It's a waste of money and time. Running ads while your copy and website structure are not done will just burn your money. I had more luck asking for feedback, not selling. Ads work best when the content is focused. Feedback works best when you're figuring it out.

Ask for help, it's okay! Now I'm here at 21:30, debugging your code and CI/CD pipeline failures because you didn't ask earlier. If you want to move fast, ask for help. Simple.

Gm gm! Just onboarded a new developer to work with Medusa. Barely any prior e-commerce experience. A lot of handholding but that's to be expected. Now we're running into some interesting edge cases.

Been feeling like hitting a wall for the past two weeks. There's so much to do and things to juggle. I do something and then practically stare at a wall for minutes to end. I probably need a vacation.

Had my first workshop with one of the leads today. No glam, no crazy stuff, no extravaganza. Just two people going over problems. Looking for solutions. Aggressive sales push people away. Doctor-like consulting creates a lasting bond and impression.

Gm gm! A rather busy week! Got hit by a random request from ... a bank. And now I'm sitting here putting together a huge proposal with minimal information. Being resourceful is not an option. It's a must.

Gm gm! It's been almost a week, and I'm still working on a proposal for a bank. Over 60 pages and still counting. They said I won't be writing master's theses after graduating a few years ago. They lied.

Gm gm! Even though I have a day off today, I'm still hopping on a sales call. I know, it doesn't sound like balance. But it's work-life combo.

Good morning! Looks like having actual conversations and meetings with people is more valuable than spamming your content. 1 chat can give you a lot more insights. And that one chat gave me ideas for 3 different niches.

Gm gm! I'm glad we didn't take the initial launch and flop as failure. What we did was talk with people, show them what it does. And brainstorm how it may apply to their specific case. Now we have a few niches we will need to explore.

Gm gm! That was brutal. Running client meetings is one thing. Meeting with the board of a bank is draining on a whole different level.

GM GM! The intensity is not stopping anytime soon. What's keeping me afloat is supplements, workouts, late night hiking, and a singular focus. Multitasking just kills me when I have to do it for a long time.
