter, deeper, more honest with yourself.

Eldad time ?

Vent time ? 👍 nah ?
