Content Pillars

These content pillars are the scaffolding for everything I’ll write and build.
Each one speaks to a tension developers feel — and offers a pathway toward clarity, energy, and alignment.

🌱 1. Life Design for Developers

Helping devs design a life they don’t need to escape from.

Topics include:

  • Remote work, async setups, and location independence
  • Lifestyle design, minimalism, and energy-first planning
  • Personal reflection, systems thinking, and boundaries

Why it matters:
Many developers feel like their life is designed around their job — not the other way around. This pillar flips the script.

⚙️ 2. Building Solo Systems

Your energy, tools, and environment are your real tech stack.

Topics include:

  • Focus systems and local-first productivity tooling
  • SoloBoost design process and philosophy
  • Dev setups, automations, and attention-friendly workflows

Why it matters:
Productivity is too often treated like a performance. This pillar is about building sustainable, personal systems for solo creators.

🚢 3. Shipping with Sanity

Get things done without burning out or losing the spark.

Topics include:

  • Mindful iteration, sprints, and motivation loops
  • Finishing side projects with soul
  • Building in public and dopamine management

Why it matters:
Solo builders often oscillate between over-hype and over-isolation. This is about finding rhythm — not just output.

💪 4. Developer Wellness

Health is the foundation for deep work and creative focus.

Topics include:

  • Dev diets, mobility routines, and sleep strategies
  • Screen breaks, movement prompts, and posture resets
  • Simple, repeatable habits that increase flow

Why it matters:
The body and mind aren’t separate — especially when you’re building complex systems. This pillar connects physical and cognitive performance.

🧠 5. Philosophy & Reflection

Asking better questions about how we build, live, and think.

Topics include:

  • Stoic and solarpunk influences
  • Rethinking freedom, success, and identity
  • Slower, wiser approaches to work and self

Why it matters:
Meaning doesn’t come from output — it comes from clarity. This pillar helps devs re-center and reconnect.

🛠️ 6. Tools, Tech & Playground (Optional)

Dev logs, open-source projects, and system experiments.

Topics include:

  • How I built SoloBoost, GPT tools, or Shortcut systems
  • Experiments in habit tracking, flow gamification, or AI agents
  • Quick scripts, UI prototypes, and public repos

Why it matters:
It shows I live what I write — and gives people something tangible to remix or contribute to.
