The past few days I picked up developing software from scratch again - something I hadn't done for a few years.

The sheer amount of accumulated creative energy immediately overflowed to the other areas of my day.
I felt immensely productive, with full creative liberty and fully empowered.

It has also shown me how much I've changed and improved in these 10 years since I started developing for the web: something that would've taken me two weeks now takes me two days to build.

The compounding power of AI, improved tech stack and experience really shone through.

But out of those, experience has proven to have the highest factor.
More specifically - what not to do.
And with the ever Cambrian exploding tech scene, that stands more and more as the highest gain.
