Whenever a German executive shows a car in one of these reviews, there is always a dude in the back sitting and not contributing anything to the video except looking weird and uncomfortable.

8 years ago I went to Norway to pick strawberries during the whole summer with a friend, my goal was singular to make enough money to buy a MacBook to become an iOS Dev, I built my whole career with that laptop

Decathlon, Zara and a few others have the same system for few years now, here in France. The supermarkets won't bother with adding NFC/RFID tags to the items they stick to barcodes unfortunately.
I turn 29 soon, 10 years ago I thought I would be way more successful by now.
I regret time wasted as well as opportunities missed for not taking action and doing what I wanted to. I will do everything to have zero regrets for the next 10 years!

I am reading Zeto to Sold by

and it is amazing! Literally, if you are building a

and you are not reading this book you are doing your business a disservice. I recommend it to everyone, serial founders as well as first-time founders. It is great!
After years of being an iOS Engineer I realized that I am not learning much in my 9-5 the only progress in my knowledge and seniority that I ever achieve is by building some projects on the side. Do you also feel the same? Maybe you have some other way of learning on the job?
@andres_vidoza
I am not sure why but I know 10+ cases of random motherboard/graphics card or something else dying on a Windows laptop. I know only one case of that happening on a Mac. Also, Macs are way better for software engineering.
I was updating my CV so I thought why not share it with you and see what you think. Also I am looking for a job in Paris, France if anyone is looking for an iOS Engineer

I am currently at 859 followers, I do think it is possible to get to 900 by the end of the month but do you think it is possible to get to 1000 in the next 12 days?

1 month ago I deactivated my Instagram and started using X instead. π΅
I have never been more productive! πͺ I am super excited to build and grow together with everyone on here! π±

"Every day you start at zero." π
This quote in a video from
@SahilBloom
hit me hard.
No matter how far you've come, the grind resets each day.
Paying your dues daily is the key to achieving your dreams.

It has been a great week, the best one ever. After starting to post on X again after 4-5 months. Hopefully more of my tweets are about me

going forward! Let's connect!
Thanks to Tessa we did it! 1000 followers πππ
I am not sure if I should celebrate it or not since Tessa is not a real person but hey there are always some possitives and some negatives π

It is fine to take it easy during the weekendβ
I still try to work and have 4 hours of deep work but there are few things I started doing to make everything easier
π I don't set an alarm. This lets me sleep in a bit more than usual and just rest my body better
#typefully
π I lock down my phone from midnight to noon, no social media, news, or games.
β° Alarm set with Alexa across the room with mic off, forcing me up.
π Reading before bed and in the morning for 15-30 mins.
β¨ This routine transformed me in just two weeks.

@typefully
Scheduling helps a lot, just write when you feel more inspired, write few posts and then you are good to go for the next few days when inspiration strikes again
A friend
@zlatko_design
recently made something I need but I didn't know I needed it
A library of elements that let's you design your home in Figma!
It allows me to design the new apartment I just bought last month!
I highly recommend you check it out!
I only ever listened to audiobooks for years
I recently started reading on a Kindle every night before sleep and every morning the first thing when I wake up
It feels like meditation, it calms my brain down and I am able to focus a lot more through the day

Form over function at its finest, It does look gorgeous but you need a vehicle wherever you want to go, you are obviously very secluded from nature since it is multiple floors above the forest itself and you have these huge gardens with next to 0 shade that just look nice but
Even successful makers struggle with the same productivity and motivation problems as we who are trying to make it do.
Except for
@levelsio
the guy doesn't stop.
I guess we just take the time to refocus every day or whenever we need it, go ahead and build!

One more week of growth! πππ
Despite a few hiccups, the profile visits to new followers has improved, thats good to see, probably I have reached my niche audience.
I think this next week we have a chance to hit 1000 followers!

Another great week of growth! Even though I got messed up by the bot purge last week. π
We are coming back stronger than before! πͺ

Even though impressions went a bit down this week I like that the other metrics went up.
I did reach 1000 followers 3 days ago but then lost 100 during the bot purge so we have still some time to go to reach the goal and I am making it harder for myself by removing fake accounts
D7 - From 90 to 105 Kilos: Why Iβm Going Back to the Gym
In this video, I share my goals for the year, my progress on my first app project, and my fitness journey. Why I chose
@Firebase
over

and why I need to exercise more.

It has been my default search engine for few weeks now and I love it. Try the

Posting on X daily sometimes feels like more talk than work. Working on
#mapbox
for days but tweeting about it daily seems odd.

@damengchen
When I see my Apple Watch, AirPods, and MacBook I can't agree with this. I believe that Apple still has these small teams of specialists that execute with amazing speed and precision and that whatever they come up with will be a major player in the space. It won't be soon though
Tweeting about work is one thing, doing the work is another. Talking and learning fall short without action.
Don't just talk and learn, take the shot to score the goal!

I have to say in the last week there are much less bot accounts following me. I am not sure what
@x
is doing but they are doing a better job than before.
#typefully
@thekitze
Kitze going from "all you rectangle movers wont have a job in 5 years" to "let me teach me 6 months old daughter how to move rectangles" every day π€£
I think that if you remove the bot followers that follow you, the
@x
algorithm doesn't like that and nerfs how many people see your account.
So I changed my mind and I will stop doing it. I guess we have to embrace the rollercoaster π’ ride.

It has been 6 years since Apple Watch 4 released and it is still very usable and does 95% of things I want it to do. The battery starts showing the age but otherwise it is amazing, I was not expecting them to be usable this long after.

Every time I am reminded you live on a boat it proves to me that I am on the right path with what I want to achieve in life with what I am doing
Considering dropping my goal of growing my YouTube channel to focus on things I truly care about, like buidling my app ideas and growing my X account. Should I replace it with something new or just simply remove it from my goals?

Choose wisely how you spend your day.
Scrolling Instagram and TikTok might feel like a time sink.
But what if you scrolled π instead?
You might just find the inspiration to do more!
Vitalik being a real person is one of those things in life that makes me think damn I love being alive. This is hilarious. The guy doesn't care at all about what anyone thinks about him while the prime minister of Montenegro is running behind him π
Working on the go is tough. I've never cracked the productivity code. How do you stay focused? How do you handle friends and family who donβt get that you're working while traveling?

πͺ Growth comes from doing the hard work you've been avoiding.
π Learning doesn't happen by just reading about it.
