2024 in review: A year guided by the principle "Snowballs, Not Slot Machines" 🏔️
Small, consistent efforts compound into meaningful momentum. Here's how it played out...
1/11
I am afraid India lost her last philosopher-king

RT @PaulAnleitner: Young men,
I present you with two different visions for what you can aspire to have on Christmas.
Only one of these is…
In pursuit of minimalism been trying to cut down on apps I use.
Looks like I have to use multiple apps even for note taking.
I love both obsidian & logseq and can’t seem to reconcile into just one

"Get the facts, or the facts will get you. And when you get them, get them right, or they will get you wrong." - Dr. Thomas Fuller
I disagree.
Much more easier to unite public towards a cause than uniting / fixing politicians.
If SK doesn't piss off Trump & team and knows how to work with egoistic team (which I'm sure he knows), he will get this done even if public doesn't like.
Other way doesn't work x.com/nutanc/status/…
How should I go about if I want to chat with my notes within obsidian vaults? Not just querying but may be create summaries, new notes etc.
In our colony people park their cars on the road, often blocking the way. And if you ring the bell and ask them to move their car which is blocking the way, they get offended.
This is new India.
Have any of you used cursor type of Agentic IDEs in an enterprise?
What’s your experience?
What are the dos & donts?
Remember: Be ambitious in your BEING and DOING.
Your HAVING will become inevitable.

6/6 https://t.co/jpdz1uyXSm
The real magic happens when you align all three:
BE → drives your → DO → which creates your → HAVE
Without alignment, you'll always find excuses or face internal resistance.
5/6
Examples of powerful BE goals:
• To build wealth → Be frugal & think long-term
• To build networks → Be generous & consistent
• To achieve fitness → Be health-conscious & disciplined
4/6
But the most powerful (and often ignored) are "BE" goals - your core identity.
Because here's the truth: Your actions will always align with who you believe you are.
3/6
All "have" goals should be accompanied by "do" goals:
• Jog 3 km at least 3 days a week
• Invest at least 10k per month
• Have at least one 1-1 with manager
These are trackable, adjustable, and keep you accountable.
2/6
Most of our goals look like:
- Get promoted
- Buy a car
- Save 1 lakhs
- Lose 5 kg of wt
There is a problem with these goals.
They are "have" goals. This is what everyone sets.
These "have" goals are not enough.
1/6
As the year ends, most of us will be looking to set new goals.
There are 3 types of goals you need to set, and most people only focus on one.
Let me break down the hierarchy of goal-setting that actually works:

Our neighbor's daughter came for holiday. Parked her car in front of our gate which we were ok.
Whenever we had to go out, she had to take her car. By the evening, she was upset that she has to take it 3 times already!
Entitlement!
What is your take on using GenAI?
After I posted about using GenAI to generate images, an artist tweeted
> The image is created by scraping artists’ work without their consent, with no remuneration or credit, and directly profiting the AI company that did it.
He has a point.
We don’t ask questions as adults because we didn’t get answers as kids.
Very few kids can retain curiosity to keep asking questions even when they are told to shut up.
Wondering how these Agentic IDE’s will drive growth of digital products?
If cursor can write CSS, why I need tailwind or bulma?
I just want to view traffic challans issued against my car and pay it.
Why I need to provide mobile number, link with aadhar I don't know. https://t.co/0nKteGDlas

Published weekly notes here: jjude.com/2024-week-note…
Been publishing for the last 18 weeks or so.
Do you use both logseq & obsidian?
What’s your experience are your use cases?
So you keep these notes separate or do you sync them?
@1pulkitsaini > competition is for losers work when one is at the frontier

I’ve always been - improve yourself. Competition is for losers.
But in SEO that seems to be a hot topic. Why?

@dipaksharma27 @dhume I am only answering to the point that did GoI hire experts. They did.
There are provision to hire for longer term too. Ex: IT folks can be brought in via NISG. I know folks who worked for 5 - 6 years. More than that you get into rut of govt thinking. So they leave on their own
@dipaksharma27 @dhume Modi and BJP demeaned Nandan and Ranjan. That didn't stop UPA to hire experts.
Opposition parties (whoever) will oppose.
The trouble is at least to some extent, UPA & MMS looked for expertise. They didn't look for yes men (and women). Not sure of now.

GoI hired experts before - Sam Pitroda, Nandan, MMS, Ranjan ...
We demean these experts and then say we don't hire experts into GoI.
What we are really saying is: GoI doesn't hire experts I like. x.com/dhume/status/1…
@dipaksharma27 @dhume I was a consultant in MCA overseeing LLP e-gov development before 2014.
There were many more individuals like me there who were hired for their expertise.
Don't forget MMS himself was an outsider.
So it is not that experts were not hired in India.
@rishabh_grg Why would you think that? I still refer to your ladder post. I have it in my obsidian vault.
You are way matured than most others for the age group.
When you read something amazing in the past, tell yourself: "Damn! I was so smart; can't wait to see what I'll create now"
RT @rishabh_grg: Is it safe to say that:
When you look back at your old posts/work and have immediate thought - fuck, this sucks. You've g…
