The only wrong move is ignoring it all. Everything else is a front row seat. @marktechson.com to developers who feel behind.

THANK YOU! I totally agree :) That first huge green bar is from when I copied my writing from Google Docs over to an app called Neo by Hugh Howey (author of Silo series)

Writing stats for Oct 8, 2026 TIRED TODAY but spending my few minutes per day means I get to keep moving forward.

I have a writer friend who says he aims for 1000 words per day. That's so much lol **slowly walks back to my keyboard to drop these lil' 200 words**

Writing stats for Oct 7, 2026 Today was a little higher than yesterday but it's more about writing every day than how much I write.

A dark-mode writing progress dashboard. At the top, stats highlight 16,834 total words, 688 words written today, and an unassigned book goal target. Below, a line and bar chart tracks progress over the past 30 days up to "today." A flat baseline is followed by a sudden spike representing a large influx of words (indicated by a tall green bar), after which a golden line continues an upward trend supported by modest daily word counts over recent days.

I cannot wait to get the heir in the room to see this film! I've been telling him stories of how I grew up on this game and he is so fascinated by it. Going to be really special for us.

Not nearly as prolific as you are! But I do well with consistency on hard tasks...just a little bit every day. Currently writing a short (long) story. A tiny bit of sci-fi to move things along lol

You still have to pick what is worth building and worth telling people about. @marktechson.com on finite attention.
