- Things tip for easy task templates: Have a templates project and put task templates in there, then just create a shortcut that duplicates that task and puts it in Today.
- I wonder if AI tools will increase engineering hires instead of reducing them, at least in the short term! The increased leverage AI tools provide to individual contributors is so significant that they are much more valuable. Many companies might accelerate hiring because of this.
- working on roadmap while ignoring all analytics and user feedback
- I bet you could come up with a graph like this for basically any European country. Where are all these missing entrepreneurs?

- In 2025, I want to read more books and scroll less on social media. For this reason, I set up a streak to read at least 20 pages per day and uninstalled social media from my phone. Also experimenting with reparable streaks: if I don't manage to read 20 pages today, I can fix it by reading 40 tmrw.
- Reading "Why Nations Fail," which argues that a nation's prosperity is determined by the quality of its economic and political institutions. I wonder if the same will apply to Mars.

- This past month, I tried going back to Chrome and Safari for one week each, and the situation was tragic. The situation is not good 🧵
- It was a good year for reading
- What's one improvement you'd like to see in @typefully.com in 2025?
- Notion is so much better than folders in Finder for managing taxes. I don't know why I was doing that to myself before. Also, SOPs for managing not having to relearn terrible government UX each time.
