fun is the only metric that doesn’t lie

and no, i don’t mean scrolling tiktok for 3 hours.

people chase metrics because they’re scared of the silence.

if you don’t know what matters, you optimize for what’s easy to measure.

money. title. reach. growth. prestige.

& slowly, you forget why you started doing any of it in the first place.

here’s the metric i use, am i having fun?
