I love small talks btw

I kinda dig it when my Uber driver talks shit about his family or the taxi-hailing app he uses

I legit initiate small talks with someone sitting beside me in a taxi and gossip about the macroeconomic situation of our country

I go to neighbors for coffee and yap my heart out about the little clue I have around the US foreign policy and international relations

If you have a software engineer boyfriend and he doesn’t text back, I recommend you break up with him.

He has no right to make you wait for responses because he is not coding anymore. Cursor codes. He binge watches YouTube clips.

The road to 5M impressions and 500 verified followers in 3 months seems impossible.

I need to be viral before I give up on strategically shitposting.

This is number of impressions per year

This conversation is taken from one of the interviews I had with a top-rated TV show in 2033.

Interviewer: So, Yohannes, tell me one secret of yours to achieve all these things at such a young age. I mean, you recently cofounded multiple unicorn kinds of startups, you worked at a few of the big tech companies, you wrote a best-selling book, and you have been talking on stages like TedTalk and Tech Crunch. What is the secret to all these achievements? What is your recipe?

Me: *clears throat* First of all, I haven’t achieved much, and I am still learning. But for the things you have mentioned, to get those things, I think having multiple crushes helped me.

Interviewer: *👀*

Me: *sips from the glass of water at the table* So, I like to think about “natural selection” when I think about achieving your goals. What natural selection says is survival of the fittest, and I take that as analogous to women’s choice of mates. You know as a man you’re inclined to impress women around. I don’t know if you noticed it or not, but your performance gets crazy (top) when you are around women. A gym where everyone there is a man and a gym where there are women doing workouts are far different. The guys want to show off their strengths and endurance when there are potential mates.

So, to get to my point, by having multiple crushes, you would have multiple muses for creativity, productivity, and even humor. So I advise any man in his twenties to have crushes around his neighborhood so that he will take care of himself even if he’s staying at home, at school to excel at his academic endeavor, at work to get him productive, over LinkedIn to get him accountable for starting up his business soon, over Facebook or Instagram to make him much more presentable, funny, and quick-witted. By any means, though, don’t you dare date in your twenties. It makes you complacent. So that is my tip. That has been my principle for the last ten years.

- Started coding in freshman year
- I’ve always wanted to become a doctor
- I started documenting my journey online. I got a couple of opportunities from LinkedIn which helped me learn iOS development and provided me with the tools I needed.

What worked for me was the fact that I started showing my work way before I became an expert at something.

Not a mistake, but something I would have corrected if I started over would be focusing on LeetCode.

Advice would be to show your work more than you work
