I don't have anything insightful to say right now.
Tackled another nasty bug today - it keeps showing me that I need need need to focus more on testing. Both unit testing and QA/integration stuff.
I also have to accept that there will be bugs. There are always bugs in all software.
Billion-dollar companies have bugs. Slack has gone down for hours for all customers at times - which is just crazy to think about.
I'm in this accountability group with a couple friends where we post our monthly and daily goals. One of the things we've been talking about in the group is to "have less goals" or be more focused with our goals.
My goals for March were:

My goals for March were:
- Launch the Starter Story community
- Get Pigeon freemium ready for mid-April launch
What's crazy is that it's March 27th and I already accomplished both of those goals - and especially, I got #2 done before March was even over.
I'm really excited for April - because I'm going to set bigger goals, but still, just 2 or 3 of them.
Again, I keep thinking about Peter Thiel's quote:
Take your 10-year life plan and ask, Why can't I do this in six months?
This quote obviously a bit of hyperbole, but it keeps me thinking about what's possible and how I can hack my own limits.
David Goggins' Can't Hurt Me book also had me thinking like this as well.
It's just so inspiring to hear of people that did extraordinary things - some of my questions are...
- What makes them like this?
- How did they hack their own brain to think like this?
- What happened in their life that made them like that?
I want to learn more about this.
