Here‘s my hack: Surround yourself with equally capable finishers. Once I figured out that there were lots of people out there who had great finishing, endurance and project management skills, but lacking the knowledge and the creativity in how to build them, I just started to put both of them together. Granted, it often doesn‘t feel good being pushed into finishing your own things, but the joy of having delivered som…
But where do you find such community? twitter? indiehackers?

Exactly two of these releases are actually used by other people. The other 53 are experiments never has been or never meant to be finished. However! This year I finished a book called Geometry for Programmers (and I'm proud of it so here's the link:…
I just ordered the book. I can't wait. I'm working on a group of ideas that relate to data engineering and math and computer languages. I am looking forward to sitting down with your book. I have been looking at design and also at how sympy connects numpy and numba and to the Spark ecosystem with sympytorch. This also means looking at performance issues and things like Rust and this new Modular AI Python derivative Mojo. Mojo is based on Python but introduces some new static memory objects into the infrastructure. But doing so boosts internal speed enormously. I have yet to see what PSF has to say about Mojo. But I have only asked around slightly so far. Thanks.
