Don’t forget to ask for help.

This is as much a note to myself as it is to y’all.

I’ve got this reflex to “do it myself.” No idea where it started - probably a holdover from post and management culture. That slightly toxic, “Don’t come to me with problems, come with solutions” mindset.

But here’s the truth: we’re in this life together. No one knows you need help unless you ask.

I forget to ask a lot. Lately, it’s just been me and GPT, trying to hammer out agent workflows like we’re in some productivity bunker. Not ideal. Not smart.

I’m not the smartest person in this space—Reddit reminds me daily. But you know what? That guy sniping me? He’s got answers. And asking him - or anyone - for help often ends up being the best move I could make.

So ask for help. Ask each other. Ask me.
Seriously - I love helping.
