He really compressed 4 years of therapy into 60 seconds.

I think this might be the first time we have Open Source at the majority of the top 5,000 sites, which is a big win.

@made_in_cosmos Probably, but at least you can remind (self, and) others about the existence of the world's beautiful and hidden things

me trying to put into words all the ineffable wonders I've seen, knowing that writing will never do them justice anyway

Hi! I wrote a self-growth book and decided to publish it. This is my fourth, and first non-technical book. I hope you find it as useful as I did. lulu.com/shop/boro-sitn…

Gutenberg will be even bigger than WordPress. :) This just made my day.

@d_bozhinovski @zlatko_earth Thanks for the ping :) I'd blogged about my journey here bor0.wordpress.com/2023/03/22/goo…

@zlatko_earth paging @BSitnikovski 😁

@chinesegon The less you do, the harder it is to do things. A full time job is not an impediment to anything else in your life and may in fact create more time rather than the opposite by giving more meaning to your “free” hours

We're up to no good once again with Boro Sitnikovski Got questions about the UNIX way? First time hearing of the UNIX philosophy? This one is for you :) meetup.com/skopje-wordpre…

# on shortification of "learning" There are a lot of videos on YouTube/TikTok etc. that give the appearance of education, but if you look closely they are really just entertainment. This is very convenient for everyone involved : the people watching enjoy thinking they are learning (but actually they are just having fun). The people creating this content also enjoy it because fun has a much larger audience, fame and revenue. But as far as learning goes, this is a trap. This content is an epsilon away from watching the Bachelorette. It's like snacking on those "Garden Veggie Straws", which feel like you're eating healthy vegetables until you look at the ingredients. Learning is not supposed to be fun. It doesn't have to be actively not fun either, but the primary feeling should be that of effort. It should look a lot less like that "10 minute full body" workout from your local digital media creator and a lot more like a serious session at the gym. You want the mental equivalent of sweating. It's not that the quickie doesn't do anything, it's just that it is wildly suboptimal if you actually care to learn. I find it helpful to explicitly declare your intent up front as a sharp, binary variable in your mind. If you are consuming content: are you trying to be entertained or are you trying to learn? And if you are creating content: are you trying to entertain or are you trying to teach? You'll go down a different path in each case. Attempts to seek the stuff in between actually clamp to zero. So for those who actually want to learn. Unless you are trying to learn something narrow and specific, close those tabs with quick blog posts. Close those tabs of "Learn XYZ in 10 minutes". Consider the opportunity cost of snacking and seek the meal - the textbooks, docs, papers, manuals, longform. Allocate a 4 hour window. Don't just read, take notes, re-read, re-phrase, process, manipulate, learn. And for those actually trying to educate, please consider writing/recording longform, designed for someone to get "sweaty", especially in today's era of quantity over quality. Give someone a real workout. This is what I aspire to in my own educational work too. My audience will decrease. The ones that remain might not even like it. But at least we'll learn something.

the philosophizing continues :)

@SlackAPI Would've been great if there was a Slack dev Slack channel where we can discuss things like this :)

@SlackAPI did something change in the undocumented `users.admin.invite` endpoint? It seems to throw `requires_one_channel` even though both `channels` and `ultra_restricted` are set. This started happening today.
