> If you could give advise for your younger begginer self advice that you know now that will significantly speed up the process what it would be ?
I'm more proud of my younger self than my current state. I'd like to get advice from that version if possible. But honestly, I don't think there's anything I could have told myself that would've sped up my process in any real way.

> What is your thought on using ai to learn the concept of software development not to generate the code and lastly should a newbie build all those todo and crud apps for learning
Use any tool at your disposal to learn and improve yourself or build things. My opinions don't matter. You don't need to build tood or crud apps. When I made my first project I've never done a todo app. Just find an idea that motivates you enough to keep pushing and build that.

> Would you work at Vercel if they offered you a job? 👀
Depends on where better auth goes. I've had offers from other vercelish companies recently 👀

> Dev tools or consumer products?
It doesn't matter. Just create something that you personally want to exist, or at least something that someone really close to you would benefit from. software is meant to solve problems. If you don't understand the problem, you can't truly solve it. And the best way to understand a problem is to have had it yourself. that said, if you have both a consumer and a dev tool problem, it depends on how far each could go, which one is more ambitious, and which one you think you're a better founder fit for.

> If not for money. Do u see you self coding?
Actually, money isn't really a driving factor for me, and neither is the actual activity of coding. I'm just a creative person, and I like being involved in ambitious things.

> how did you manage 4 jobs at a time?
I didn't. or at least they didn't last long.

> Do you have second thoughts about dropping out? What was your reasoning behind it?
I never had second thoughts. I just didn't think it was worth pursuing, and I barely attended class, so I hated arguing with teachers after every final.

> How long did it take you to reach the level you are? And how do you handle burnout?
- I started programming around May/June 2022.
- I haven't really experienced burnout, but sometimes I get really bored of solving dull problems and end up procrastinating on random things. I still haven't found a solution for it.

> Besides better-auth, are there any other projects you’re currently working on or thinking about?
there are other projects like better-call and better-fetch but they are still related to better auth so not really

> What's your definition of success?
I should have a profound answer but I think just waking up most days feeling free and happy about the state of things.

> I don’t have (you know who I am) as much of a skill set as you do, but I work for this big company. Why don’t you apply for companies like Google or Amazon?
😁 thank you for the compliment but I honestly don't think I'll take a job unless it feels somehow meaningful. Money isn't a motivating factor for me, nor is working for a big company. Of course, I'd love the opportunity in general as much as the next person, but I know the novelty will wear off, and within a month or two, I'll feel like I'm back at square one, where I actually feel useless. I don't think I'm a good employee, as much as I'm a creative person who just wants to do something that feels important.
