I can’t help to wonder how many wealthy US citizens will renounce their citizenship and buy into the $1M Trump Card to avoid paying taxes as a US citizen. Most of the benefits of citizenship without the ability to vote or report foreign income.

Hey @Tesla and @elonmusk, when are we gonna get the Grok app integrated into the car?

@diddysfather @RachelTrue He didn’t actually, he had started X.com, a similar platform as PayPal. Eventually, instead of competing with each other Peter Theil met with Elon and they decided to join forces. Your point is taken however, as it was very early as far as PayPal goes

@garytlitfake @Jack_Raines ☝️ This. Clear is awful.

@Jack_Raines Clear has become the worst flex caused by premium credit cards. Last week on my last trip I walked by the Clear line that was relatively short, maybe 10 deep, but instead I went to the TSA Pre line and walked straight to the front. Not one person in line.

"Airport lounges" are insane because they appear to be one of the most legitimately dangerous credit card incentives with the potential to gigafry your personal finance habits for the sake of “stacking points” to access a 6/10 buffet and free coffee but are exclusively used by literal turbonormies who unironically want to like "fly like the 1%ers who get SkyClub access on their business cards” and basically get oneshotted by them.

@derekhalpern @elonmusk You forgot to add #NoMoreHashtags 😊

@elonmusk Now that’s something I can get behind: send people to jail for using hashtags.

Please stop using hashtags. The system doesn’t need them anymore and they look ugly.

@BoCosens lol

@bcarlso You SOB, you must of hacked the system!

But I can repost and still tell everyone I’m waaaaayyyy cooler than @BoCosens

@Grady_Booch It has been many years since I’ve written that. Kinda miss it actually.

@dhh I agree! Things change too much and the definition of “right” is pretty fuzzy. Love it.

@bcarlso That debate is still going! Very few questions in computers are ever truly settled once and for all. github.com/rails/rails/is…

This reminds me of the old “Multi-processing or Multi-threading” debates back in the day.

@mrpoush @dustinson That’s interesting. I’ve always left the defaults for that. Wonder how much time that little tweak saves?

Get with it people.

@scottsauber For sure

@bcarlso Underrated one not enough people know about that literally everyone could use: Command + L in web browsers on Mac or CTRL + L in browsers on Windows highlights the address bar if you wanna change the URL. Works on Windows with Windows Explorer too for changing the path.

I don't have an engineering degree, but this looks like a data leak

@aaron_hoffman @agile_johnville Reminds me of the old Tandem/HP Nonstop architecture

Yet another piece of supporting evidence arguing that Microservices should most likely NOT be the backbone of your high performance infrastructure.

@Grady_Booch Would be interesting to red yellow green this and look at your life as a heat map

@unclebobmartin I’ve worked with these things a bit. I don’t think I agree with you on this. I’ve provided tests and gotten what I believe is good code as a result. I have certainty seen the opposite but your comments are overly strong IMO.

There is no way to avoid or replace the hard work of thinking. When you write a test you are thinking about how to specify behavior. When you make the test pass you are thinking about how to implement that specification. When you refactor you are thinking about how to communicate both the specification and implementation to others. You cannot replace any of these thought processes with tools. You cannot generate the code from tests, or the tests from code, because that would cause you to abandon a critical thought process. And may God help you if you use a tool to do the refactoring for you. The purpose of a tool is to enable and facilitate thought; not to replace it.

@vongillern Interesting. I agree with you other than the “I would vote for trump” thing. I’m socially liberal but fiscally conservative. Maybe libertarian? Not sure, not into politics much.
