Three moments that completely rewired my perspective:
1. First dollar earned online—2008. That was the gateway moment.
2. A 10x cryptocurrency trade during the 2017 bull run. Suddenly the rules felt different.
3. Just shipped my first AI-powered app using vibe coding. Yesterday.
Each time, I get this same feeling: *everything's about to shift*.
Funny pattern though—roughly 9 years between each breakthrough. Makes you wonder if there's something to these cycles. The online economy evolved, crypto markets moved through their boom-bust rhythms, and now AI is reshaping what's possible for solo builders. Each wave forced a complete recalibration of what I thought was possible.
It's wild how stepping outside your comfort zone every ~9 years somehow becomes a rhythm.
