It sucks. What sucks?

When we say it sucks, what do we really mean?

  • Does the situation suck your energy away?
  • Or do you turn that around and suck the situation to get nourishment and learnings from whatever was presented to you?

The word “suck” means to take in liquid and nutrients, so it might be worthwhile to change “it sucks” to “I suck” instead.

At the same time, “I suck” takes on a very different definition from what one would normally use it today.

“I suck”.

Gimme more.

Let’s go.

Join My Newsletter

I share what I’m learning on this newsletter: code, building businesses, and living well.

Sometimes I write about technical deep-dives, product updates, musings on how to live, and sometimes my struggles and how I’m breaking through.

Regardless of the type of content, I do my best to send you an update every week.

If you’re into making things and growing as a person, you’ll probably feel at home here.
