In 10 years, you'll wish you started today
Lately, I’ve felt a growing agitation around the discourse on building. There’s more complaining than gratitude, more cynicism than curiosity, and frankly, it’s been rubbing me the wrong way. I feel lucky to be alive right now... the tools we have access to are absurd, the leverage is unprecedented, the doors are wide open. And yet, so many people seem more interested in arguing about who deserves what than actually walking through them. So consider this a builder’s manifesto. A personal reminder. A rant, even. A call to anyone on the edge of creation. Because if more people stepped into the arena, we’d be living in a very different world.
The tools available right now are genuinely insane, and I don’t think most people have processed what that actually means. We’re living through one of the most democratizing moments in human history, but half the world is too busy doomscrolling or litigating who deserves what to notice what’s happening right in front of them. The internet handed us a golden key a long time ago. It said: here, go learn anything, build anything, monetize anything. Now AI has turned that key into a skeleton key that opens almost every door. The only catch, as it’s always been, is that you have to actually use it.
