"He's like a father to me... Or an older brother"

Man, the Abstract community is the real paradise. It's not like other places online. Wherever you jump in, you end up learning something useful from people who actually know their stuff and don't just talk in buzzwords. I got to hop on a call with Zhenya the other day, and it was exactly that. He didn't give me some generic life coach speech. Instead, he gave me two concrete tips: one on how to structure my week to actually finish side projects, and another on a mental trick to stop overthinking decisions. That stuff hit home. As a 25-year-old figuring things out, it felt like advice from a smarter older brother, not a textbook. Really glad our paths crossed.
