I still use RSS feeds. Yes, they still exist. Yes, I'm probably showing my age.
Every day, I scan what's new in the areas I care about. It's not just tech, it's food, design, ikea hacks, economy, science, games... Most of it I skip. Some I save for later. Occasionally something sparks a quick experiment.
Technology moves fast. AI has made it relentless. You can't stay on top of everything—but you can keep a pulse on the trends that matter to you. That investment compounds.
What separates people in this industry isn't just what they know today. It's the habit of continuous learning. The willingness to tinker. To try something small, learn from it, and move on.
Career advice: always have a tiny project on the side. Not a startup. Not a hustle. Just something you're tinkering with. Enjoy your human curiosity.
AI has made this easier than ever. You can prototype an idea in hours that would have taken weeks. Try it. If it's rubbish, bin it. No harm done. Get used to that process.
Recently I came across a project called Beads—a memory system for AI coding agents. My initial reaction was that it wasn't for me, but I trusted the author's track record and figured it was worth an hour of my time to try it. I've been pleasantly surprised.
So here's my question: what's your next tiny project?
Not a grand plan. Think agile. What could you build or learn in a day or two? What's been sitting in your "I should try that" list?
I'm genuinely curious what people are tinkering with right now.
