Episode notes
Miracle Baby Cow Story
- ThePrimeagen shared a funny story about discovering a "miracle" baby cow on his ranch.
- The cow, born unexpectedly from open cattle, escaped pens and was eventually turned into steaks.
Prefer Simple Practical Tools
- Using practical tools that give you full control is better than abstractions that wrap and repackage.
- Simple logging that tells you a problem exists is more helpful than complicated debugging tools.
Start Working Immediately
- To build momentum, keep a consistent morning routine, preferably starting work immediately after waking.
- Avoid long morning rituals; what matters most is doing the same thing every day.
