Daily blogging gives you a time capsule. After 500 daily posts, I can start revisiting any date and see my thoughts: #1. One year ago, I wrote my notes from James Altucher’s Skip the Line. It debunks the idea of 10,000 hours for mastery. My favorite learning strategy is the 10,000 experiments rule. Instead of counting hours, run experiments: Quick and cheap actions that teach you something. With that idea in mind, I ran my February book experiment. #2. Two years ago, I wrote about my experience applying to FAANG. After a layoff, I desperately applied to a big tech company, despite rejecting the idea of joining Silicon Valley. Overconfidence and poor preparation led to rejection. It hurt then, but it became material for future writing. If you’re curious, here’s what happened on my blog around Feb 2025 and Oct 2025.
