Worked on AI Ad Kit - 
  • updated metadata
  • fixed some "hydration issues" (for the nth time! LMAO frakkin' NextJ-Ass)
  • enabled smooth scrolling
  • set up Clerk

Lesson learnt by burning my fingers: don't mix `npm` and `pnpm` 😭 
But 'twas nothing a `rm -rf node...` can't fix.

Feeling very optimistic* about AI Ad Kit! I am determined to finish it (no more half-assing things), launch it, market it, and get my first paying customer by 1st March! It's an unreasonable deadline but it's the only way to force myself to focus. 
 
*Or am I just being delusional? But you know what they say, behind every successful person is their delusional thinking. No one said that. I said that.

Thank you RJ for letting me know it's okay to be delulu.
Get yourself a delulu buddy who cheers you on like RJ does me.

I had forgotten how my mantra from 15 years ago - "Thoughts become things" - brought me all the success I ever wished for. I had two thriving brick & mortar businesses, a big apartment, nice car, pretty girlfriend. I didn't "lose it all" in some tragic twist of fate, nah (although that would make a good viral story). I sold the businesses and downgraded everything else so I could be location independent and become a digital nomad. The girl is another story for another time.

I am happy, don't get me wrong. But I've been complacent, and I could certainly do a lot better.

In any case, it's time to bring back that relentlessly positive mindset again. ✨
