"The only real test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life." – Naval Ravikant

Someone reading this wants to start something between Jan 1–5. Do it differently this time. Start today. Start small and build momentum into next year. You’ll thank yourself a year from now.

being too smart keeps you broke, here's why met a guy recently who's genuinely brilliant, reads business theory, understands markets better than most VCs completely broke spends his days analyzing opportunities, perfecting concepts waiting for the "perfect idea" to launch scrolling through startup trend reports been "working on something" for 2 years here's where it gets wild few months back i took one of his half-baked ideas he casually mentioned packaged it fast with zero polish sold it as a course to people trying to break into freelance consulting $9k a month within 60 days product was rough idea wasn't groundbreaking i just moved quickly and didn't overthink it he's still refining his version 1.0 while i'm getting paid from version 0.2 i threw together in 3 days the pattern is clear: intelligence creates endless options options lead to overthinking overthinking leads to being broke smart people spot 50 ways something might not work so they "do more research" average people see one direction and go a brilliant idea stuck in someone's head who won't ship becomes worthless an okay idea in the hands of someone who executes becomes profitable ideas that never launch are just expensive thoughts for smart people afraid to look dumb that's the whole problem, smart people guard their reputation shipping something imperfect feels risky to their identity so they wait indefinitely people who execute ship messy learn from reality fix it later make money while improving you don't need perfect, you need momentum belief in what you're selling beats actual expertise every time my smart friend will stay theoretical while people half as intelligent cash out by actually doing the work execution speed is everything

Influencers trying to sell "vibe coder" as a real job title drive me crazy. The job is called *SOFTWARE ENGINEER* 😎 We used to build software by manipulating registers, then C, then Java and JS, then Python ate everyone's lunch. Now we work with LLMs. Same job. New tools.
