Just fucking build something.
No one cares what fucking stack you use.
No one cares how elegant your setup is.
No one is waiting for your perfect architecture diagram.
They care if the thing exists.
If it works. If it ships.
Stop fucking talking.
You know what everyone's doing right now? Arguing about React vs Vue. Debating whether Tailwind is real CSS. Rewriting their webpack config for the 27th time. Reading another article about clean code. Planning. Discussing. Optimizing nothing.
Meanwhile the thing doesn't exist.
Here's what actually matters
Someone built Wikipedia with PHP and it serves 20 billion page views a month.
Someone wrote Reddit in Python when Python was slow as shit.
Someone built a web server in C and it still runs half the fucking internet.
Craigslist looks like a Geocities corpse and makes $700 million a year.
The tool is not the fucking thing. The framework is not the product.
Your hot take about architecture is not a solution to anyone's problem.
You are.
The only rule that matters
- Pick something. Anything. Just fucking pick.
- Build the damn thing. Ugly is fine. Broken is fine. Shipped is not negotiable.
- Ship it. Put it in the world. Let it breathe.
- Fix it later. You will. Or you won't. Either way it exists.
Useful beats clever every single time. Shipped beats perfect every single time. Done beats discussed every single fucking time.
The Reality Check
Does it help a real person? Does it solve an actual problem? Does it run without seventeen layers of bullshit?
Then it counts. IT FUCKING COUNTS.
Just fucking build something.
Ship it.
The world doesn't need another perfect plan.
It needs your imperfect thing that actually exists.
Here's the irony
I'm building a site about building instead of building the real thing I should be building. The irony is so fucking thick you could package it and sell it on Product Hunt.
But sometimes the meta-commentary is the thing (i hope).
Sometimes you build the stupid manifesto to remember you can still build anything. Sometimes shipping the joke is better than planning the masterpiece.
However...
This fucking website you are on right now?
30 minutes. (mostly wasted because the domain payment system is a fucking nightmare)
Ungently asked an LLM to build shit for me.
HTML and CSS. No framework. No build tools. No bullshit.
Just words, profanity, and a FUCKING point.
So...
Now close this fucking tab. Take a deep breath
And go build your fucking thing.
Make it ugly. Make it broken.
Make it useful. Make it exist!
Stop talking about what you're going to build.
Stop waiting for permission.
Stop optimizing for elegance.
Just fucking ship something.
