December 4th, 2024 | Lost my edge

i feel like i've kinda lost my edge:
- i felt like i was 5 years ahead of the game
- nowadays not as much

i remember that in 2018-2020:
- i was looking for remote work
- and wanted to travel the world

i was also:
- building in public
- with no funding
- heavy automation
- and knew that i could hire VAs from overseas

post 2020 and going into 2025, it feels like the world has caught up:

- remote work and nomadism are mainstream (which is awesome)
- many people are building bootstrapped businesses online
- tech and automation have become commodities with no-code
- everyone knows they can hire from overseas

i also:
- skipped all crypto waves completely
- experimented with AI but prob had too high of expectations

i didn't find any game changing use case for my business, i thought it would replace humans and i could scale infinitely without ever hiring another person again.

and now i'm in a dilemma:
- do you look for the edge again
- or do you look for the timeless principles
