I just got back from eating out with my family, so that felt good to check. The meal has already been paid for. That's always a great feeling. https://t.co/hvqhAOdM8m

usually I work on three or four projects at once while waiting for AI prompts to finish. It feels productive, but the mental overhead is heavy.
this morning I stopped. No new features, no prompt hopping. I just cleaned up my notes.

i recently quit the police academy.
i spent 18 months in training. Before I started, people told me I was crazy to leave my automated businesses behind. Now that I'm leaving the force, they probably think I'm crazy again.
before the academy, I had everything running on
