Great X post. This was a really helpful reminder for me: “Force yourself and slog through the website and user signup and promotion and whatever else to ship it.” Karl also recently told me I ought to finish an app I was telling him about which I had built years ago and never launched. I’m committed now. Time to redeem my prior fickleness!
I’m glad you appreciated the references! It was very stream of consciousness (not planned out) so I wasn’t sure if the connections I was making would cohere well to the reader. “Oh this makes me think of Seneca”
