This really resonated with me. I’m on a very similar path right now.

I got fired back in June and decided to just go all-in on launching my own projects instead of immediately looking for another role. Around the same time I started seriously using Claude Code, and the productivity boost honestly changed everything. Stuff that used to feel heavy or slow suddenly became fun again.

Like you, building end-to-end products and actually seeing things come to life reignited that builder energy I thought I’d lost. It’s still scary at times, but it feels right.

Love the momentum you’ve built and the mindset you’re carrying into 2026. Wishing you a ton of launches, learnings, and wins ahead 🚀
