Remember When You Used to Build Just for the Hell of It?
Remember when you stayed up till 2am building something no one asked for?
When it wasn’t about traction or timing or team — just the idea, and the high of making it real?
You didn’t need permission. You didn’t need a pitch deck.
You needed a problem to chew on and just enough coffee to outrun self-doubt.
And then it got serious.
Meetings. Metrics. Grown-up goals.
And the fun? Gone.
Urgency is a drug. But joy is a weapon.
One burns you out. The other makes you unbeatable.
You don’t need more structure. You need more obsession.
Not more goals — more weird experiments.
Not more hacks — more hell yes.
If this stirred something you didn’t know you missed...
Watch it. Then go make something just because you can.
Best,
Peter Delle
