Building things that make the world a bit better
I've had code in me since I was 5. Did all sorts of things along the way — private game servers with thousands of players, crawlers that hit Alexa rank 1,800, AI-powered tools, and high-performance data structures that beat the state of the art.
I'm from Greece. I call myself a CosmoHacker — not because it sounds cool, but because it reminds me what the point is. Make things a bit better for the people around you. That's the whole philosophy.
Someone whose actions are meant to make someone else's life a bit better.
You can have all the right ideas, read all the right books, believe all the right things — and still be a mess. Because your body is tired, your sleep is trash, and your nutrition is an afterthought.
I've lived this. On good days — when the body's working — I see things clearly. I'm patient. I'm kind. On bad days, same brain, same beliefs, but everything's harder.
Want to help people? Want to build things that matter? You need two things first: energy and good vibes. Without those two, even the best intentions go nowhere.
Most people are running low on both. Not because they're lazy. Because modern life drains you faster than you can refill.
I used to think if you just explained things well enough, people would get it. They don't. Not because they're stupid — because that's not how humans work. People need to arrive at things on their own.
You can't save everyone. You can't even reach most people. And that's okay.
The world is changing fast — AI, technology, everything. The old playbooks don't work anymore.
Focus on what you can actually affect. Build things. Help the people in front of you.
That's the real CosmoHacker move. Not grand plans to change the world. Just making things a bit better, wherever you can, with whatever you've got.
I share what I'm building and thinking in real time.
