This article really resonates with me. I’ve spent the last two months creating a personal/portfolio website, developing an interactive resume ai, creating an open source web scraping utility, and researching tech non stop.
I would say I’ve been 80% exploring and 20% exploiting/doing. Everyday I come across tech that could help me build something even more efficiently. Examples include plasmic.app, directus.io, and tools for SEO combined with ideas of automation.
But I also am left with the feeling that I need to switch gears and do 80% doing and focus on just that one project. It’s just hard finding an ideal project/saas idea to commit to because it’s a common theme that we fail much more than we succeed. But as the author pointed out, that’s just another person’s mental model. I really need to find out myself.
