Day 294

Asim Akhtar,
Back


17:35 PM


Some of this stuff isn't fun at all


But alas, it must be done




must gamify it to make it more fun


need to level up



21:34 PM


Have one temporary issue with the Shopify API


Pissing me off since it works perfectly in the test thing but gives me an error when I do it in my app


Anyway...


If that doesn't work I may have to go through app review to get permission to use the API, which will delay launch


Everything else I can do with create edit refund duplicate for self service (although I haven't done that yet)


Just this tiny one 'create checkout' so the user can pay


Ideally I want that instead of them having to receive an invoice in their email etc


More clicks = more delays


Also a little tired today, partially because of the temporary issue


Will probably fix and figure it out tomorrow in a few minutes or few hours



All else is just development time, taking time to make sure everything makes sense, catch all the edge cases and stuff


E.g. some stores won't accept returns


They're really simple but still takes time to write everything out



Idk just not feeling it


But as I type those words out


I realize


That I create the neuro feedback loop


Feelings are a choice


I must simply play the game, pass the obstacle, level up, speed up, move on, and unlock new quests


We've done it before


We'll do it again


No time for complacency or weakness


We have things to build


The grand mission is at stake


I will not stumble over a tiny obstacle


This is what my competition does


Hire incompetence, breed complacency


We must never become like them


1 Vs 100


I will win


I must win.


There is no room for error. No room for self doubt


No room for fear


Only room for victory


Because I will not lose the war


And the battle is won or lost in the mind


Failure was never an option


We were playing a much bigger game


All failure is simply a lesson


And lessons make you stronger, smarter, quicker


They don't want to learn them? Good.


We'll outcompete them.


We'll do the things they don't want to do.


That is how we win.


By staying on the path.


The straight path. To victory.


This is the game I want to play


And I refuse to lose the vision


All obstacles are temporary


I will not lose the war


Seconds of weakness pale in comparison to lifetimes of strength


Keep moving forward


Onward, we go
