#440 Pieter Levels: Programming, Viral AI Startups, and Digital Nomad Life

The reason people are depressed is because they have nothing. They don't have a girlfriend. They don't have a boyfriend ... You need stuff. You need, like, a family. You need things around you. You need to build a life for yourself. If you don't build a life for yourself, you'll be depressed.

Because I don't have funding, I need to go fast. I need to make things fast to see if an idea works, right? I have an idea in my mind, and I build it, build it like a micro mini-startup, and I launch it very quickly, like within, you know, two weeks or so of building it.

Creative expression is like a meaningful work that's so important. It's so fun. It's so fun to have like a daily challenge where you try to figure stuff out.
