~ I'm moving to US 🇺🇸 ~ My visa got approved today. After 2yr sabbatical, I'm moving in to New York - just in time for FarCon! Nowhere in the world have I experienced such an incredible mix of generosity, high energy, and ambition as in US. Although I have traveled *a lot* over the past decade and was a resident in several countries, the idea of coming to the US never crossed my mind. Last year was different. I got to FarCon '24 and traveled across the states. I had no plan. I ended up attending weddings and family reunions. Online friends and old colleagues welcomed me into their homes. There were stretches of days when I didn't spend a cent on food because of generosity of my American friends (who won't take no as an answer!) My only hope is that I will be able to give back to those who treated me so dearly and contribute to a culture that made me who I am today. And now, after such a long break, I'm back (again again again again) in business (literally)

One way to internalize this is by having friends from diverse industries and economic backgrounds Exposure to struggles outside your bubble → higher threshold for personal drama

First time in months I started day before 10am. Awake at 7am. Gym. Work with @m3ndy. Show @kayaql the city. Visiting @michal for the weekend. Life is good. https://open.spotify.com/track/7qHOEPkIEjhp1q5MjWzgUZ?si=s1OzCZcWS1yT-jA68aXJyA&context=spotify%3Asearch%3Atakw%2Bit%2Bslow

Day report Good: Finished a design I’ve been working on past 2 months Bad: It’s past 5pm, feeling weak, haven’t eaten anything, heading to gym now Cannot resist inspiration when it strikes. I spent days starting blankly to nail down the concept and all that drudgery paid off today

Effect, the TypeScript library I use daily, began as a port of ZIO, a Scala library. Since then, its ecosystem grew tremendously and helped scale many businesses, including mine Seeing John, the author of ZIO, genuinely supportive of the success of something that began as a port of his own ideas embodies the ethos that inspires me and many others to commit their free time to free software Grateful to the Effect team I had the pleasure of sharing Italian wine and dinner with. I’m soon open-sourcing a full-stack Effect framework and linked data library I’ve spent the past six months building to give back to the community. Effective love to you all

She just landed. Her first message after landing? A pitch deck she did over 24h flights 💜
