Happy Easter!
We enjoyed with a beautiful service at our church and spent the day in the garden.
Which I have to say, I'm blessed I picked up gardening because Claude Code begins creating borderline infinite opportunities.
And I'm immediately thinking of "with great power comes great responsibility" 🕷️
As right now, companies and business owners are on a path often too focused on the unessential.
Because they can ship it/create it they will.
Single developers at companies right now are expected to ship features after feature because that is the new norm.
While marketers are expected to pump out hundreds of quality creatives every few days now that everyone is feeding the algo with so much creative.
But I'll say that I think this is a mistake.
Not the moving fast part which is the future but going wide vs deep.
Many will sprawl random ideas here or there not leading to anything of substance.
And as a result you're just mashing out AI slop that will never see the light of day.
The principle of focusing on quality AND quantity still apply.
Which means for me what I'm focused on this quarter going forward is spending more time in the garden and being VERY intentional about my work.
Where I'm not shipping something for the state of shipping.
It must pass the Essentialist filter and declare that this IS truely essential.
If it's not, it's just fluff or bloat.
And I prefer my businesses lean and dark green.
All this to say, question how essential this is before you build it.
I've got a running idea tab on my phone to keep these things in rather than jumping into my computer the second inspiration strikes.
The struggle will be to focus your power on what is truly essential.
