There is no overnight success, but there is overnight grinding. And yeah, that is what we can do until we reach to that success.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.

Introducing BirrJS

A TypeScript billing engine for the Ethiopian market. Payment gateways here only handle one-time payments, so there's no built-in support for subscriptions, entitlements, or reminders.

BirrJS fills that gap with a subscription lifecycle engine that handles plans, feature gating, usage tracking, expiry and reminders, and easy payment provider integration.

Notes to My Future Self

1. Curiosity Needs Direction

Curiosity is a gift.

But unmanaged curiosity can become a trap.

Don't let your curiosity trick you into starting five foundations at once.

You don't build depth by touching everything.
You build depth by staying with something long enough for it to become difficult, confusing, and eventually clear.

The goal isn't to learn everything.

The goal is to learn something deeply.

2. The Artifact Is Not the Goal

When I ask:

"How long will it take?"

Sometimes what I'm really asking is:

"Can I have the artifact soon?"

The understanding-brain asks:

"What should I do next?"

The artifact-brain asks:

"How quickly can I finish?"

The understanding lasts.
The artifact is only evidence that the understanding happened.

The artifact is the receipt.
The learning is the purchase.

3. The Urge Never Leaves

The urge to rush.
The urge to show progress.
The urge to impress.

It doesn't disappear.

Senior engineers feel it.
Researchers feel it.
Founders feel it.

The difference is not that experienced people are free from the urge.

The difference is that they learn to recognize it and not let it drive the car.

4. Depth Compounds

Six months spent understanding a foundation is rarely just six months.

Deep understanding compounds.
Knowledge stacks.

Depth in one area often becomes leverage in another.

5. Don't Optimize for Applause

Many people optimize for things they can show.

Few optimize for becoming the kind of person who can build those things repeatedly.

One creates temporary results.

The other creates capability.

Choose capability.

6. Foundations Before Innovation

Before asking:

"How can I improve this?"

First ask:

"Why does it work this way?"

Most good ideas come from understanding existing solutions deeply enough to see their tradeoffs.

Innovation built on ignorance is guessing.

Innovation built on understanding is engineering.

7. Let Difficulty Teach

The temptation is to remove friction.

But often the friction is the lesson.

The bug.
The confusion.
The failed experiment.
The week spent stuck.

Those moments are not interruptions to learning.

They are learning.

8. A North Star

Desire to become the person who deeply understands things, not just the person who shows things.

When roadmaps fail,
when timelines slip,
when progress feels invisible,

this matters more than any deadline.

Becoming the person is the real project.

Everything else is a byproduct.

How to get the superpower to stop time? It's going at light speed at this point.

The way my mind is not accepting being an adult. But my age is just counting. Am I the only one?

Peace doesn't mean living an easy life. It is resolving the worry in your heart and having faith in the LORD.

መልካም ሰንበት💛

የሚወደኝ ቃሌን ይጠብቃል፤ አባቴም ይወደዋል፤ ወደ እርሱም መጥተን በእርሱ ዘንድ ማደሪያ እናደርጋለን። የማይወደኝ ግን ቃሌን አይጠብቅም፤ ይህም የምትሰሙት ቃል የላከኝ የአብ ቃል ነው እንጂ የእኔ ቃል አይደለም።
የዮሐንስ ወንጌል 14:23-24

Thank you very much for your advice. This is so helpful. I was literally taking notes on some of them. Thank you for your good wishes 🫶. Still, you can send anything you want to tell me improve too. I am glad to have you all here.
