@WuTangWallyNy @notanother3putt @rarecarat Second hand diamond jewelry ain’t much my man. I get that you’re protecting your interests but selling a diamond for 20% what you paid is not an investment.

I like making software and playing guitar. Not in that order.

@_will_archer @notanother3putt @rarecarat Sorry pal but I grew up in the jewelry industry and sold diamonds since I was 16. Lab grown diamonds have zero second hand value. Natural diamond do infact hold value. The cut, color, clarity and size will determine how much.

Engagement ring shopping? 💍
What size can you get for $5,000?
- Natural: 1 carat
- Lab: 2.5 carats

Nowdays on the Twitters... is it better to post more often than shooting for quality posts?

If you’re looking for a heuristic, “women will not be seen with these men under any circumstances” is an *excellent* one.

“Libertarians are very much on their own . . . on the idea that we should have open borders to destroy the welfare state. Alex Nowrasteh of the Cato Institute says this and Bryan Caplan says this and no one likes those guys because of this, like stop, you’re weird, you know? And your movement doesn’t have any girls in it and that’s why, because you’re just creepy weird.” -@Noahpinion. podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/e22…

@Jowanza @eightsleep I was looking up parts to build something just like this— I found a couple things but nothing with a feedback loop for natural sleep cycles during the night. Much easier to just buy it, I already have plenty of work.
English
@_will_archer @eightsleep I love it. Sleep way better at home than I ever do on the road. Being able to sleep colder has made a huge difference in falling asleep and staying asleep for me.
English
Weird that the @eightsleep recap from the email reports different numbers than if you open it in app 🫠

@m_franceschetti @Jowanza @eightsleep Haha thanks Matteo but I don’t know you or them. No offense intended, just stating the facts.

@unpilottedmotto @GergelyOrosz @codeOfRobin Software is still heavily bespoke most of the time. A whole lot of engineering uses pretty established sets of techniques. Civil the most so.
English
@_will_archer @GergelyOrosz @codeOfRobin I wonder how’s that different from other types of engineering? A civil engineer can also have a degree and suck.
English
Many bootcamps are (and will be) going out of business as we are entering a time when college grads with years of study, plus internships, are finding it hard to get entry-level dev jobs.
Bootcamps were thriving at a time when there was a shortage of even new CS grads. Pre-2022.
Catalin@catalinmpit
Perhaps because people finally realised a big chunk of them are not worth it or are borderline scam? There were/are some really good ones, but many of them seem to be just a money-grab. I know quite a few people that got burnt.
English
@GergelyOrosz @codeOfRobin It’s just so hard to credentialize software— lots and lots of folks have the degree or certificate or whatever and… still suck. Why is the interview process so weird and awful? Because so many devs suck bad.
English
@codeOfRobin Yes. Or any other engineering profession: electrical engineering, mechanical engineering etc.

If you see me using this phrase ever, that's *exactly* what I mean.

@soulchildpls I almost want to charge a dollar for a free app on android just to keep the trolls out.
English
@soulchildpls @ios_dev_alb I am also confused. ObjC? Core data? Tests? Which is the hard part?
English
@ios_dev_alb This is how I start a new app usually 😂, what challenge

@mnwsth Most credible e plantation I’ve heard so far is that the board was from an earlier simpler stage in the company. Altman (appropriately) wanted them replaced with heavy hitters that could handle running a company of this magnitude. The board found out and moved first.
English
Alright, so where are we with the Altman saga?
You have any answers for me Twitter?

@Jowanza No it’s cool there’s no way a bunch of teenagers, often from poor backgrounds, who legally cannot get paid while working for a billion dollar enterprise, would be affected by sports books.
Never heard of such things before.
English
I agree with this completely. I don’t want this as part of sports broadcasting.
B1G_Ryan@B1G_Ryan
This shit is so gross man. The normalization of sports gambling and integrating it with leagues, teams, media, and broadcasters is insanely horrible longterm. I cannot even begin to describe how much I hate this.

@chrisrbleak @NateSilver538 Listen your state flag is not required to look like a startup logo.
I am on team industry eagle forever.
It’s way way cornier to be trying hard to have a cool flag.

@NateSilver538 Read up on Utah’s recent flag journey. People have seriously freaked out.

Not naming names (Nebraska) but there's at least 20 other states that oughta do this. At least.

@terribledustin They usually want to be CEO. This makes for a very bad deal for the tech cofounder.

Dear Indie Hackers who code,
What is stopping you from partnering with someone that does marketing?
This is the way.

@SandLot84 @Jowanza Totally get your point, i just think their impact on the economy is overstated.
English
I’m not saying they’re going to get wiped out. I’m saying they’re overextended, which makes them vulnerable. If you’re surviving on debt, and lose your paycheck, you stop buying things you don’t need. The consumer stops consuming, and there’s your recession. They don’t have to get wiped out for that to happen.
English
The behavior of my least financially responsible friends is a good proxy for the overall health of the economy
Wendy Peffercorn@SandLot84
I have now had SEVERAL close friends confide in me that they are surviving on debt that are dual income households earning 250-400k per year. Keeping up with the Jones’s is a major priority to that subset of earners, and they’re all in trouble because of it. They will spend until they can’t, but I assure you they are rapidly nearing the point where they can’t. Everything I see with my own eyes in my own life and community are now screaming recession. Wasn’t the case a year ago, I see it now.
