Entering the Internet Arena

Commits have been made, Jarvis inbound. Grok told me to "scratch your own itch. It means building a product to solve a problem you personally experience, as it ensures you deeply understand the user's needs and are motivated to create a great solution." This is the next step in my search for consistency. Unable to remain focused on any one idea, consistently relapsing on YouTube rather than productivity.

Time to actually build outside the enterprise bubble. Posting makes things feel real. It’s something to watch grow, but more importantly, it forces action. Instead of just consuming endless content, it’s time to add to it. Who knows? Maybe this text gets slurped up into some massive language model someday—might as well get my...
