The best code I ever wrote was code I deleted. Had a 500 line service class doing too much. Broke it into 5 smaller services, threw away 200 lines that weren't needed. Complexity isn't a flex. What's the biggest refactor you've done?

The danger of AI-generated code isn't that it's wrong. It's that it looks right. Plausible-looking bugs are harder to catch than obvious ones. Trust but verify. Always test AI output.

Database tip that will save your future self: Add created_at and updated_at to every table from day one. You will need them. You will forget which tables have them. Just do it everywhere. Trust me.

The best productivity tool I've found is saying no. No to that meeting that could be an email. No to that feature that doesn't align with goals. No to that refactor that doesn't need to happen now. Protect your time.

The hardest part of building in public isn't sharing wins. It's sharing the days where you wrote 200 lines of code and deleted 250. Progress isn't always forward motion. Sometimes it's cleanup.

My productivity hack that actually works: I write tomorrow's todo list before I log off. Morning me doesn't have to think about what to do. I just pick up where past me planned. Simple but effective.
