Introducing BirrJS A TypeScript billing engine for the Ethiopian market. Payment gateways here only handle one-time payments, so there's no built-in support for subscriptions, entitlements, or reminders. BirrJS fills that gap with a subscription lifecycle engine that handles plans, feature gating, usage tracking, expiry and reminders, and easy payment provider integration. [ Docs ] [ Github ]

I really can’t wait for the day where people build things just by speaking in their own language. They don’t have to know code or even English for that matter. Just their own natural language. Like someone in a rural area, or someone who has never written a line of code, just explaining (through voice) a problem to their phone, then watching it turn into a real product. There are thousands of small problems around us that never get solved because the people closest to them don’t have the tools or access to build. I know this future is coming. I just really hope it is not far. @b1n1yamBuilds

Men rarely compete silently. The World Sauna Championship is a perfect example. Held annually in Finland until 2010, contestants sat in a 110°C (230°F) sauna while water was poured onto the stove every two minutes. The last person able to walk out won. In 2010, neither finalist could. The Russian competitor died, and the defending Finnish champion spent six weeks in a coma with severe burns and organ damage. The event was never held again. What makes this remarkable is that there were essentially no prizes. Yet competitors pushed themselves to the edge of death, even adapting their appearance to better endure the heat. It highlights a strange aspect of competition: once a ruleset exists, people will often find meaning in it regardless of the rewards or risks. The pursuit becomes its own justification. That's why I'm cautious about competitive pursuits and business. The real danger isn't failure; it's becoming so absorbed that the goal starts to justify any sacrifice. Learn to Desire Well.

the people you admire today are quietly shaping the target function your life is optimizing. perhaps this is the central challenge of maturity, moving from asking, "How do I get what I want?" to asking, "What kind of person would naturally want the right things?" coz optimization is mostly a technical problem. Desire is the philosophical one. imo the highest form of wisdom may simply be this: to spend as much effort choosing your aims as you spend pursuing them.

Do You Know the Grandfathers of Your Ideas? While I was Googling and learning about the life of Vilfredo Pareto, I came across an intriguing feature in his profile—Google's "Influenced" and "Influenced by" sections. This clever visualization essentially maps the intellectual ancestry and descendants of Pareto’s ideas, like a genealogy of thought. It made me wonder: how often do we reflect on the "grandfathers" of our own ideas?

Do you know the grandfathers of your ideas, or do you live as if your ideas are yours alone?
