🌅 Good morning, everyone! Welcome back to The Morning Rant, and boy, do I have a personal one for you today. If you're not in the mood for a deep dive into my life, feel free to click away, but if you stick around, I appreciate your company.
First things first, if my face seems a bit more distressed than usual, it's because I've been battling an eye infection since December 20. It's been a journey, but I'm on the mend now, thanks to some medications prescribed by an oculist.
Now, let's talk about 2023 – both from a business and personal perspective. But, before we delve into that, let's rewind to 2022, a fantastic year for my software development gig. Fast forward to April 2023 when FxFactory greenlit Transcriber, and my optimism went through the roof. Little did I know the success that awaited.
Cut to November and the announcement of the iPhone 15 Pro – a tech lover's dream. With my second job's revenue hitting the 80% mark of the first, the prospect of treating myself to the new iPhone was very much alive.
However, self-doubt crept in, and I kept raising the bar. It became a rollercoaster of goals and achievements until December 31, when my friends and even my wife encouraged me to splurge on the iPhone 15 Pro. But, as life would have it, my internal struggles led me to cancel the purchase on January 1.
Fast forward to January 3, a day spent playing with my child, and a fleeting moment of self-acknowledgment. It was in that moment that I decided to purchase the iPhone 15 Pro, only to return to a darker mindset when it arrived on January 5.
The video you're watching was shot entirely on my new iPhone, a device that represents more than just a technological upgrade. It's a symbol of the ongoing battle within myself.
I won't pretend this is a happy ending. I struggle with my inner demons daily, but I appreciate your support and understanding. If you didn't find this video appealing, drop a comment below – tell me what you think, or maybe share your thoughts on whether I should have gone ahead and kept the damn iPhone.
Thanks for tuning in, and here's to hoping for a brighter 2024 for all of us. 🌟

![The Morning Rant [ITA]: Lidea per unapp (che non svilupperò mai...)
Ciao a tutti! Oggi ci tuffiamo in un ragionamento che parte dalla famosa pubblicità dellAudi e ci porta a riflettere sul reale significato della tecnologia nel nostro quotidiano. Avete mai pensato a quanto ci importi realmente del saper fare quando si tratta di un’automobile, o di un qualsiasi altro dispositivo tecnologico?
Lontani da tecnicismi, vedremo insieme perché, in fondo, ciò che conta non è tanto la tecnologia “allavanguardia” quanto piuttosto lesperienza e lidentità che essa comunica.
In questo video, parlerò della mia esperienza recente in auto, della mia applicazione che sto sviluppando chiamata Best Frame, e del concetto di produttività legato all’uso quotidiano delle tecnologie. Non mancheranno riflessioni personali su salute e stress, e come tutto questo influisce sulla nostra creatività.
✨ *Gli argomenti che toccheremo:*
- Limportanza dellemozione nella pubblicità.
- Perché la tecnica perde rilevanza.
- L’idea di un’app che faciliti la produttività con uninterfaccia semplice e intuitiva.
- E un po di vita personale: mal di schiena e registrazione di idee in movimento.
Non dimenticate di lasciare un commento con le vostre opinioni e pensieri su questo argomento! Se vi è piaciuto, mettete un like, iscrivetevi e attivate la campanella per rimanere aggiornati sui prossimi video! 🔔
