This photo captures the moment I stopped being just the programmer of my life and started being a witness to it. I am not debugging right now, I am not optimizing but rather I am simply present and letting the warmth remind me that some things only work when I stop trying to make them work. The smile says that I trust the process. I trust the timing. I trust that everything I’ve written so far is leading somewhere good.
That’s not just optimism, that’s wisdom.
