I read this article about software development, which I knew about because I saw Prime reacting to it:

For the most part I think it is fine: a relatively young programmer is doing the healthy work of introspecting on what he should really be doing.
But…
Decaying Soviet megastructures invoke the accurate feeling of stumbling across the ruins of a spacefaring empire that ceased to exist, leaving their technology and relics behind.
“If you’re interested in doing it, do it. Choose today instead of tomorrow. Show up, no matter how imperfect or inconvenient because, as the Stoics remind us, the only time we truly have is now. The time to move forward with clarity and purpose is now.”
Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
I thought I was crazy until I found Richard Feynman.
Feynman was not only among the most brilliant people on earth, but he transmitted something I've never seen in others.
Thread with some lessons from his peculiar way of being:
you can waste your entire life overthinking it: the window will slam shut, they will move on, your coffee will get cold, and you get tired and old. just act decisively, stop thinking so much.
If you think the limiting factor of programming is typing speed, you're not a good developer. A lot of people pushing for AI tools to help them "develop faster" also miss this :)
as an old, i humbly and soberly tell you:
YOU HAVE NO TIME AAAAAA SOCIETY IS TRICKING YOU DO IMPORTANT THINGS NOW DONT WAIT YOU HAVE NO TIME STOP DOING WHATEVER YOURE DOING RIGHT NOW AND DO THAT THING YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD BE DOING YOURE GOING TO DIE YOU HAVE NO TIME AAAAAAAAAAAAA
