3. Woz is proof that a natural brand can outlast any marketing strategy.
Be natural. Be authentic. Be yourself.
But remember, authenticity is not the finish line.
It is just the start. The rest is called real work and real talent.

2. We, the tech people, marketers, founders, creators, chase hacks, write posts, record videos, do everything we can just to get noticed.
Woz did not do any of that. He was simply a curious, authentic, brilliant engineer.
He never chased attention; the attention came to him.

Steve Wozniak spent the weekend in Moldova.
Since yesterday, my feed has been full of photos with him.
And it made me wonder: why is Woz a legend while most of us are just trying to be seen? 🧵

In the photos: UTM awarded Steve Wozniak the title of Doctor Honoris Causa.

Fun fact about disco legends on Instagram 😃

- C.C. Catch follows Dieter Bohlen and Thomas Anders
- Bohlen follows no one back
- Anders follows no one back but follows Jeff Bezos 💰

Back in the ’80s, they shared the stage; today, their connections live on in different ways!

In my life, I've learned this: 👉 No one cares how hard I work; users care about what I deliver.

Dima Botezatu @lao9s.bsky.social · Apr 10

I always check how people communicate in writing. If they can’t explain clearly in a message, collaboration becomes painful fast.

Do you have a pension strategy?
I've been thinking about it lately. Honestly, I don't have a formal plan in place right now. My current approach is simple: I invest in my businesses. This is the most practical path for me at the moment. How are you securing your future?

Dima Botezatu @lao9s.bsky.social · Apr 9

I don’t care if someone doesn’t know everything. What matters is how fast they learn and how they handle the unknown.

Bill Gates released the original source code for BASIC, which was accompanied by a beautifully crafted article, a significant piece of tech history.

> Hiring is tough, but onboarding is tougher without clear docs. Proper documentation helps new hires ramp up faster and work more efficiently. Tip: sort out your docs before hiring; it'll save time.

Some of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs: Oh Daddy, Gold Dust Woman, The Chain, and Dreams.
What’s your favorite Fleetwood Mac song?

6/ Fleetwood Mac reminded me of one simple truth:
It’s not what you’re going through.
It’s what you build despite it.

5/ When working on something, not every day feels productive.
It gets exhausting, sometimes chaotic. But I've learned that discipline beats inspiration.
Progress comes when you keep going, no matter what.
