Vadik Marmeladov's Codes of Practice: 1. Wear the uniform 2. Think long term (like 30 years from now) 3. Build stories and languages, not things 4. Create your own universe (or join ours) 5. Collect samples 6. Be a sample for somebody else 7. Look for loyalty, not for a skill set 8. Do not build utilitarian products. However, use them as a medium to express yourself 9. Do not exploit introverts - doesn't work long term. Learn to be an introvert yourself 10. Travel more 11. Do not work for corporations. Old corporations were meaningful when their founders were alive, but now, they have outlived their relevancy. They exist only to keep their numbers growing 12. New corporations are no better. They have scaled up features, and today's founders want hyper-growth for growth's sake (it seems like every line of code, every feature deserves its own corporation - it sure doesn't) 13. So, fuck the corporations 14. Tell the truth (bullshit never works long term) 15. Study and research fashion 16. Your phone is a temporary feature - don't spend your life on it (like you wouldn't spend it on a fax machine) 17. Fuck likes, followers, fake lives, fake friends 18. Remake your environment. Build it for yourself, and people will come 19. Only trust those who make things you love 20. Move to LA 21. Don't buy property 22. Don't go to Mars (just yet) 23. Use only one font, just a few colors, and just a few shapes 24. Use spreadsheets, but only to map out 30 cells - one for each year of the rest of your life 25. The next three are the most important 26. The past doesn't exist - don't get stuck in it 27. Don't go to Silicon Valley (it's not for you if you're still reading this) 28. Remind yourself daily: you and everyone you know will die 29. We must build the most beautiful things 30. We are 2046 kids
