Today was super fun

Today was super fun

What I learned:

- We all mess things up sometimes!! I value every single time everything goes wrong. it’s the perfect time to do some agentic RL irl. Tonight I messed up a client call and I felt like I’m not being respectful to their time, everything that could go wrong went wrong. I didn’t make the right call. But I learnt so much and Iana & I communicated immediately afterwards and I feel so grateful. Learning to handle edge cases& realize how much/fast I need to grow

- Otw back i was talking to Iana abt growing up in a very competitive environment- everything everywhere was fierce competition. People try to benchmark like everything and rank everyone. Everyone has this interesting mindset to be the winner but I don’t think a lot of people have thought through what it means to win.

I never felt I belong to those competition- I was pretty good at some of those like STEM Olympiad and I know I could do really good if I value those more. But something felt really off. The hidden competition in life is probably finding your competition instead of following competitions everyone’s going for.

And she asked me how do u make sure the competition you’re in is the competition. I think, when you’ve found that, you almost don’t feel like you’re competing because 1) you’re so sure you’re going to win 2) you really want to win. - > you’re so sure you’re getting what you want

- Different environments will nurture differently

- Realized im actually really opinionated.

- I think really hard abt maglev that I dream abt our projects… Very proud of our progress on all aspects. Feeling so grateful to be around great people at finc. Some convos are so fundamental to our growth. Happy that we aligned on our thesis and feeling the guidance of a northstar. Feeling there’s still room for acceleration & goin outward

- So much to smile about & look forward to
