Happiness is internal

Writing is a form of thinking, and leads me to find new ways of looking at things

Being contrarian is valuable

Make your dreams come true now, before something unimaginable stops you from doing so later

Paul Graham: “The main thing that leads reasonable people to dismiss new ideas is the same thing that holds people back from proposing them: the sheer pervasiveness of the current paradigm”

Being ascetic leads to a boring life and loss of attention to surroundings

I don’t regret past actions that I now deem wrong. They are all lessons that brought me to where I am today

Being loyal does not mean being a wishy-washy kiss-ass

I feel great joy when finding and squashing bugs in my own programs

I’m happy when others reïfy an idea of mine, since I get more time to work on something else
