Not too long ago, I made the decision to completely cut myself off from TikTok, Instagram Reels, X, and basically all short form, fast paced content.
The change was almost immediate. My attention to detail finally bounced back, and I started actually reading word for word again... which sounds ridiculous because that's exactly what you're supposed to do when consuming information, right? But I had fallen into this pattern where I wanted to rush through everything. I couldn't stand spending more than 15-20 minutes on a single problem or reading. Everything felt like it needed to be consumed quickly and moved past.
That all changed when I turned off the constant noise of all this crap content. My engineering mindset returned. I could sit down for hours at a time again, working on tasks and getting deeper and deeper into whatever I was focusing on. The ability to sustain focus and think critically came back.
I'm now a firm believer that short-form, fast-paced content is devastating to the human brain's ability to concentrate and process information deeply. It's something I'll continue to share with the people I care about because the difference has been night and day.

If you’re not doing pushups in the office while waiting for your Claude prompts to finish do you even care about yourself?
I’m going to give my very early opinion on this that might change later.
I’ve given my resume to about 6 people now, and every single one had a different opinion on what’s good and what’s bad. I found myself going in circles trying to incorporate everyone’s feedback. I basically realized it’s never going to be “perfect.”
Obviously I take some people’s feedback more seriously based on their experience, but here’s what I’d say to anyone struggling with making a “good resume.”
Get it to a point where the positive feedback outweighs the negative (because there will always be something that sucks, especially when starting out), make sure it’s ATS friendly, and SEND IT. Then base your next round of changes on what actual employers say.
