hello world

package hello

// Hello returns a simple greeting.
func Hello() string {
    return "Hello, World!"
}

• “hello, world!” is the ultimate rejection of complexity
• two words, one comma, that’s it
• while everyone else is overthinking their first move, you’re already shipping

pure momentum

• every time i type it, i’m reminding myself:
• stop overcomplicating
• just build
• whether it’s your first program or your thousandth
• “hello, world!” is pure momentum

proof of simplicity

• it’s proof that you don’t need a 50-page plan
• you don’t need perfect architecture
• you just need to start

1,000+ hello world files

• 1,000+ “hello world” files in my github
• i’m not ashamed

• it’s not laziness - it’s discipline
• every project starts the same way:
• strip away the bullshit
• focus on what works
• ship something real

the loop

hello world --> shipped code --> real feedback --> better code
         ^                                            |
         '--------------------------------------------'

• that’s the loop
• not some bullshit waterfall
• not endless planning meetings
• just build, ship, learn, repeat

killing the fear

• “hello, world!” isn’t about the code
• it’s about killing the fear
