After decades of coding, I can read and understand code as naturally as English or Swedish. As AI becomes the primary code generator, this skill will become invaluable.

We’ll evolve into the gatekeepers - like editors who approve manuscripts or art curators who authenticate masterpieces. But our stakes will be higher. We’ll be the ones signing off on code that artificial intelligence produces, code that could move markets or impact millions.

We’ll be the final human eyes, the ones who understand both the poetry and potential pitfalls in machine-written code.

How often do we pause to question if our goals still fit the person we are today?

Like hanging onto a jacket that no longer fits just because it used to be our favorite. We often cling to old dreams and ambitions that we’ve outgrown.

Are we still trying to achieve the goals of our past selves? Following an outdated map. Moving in a direction that no longer excites us.

Remember - the real failure isn’t in changing direction or letting go. The real failure is staying stuck. Doing nothing. Being afraid to admit we’ve changed. Every step forward teaches us something new about ourselves. Even if it means leaving old dreams behind.

Is this still your dream? Or are you just afraid to let it go?

Decisions are roadblocks in your story.

But they need to be made.

They are the way to change our stories, our identities.

Stories change through action, and action starts with decision. Changing your identity story isn’t easy.

Missing a few days is not a failure.

Stopping forever, might be.

Getting back on track is what matters.

Productivity alone is a flawed metric.
It often leads to an endless grind.

Connect it to other factors that matter.

Is the fun? Is it efficient? Are you collaborating? Does it make you happy?

The battle is in the start.

Once you start moving, it gets easier. Write the draft, copy-paste, steal, use AI — do whatever it takes to get away from the blank page as fast as possible.

Your first sentence does not need to be unique. Your last edit needs to be.

To spark creativity, sometimes you need to pitch the crappiest idea.

But be prepared to back off if your team starts taking it seriously.

We’re living in a world obsessed with output, heck even this page is a proof-of-it.

Our economic systems reward quantity, and now AI tools let us create more content than ever before.

As business publishing evolved from 500-page bricks to concentrated 30 minute reads, we might see a similar shift in digital content.

People don’t want more, they want better. They want signal, not noise.

The real question for the future will not be “How much can we produce?” it will be “How can we deliver value with less?”.

We often jump straight to solutions before really understanding the problem. It’s backwards, right?

When our ideas are too polished from the start, we leave no room for others to contribute.

That’s why rough ideas work better for team innovation.

Share them early and watch your team create something awesome.

Behind every quote is an anecdote. Behind every anecdote is a story.

It is tempting to stop at the quote, to grab the summary and run.

The real wisdom is what is behind that quote. What messy context gave birth to this clean and polished insight.

Summaries are like photos from interesting places on a friends social media. They should spark the need to go deeper to get to those “hmm”-moments that makes us pause where something resonates with or challenges us.

Bullet points might be efficient, but the real nuggets of gold is in the margins of the stories.
