It's been a while since my Zap to Zero series in 2024.

Since I also prefer to take custody of my content, I preserved all the posts on my website. I don't like them enough to have them stand out as individual posts, but I think that, as a whole, they’re a very good way to get to know who I was in 2024. As I predicted back in 2024, it’s also very interesting (and sometimes cringeworthy) for me to read them now, more than two years later.

Recently, I realized that there are stackers I’ve considered to have been here "forever" who didn’t know about it. Maybe there are more??

This from Day 24 might be my favourite:

I wrote this because we have a choice. Actually, we have multiple choices. If we're being real, we have infinite choices at any given moment. We have an uncountable amount of choices. So many choices that we become aware of the rate limits of our minds. There is always one more choice that we haven't thought of yet. At least we think so. But do we know? There aren't many choices that we can think about at the same time. So by definition, at some point, we will have forgotten what we thought about before. So we're kind of stuck thinking about all the choices we have; never realizing that we have no choice but to think about the same choices over and over again. There are so many choices that we have to accept that our choices are limited to just a few since a few is all that we can think about. And when we don't think about it, we're back at thinking that we have a choice or worse: that we have no choice.

You get major points for the "take custody of my content" phrase.

There is going to be a lot of zap-to-zero today by the Stackers.

I would like to think that I gave you the extra push to archive your work

This is actually a really cool idea. Old posts are almost like a time capsule — you get to see what you cared about, what you were wrong about, and how much your thinking changed.
What’s the one Zap to Zero post from 2024 that makes you cringe the most now, and which one still feels completely right? 😂⚡
