Most of what you build is the Nth copy of something that already exists, and copies compete down to the cost of the copy. That's why your effort doesn't compound. The difference between work that survives you and work that evaporates is whether it's a discovery or a copy. A discovery buys you time. A copy is already being priced down to zero. This essay gives you the accounting that tells the two apart, shows you where the cost of your gains actually lands, and gives you three questions to run on anything you're about to build. Read it if you've ever wondered why the same effort builds a career one year and nothing the next

I started in tech, discovered product management, and after 95%+ of my applications ended in rejection or silence, finally landed my first PM role at a small IT company. Working in a tiny team pushed me into both product and marketing. In 2023, a mentor helped me realize that this combination could become my niche: Product Marketing. After a few months of searching, I found the right fit — a remote-first B2B SaaS startup where I could combine product, marketing, and strategy. In November 2023, I became a Middle Product Marketing Manager. My biggest lessons: trust your intuition, don’t let rejection define you, and don’t be afraid to build a career at the intersection of different skills.

Designing a YouTube-to-MP4 Flow That Fails Honestly

A video-conversion interface should not promise a resolution before it knows what the source and provider can actually deliver. That sounds like a small copy decision, but it is an implementation decision too. A user who asks for 1080p needs an observable path from input to result—not a button that silently substitutes a file without explaining what happened.

How I Broke Into Crypto During the Market Bottom

A first-person account of switching from fintech (trading at Gazprombank) into crypto at the bottom of the market — right after FTX, with Solana in single digits. The switch wasn't luck: it was a non-obvious match of hard skills (edtech, finance, crypto, user research) and soft skills, signalled loudly over time through public writing and a finance PhD on crypto regulation. The bigger lesson: ugly markets hire for impact, not momentum — so a downturn is often the best time to jump, if you can credibly say "I can fix this."

Many media workflows involve uploading files to cloud utilities for tasks that modern computers can already perform locally. While building Formatif Pro, I realized that video compression, image conversion, resizing, and audio extraction are often faster, more private, and more reliable when they happen directly on the desktop. This article explores the hidden productivity cost of the "upload tax" and why some media tools may never have needed to become cloud apps in the first place.

Zettelkasten proposes a way of writing connected notes, and not just a collection of notes. The human brain is non-linear: we jump from idea to idea, all the time. The difference to other systems is that you create a web of thoughts instead of notes of arbitrary size and form, and emphasize connection, not a collection. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base on top of a folder of plain text Markdown files that you can organize in whatever way you want.

Upside was founded in 2015 as a pilot in Washington, D.C., by two former Google employees. The app uses user data and machine learning to calculate what amounts to a personalized gas price for each customer instead of offering the same rewards for the same spending. Uber and Lyft added the technology to the apps their drivers use, in a move that would help compensate for lost earnings due to the high price of gas. More than 30,000 businesses promote deals through the Upside app.

Multiple monitors make you look like a serious computing badass, says Cory House. He sold his multiple monitor set up a couple years ago and switched to a single monitor. Being able to focus on a single task for an extended period is a valuable skill. Multiple displays often lead to continuously displaying potential distractions. This isn’t just unnecessary, it’s counter-productive. With a single screen, I eliminate decisions deciding where to drag windows or where to place a given window to block out all other distractions.

Perhaps this brings more questions than concrete steps. It would make sense to feel overwhelmed realizing the progress civilization has made. Opportunities now exist beyond anything known for thousands of generations before. You may also feel anxious realizing you haven’t taken full advantage of what currently surrounds you. Instead, you’ve taken for granted the progress and inventions created by past generations who made this moment possible.

There are thousands of people online advising on pretty much anything. It’s great because you can find a solution fast yet I find it annoying. I noticed people deferring to anyone appearing the most authoritative. I can’t blame them because no one can digest all the info so it makes sense to outsource advice. Most influencers have something to sell, so their advice is biased.
