Sep 21, 2021. My 13yo brother recently created a discord server where he gathers a community of funny people to create memes, chat and just have fun. He noticed that there has not been a big Vietnamese discord server yet, so he decided to create one himself. By day 14, he has got 146 people in the group and 13k chats in the last 24h. Pretty impressive! He proudly showed me the statistic of the graph and I'm happy that he's having fun.

This got me thinking about a blog post from Paul Graham, A project of One's own. It's great when you get to have a project of your own; to do something that gets you excited, or engaged; to do something that you find meaningful. Create meaning for life instead of searching for it!

My mom finds that he's spending too much time on it and not studying school classes enough. Well, I think it's good that he's learning what actually matters to him. He gets to learn about community building, how to grow and maintain it. I think the skills here is what really matters and it will benefit him later in life.
