I’ve been thinking about journaling as a long-term practice and wanted to ask people here about their real experiences.

Many people journal regularly — writing about daily events, emotions, decisions, or reflections. Writing itself often feels helpful in the moment, but I’m curious about what happens over longer periods of time.

After months or years of entries:

* Do people actually gain new self-understanding from journals? * Do you revisit old entries and notice patterns in thinking or behavior? * Has journaling ever influenced a later decision in a meaningful way? * Or does it mostly function as a temporary mental release?

One thing I’ve noticed personally is that journals tend to become archives rather than tools for insight. It made me wonder whether the missing piece is reflection across time rather than individual entries.

I’ve been exploring this idea conceptually and put together a very early explanation page while organizing my thoughts (not a product launch — just context for the question):

Curious how people here think about journaling — especially those who have kept journals for years.

For the people who have been laid off, I think the letter by Jack is a disservice. So I crafted a more direct letter. Hope future letters follow this approach.

Today we are making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we are reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. This means over 4,000 of you will be leaving the company.

I want to be incredibly direct with you about why this is happening.

The Reality of the Decision

First, let’s be clear: you are not being replaced by AI. The technology is not better than you, and it didn't "outwork" you. The truth is simpler and more frustrating: we planned a specific strategic direction, and it didn't work out. We over-extended, and we now need to course-correct to keep the business viable.

However, we operate in a market that demands a specific kind of "success" story. If we simply announced that we missed our targets and need to cut costs, the market would react with volatility, punishing our valuation and jeopardizing our remaining operations.

The "AI-Enabled" Narrative

To protect the company’s standing, we are framing this transition as an evolution into an AI-enabled organization. By attributing these cuts to the "unprecedented efficiency" of intelligence tools and flatter team structures, we signal to the market that we are cutting losses not out of failure, but out of a futuristic lean toward profitability.

This is a strategic "win-win" for the company’s narrative and its shareholders. It allows us to cut costs while being perceived as an industry leader in the AI revolution.

I recognize, however, that this is not a win for you. It is a bitter irony that we are using a narrative of "technological replacement" to mask a human-led planning error.

Support for Departing Team Members

Because this decision is a result of our planning—not your performance—we are providing the following transition package:

Salary: 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure.

Equity: Vested through the end of May.

Healthcare: 6 months of continued coverage.

Hardware: You may keep your corporate devices.

Stipend: $5,000 USD (or local equivalent) for your transition.

Closing Thoughts

To those leaving: I am deeply sorry. You built this company, and you remain world-class talent. Any organization would be lucky to have you, and I hate that the "market-friendly" version of this story implies otherwise. To those staying: We are going to "own" this AI-first identity moving forward. It is the core of how we will talk to our customers and our investors from this moment on. We will build with "intelligence" at the center, because that is the future the market has decided to reward.

Stack: WASM + Rust + Macroquad

I saw that a company had posted a cool job ad where you had to apply directly via a REST API. That gave me the idea to gamify my resume as well.

Since I was bored, I vibe coded a bit and voilà, the result was ready.

I think it's something new and fun that might put a smile on people's faces.
