Originality is a marathon.

Changing My Strategy

I decided to change my strategy.

For a long time, I thought I should prepare for coding tests and build a strong portfolio. But even then, It felt heavy and boring.

If I spend all my time studying for tests just to change jobs, am I really building something that is mine?

So I made a simple decision.
Instead of training for a test, I will build my own projects.

I stayed too long in my ideas.

I liked thinking about big concepts and beautiful designs.
But thinking is safe. Thinking feels smart.
Building is different. Building is uncomfortable.
It shows what I really can and cannot do.

Decision

I decided to use LLMs (like Codex and Claude Code) to organize the rest of my notes.

Until now, I tried to organize my old Obsidian notes, my chats with LLMs, and my Apple memos. I did this because I wanted to understand everything. I wanted to fully understand all my past thoughts.

But I started to wonder if this was just another way to avoid building.

So I made a more extreme decision. I will let the LLM clean and organize everything. I will only keep the core ideas that truly feel like mine, and let the rest go.

My past thoughts are just past thoughts. They do not matter unless I build something now. A real trace is left only when something is actually done.

In the end, thinking more does not change anything. Organizing more does not change anything.

Conclusion

Only building changes me...
