Watching industry news makes my life less happy

Thoughts

Watching industry news makes my life less happy
At bottom it's fear of loss
Cursor getting acquired
DeepSeek harness shipping
These have almost nothing to do with my direction
Seeing them early or late doesn't change anything
That mode is passively taking information
not starting from a real problem
and then looking for a solution

I need a stable, calm environment to settle
At least a few years
Not working for money
I should set a few action rules
When similar scenes show up
don't think, just execute
avoid endless inner grinding

1- Don't watch industry news
2- Don't watch peers' pay
3- Don't believe in one best path that lasts forever

1- Life itself has no meaning; there's no such thing as wasting opportunity cost
2- Your own happiness comes first
3- Return to people; attend to real living individuals
