Introducing Yote, an open source react based library for input fields.
With over 10 different inputs, various states, built in animations, sizes and more, all carefully documented for easy use.
Feel free to use it in your next project just "npm i yote-ui"

AI can build a polished portfolio in a day.
I spent over a month building mine.
Because “polished” isn’t proof anymore.
So I made my portfolio a world you can explore.
Built with AI + Three.js + WebGL.
So if you have a few minutes, there’s a world waiting for you.
Give it a try and tell me if you like it :)

I’m becoming convinced that the only form of wealth that matters later in life is having adult children who enjoy spending time with you.

Bro to bro- do not try entrepreneurship if you don't have a high tolerance for uncertainty. For long periods of time, you genuinely won’t know if you’re early, wrong, unlucky, or just stupid. You need to be cheap before you can afford not to be. Because raising money and burning it is easy. Building something people are willing to pay for is hard. You need high self esteem and a low ego and you've to be comfortable being wrong, looking stupid and changing your mind. Most importantly, learn how to lose without becoming a loser. Because you’re going to lose a lot- money, people, deals & time. Just don’t lose your ability to think clearly. And btw, don’t go looking for motivation. It is useless after a while. What you really need is stamina. Both physical & mental.

I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.
A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.
The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.
And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.
It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.
We should all stop with this modern obsession of having a perfectly balanced, optimised life (8 hours sleep, daily cardio + gym, eat well, deep work, etc.)
Most exceptional lives are heavily overallocated somewhere and any pursuit of greatness (in business, art, sport, research) requires big sacrifices.
Online gurus love selling this perfect recipe of life but reality is you only have a 24h day. No way you can sleep 8h, do 10k steps, gym, morning sunlight, read, eat perfectly, do 9h of deep work, see friends, maintain a relationship and somehow be happy through all of it.
I think a better thing for ambitious people is to think of life in seasons: a year obsessed with work, then a period focused on health, family, travel, etc. You can be massively overallocated to one thing for a while without deciding that’s what your entire life should look like. Balance probably makes more sense measured over years than every single day.

I entered UCLA as a freshman at 46 and graduated with a computer science and digital media management degree at 50. In the ten years since, I’ve made three feature films, two film shorts, established a film festival, written for numerous publications, and published two books (third one on the way). You’re either alive or dead. Those are the only two ages.

i am fully addicted to claude design. imo it’s break through product in so many ways.
i’m not exaggerating. it’s completely rewired how i think, ideate, & ultimately make decisions. every single time i use figma, it feels like the old way of thinking where you have to manually earn every single pixel (not to mention it’s slow af & feels heavy/complicated). also every single time i have to open the figma app, the fucking update app popup comes up, wtf. if i were anthropic i’d triple down on this product. the ideation → conception → build loop is the most important loop for humanity since the dawn of creation.
if anyone at anthropic wants feedback from a heavy user who’s a genuine fan of the product, my dms are open.
