it’s so hard to stay focused nowadays we’re bombarded daily with people making money in every possible way you start doubting yourself you get too many ideas but the ones who win are the ones who stay focused on one product and one method

who else is working this weekend?

does everyone with aspirations through a boring phase? like, where their lives are really boring, just work and more work? i'm missing doing cool stuff.

my income not depending solely on me stresses me out. because what if I decide to move out or something and then get fired?

This is by far the best feature of Arc (yes, I still use it; it is still the best browser): Tidy tabs

toxic trait: the first thing I do when I wake up is pick up my phone to reply to work messages and emails or check my to-do list for the day I don't recommend it, it's not a happy way to start the day

today marks the day I'm returning to social media i just had to take a break to lock in for a bit

the best part about business is the people. the worst part about business is the people.

taught my dad the power of sending voice messages instead of texts now he just walks around the house talking to his phone

i find it fascinating these portuguese restaurants in the middle of nowhere that are always PACKED literally zero marketing, all word of mouth i guess sometimes delivering such a good service is enough

- shipped like the world depended on it - had a great workout - ate 400g of Wagyu life is fucking great

shipping from here this week

i don't like building in public at all. it feels like i'm going against my nature. i much prefer to be low-key, doing my own stuff and letting no one know what i'm up to. but building in public has so many benefits that i just have to do it.

there’s nothing riskier than living a life without taking risks

what do you do while you wait for AI to apply the changes?

let's see what all the fuss about co-working spaces is about

we just broke up... i got caught cheating with Claude Code.

underrated tools that help me run my business: • Claude Code • NeetoRecord • CleanShotX • superwhisper • Fireflies AI • Canary Mail • Craft • Todoist • Documenso • n8n • Slack

digital tools are cool, but nothing beats the pleasure of using this every day.

i am working on a JavaScript codebase with no TypeScript at all and honestly... i think TypeScript was a mistake. JavaScript code is just so much more beautiful and simple. maybe @marc_louvion was right all along.

sunday’s are my favorite days of the week: - worked on my personal projects - reviewed and reflected on the previous week - planned the week ahead - went for a walk and a run honestly, the most underrated day.

your MRR is impressive bro but how are your workouts going? let me see your Strava, boy.

i can’t wait to get into proper physical shape i’m locked in. this is what i want

thank God Loom was created and started a new way of working. although i don't use Loom specifically, i use a similar product EVERY SINGLE DAY. it makes everything so much easier, and i can't imagine working without it. thanks for existing, Loom.

they say never meet your idols because you'll be disappointed. i say never pursue your favorite business model because you'll be disappointed.

these are all the supplements I take any suggestions? I told you we were health maxxing, boys

communication is undoubtedly the toughest part yet, it is also everything. sales is communication, marketing is communication a brilliant developer with poor communication skills will always lose to an average developer with exceptional communication skills

my experience with Claude Code has been really good so far. it understands context and navigates the codebase much better than Cursor, especially for larger projects! i just wish it wasn't so expensive (currently paying $100) and that Claude Opus had more generous limits.

One of the worst parts about going to the gym is how crowded they are. Even the expensive or premium ones are overcrowded. This just adds more mental excuses not to go.

seriously, what's the rush? why can’t you enjoy the journey and stop stressing about how far you still have to go? just stick to your path and stuff will happen happen

every day, I'm amazed by the sheer number of builders living in Lisbon i've been here for 25 years and had no idea

heat is definitely an enemy of a good night's sleep this is not sustainable

last night’s Padel game almost kill me i’m really out of shape, jesus but the heat didn’t help, that’s for sure gg @itsalejandrolr

it's about time i start focusing on my health and fitness. currently, my lifestyle is too sedentary. i do exercise some days, like playing padel, but most of my days are spent sitting at my desk. any tips on how to introduce more exercise into my routine?

i need AC asap i can't sleep with this heat, even with a fan pointing at me. the problem is the AC companies i contacted are busy until September. but i need it now. August is the hottest month, and i need to sleep until then.

finding a good partner is the greatest advantage you can have today marks 3 years since i met my gf, and we’ve gone through so much together in that time i don’t think i would be where i am without her i’m so lucky to have her (she did not force me to post this)

honestly, building MVPs for others is so much fun, and you can be so quick with AI i wish I could do more of these regularly.

i wasn’t even planning on coding more today, but after Cursor announced that GPT-5 was free, i had no other choice.

It's crazy how I don't type anymore; I just speak to my laptop, and it does the typing for me. Even for this post, I'm just talking straight into the microphone. It's so much faster and easier.

can someone please convince me not to use Claude Code? i'm really tempted, but it's just too expensive...

how old were you when you discovered that your GitHub commits graph looks different to others because it doesn't display commits to private repos?

these are my favorite dev tools: - Cursor - TablePlus to interact with databases - Fork (the best Git GUI, in my opinion) - Ghostty, a super-fast and minimalist terminal - Obsidian for notes - Fireflies for AI meeting notes - Slack for communication any suggestions?

once you learn to have an abundance mindset, everything improves there's a lot of money everywhere, a lot of customers, and a lot of jobs don’t stress about it

i'm convinced that "productized" services are the future you essentially generate cash flow from day one and get paid to build your own product there's a lot of upside with very little downside.

i got fired, so i'm tripling down on myself expect more content from me i feel like sharing the entire journey

if you're reading this: please stop scrolling. start posting. start making friends. start making genuine connections it will truly change your life

this is important: i’m officially looking for freelance opportunities if anyone of you needs a cracked dev or know someone who does, please reach out

one thing i've noticed is that rich people socialize much more than us brokies. all they do is socialize and network, while we worry about meeting people and fear sharing our projects in case they might steal them.

the users just came, i didn’t even have to do any marketing! - said no founder, ever

i always hear: talk to your customers but what if they don’t want to talk to me? what do i do?
