@jaynitx He left and created his own online business and now he is his own boss and is financially independent

Jeff Bezos spent 3 hours on a physics problem with his roommate. They got nowhere. So they went to the smartest guy at Princeton. He looked at the problem and said one word: "Cosine." That was the exact moment Bezos decided not to become a physicist. Here's the full story: Bezos wanted to be a theoretical physicist. That was the plan. He went to Princeton. He was a really good student. A+ on almost everything. He was in the honors physics track. Started with 100 students. By quantum mechanics, it was down to 30. Junior year. Quantum mechanics. He's also taking computer science and electrical engineering classes on the side. Then he hits a partial differential equation he can't solve. "It's really, really hard." He studies with his roommate Joe. Also really good at math. Three hours. Got nowhere. They look up at each other across the table at the same moment and say the same name: "Yosanta." Yosanta was the smartest guy at Princeton. He was Sri Lankan. His name was three lines long in the facebook (which was an actual paper book at that time). "I guess in Sri Lanka when you do something good for the King they give you an extra syllable on your name. So he had a super long last name. The most humble, wonderful guy." They go to Yosanta's room. Show him the problem. He stares at it for a while. Then he says: "Cosine." Bezos: "What do you mean?" "That's the answer." "That's the answer?" "Yeah. Let me show you." He brings them into his room. Sits them down. Writes out three pages of detailed algebra. Everything crosses out. The answer is cosine. Bezos asks: "Yosanta, did you just do that in your head?" "No. That would be impossible." "Three years ago I solved a very similar problem. I was able to map this problem onto that problem. And then it was immediately obvious that the answer was cosine." Bezos on that moment: "That was an important moment for me. Because that was the very moment when I realized I was never going to be a great theoretical physicist." He didn't quit because he was bad. He was in the top 30 at Princeton. He quit because he saw what great actually looked like. Great wasn't grinding for 3 hours. Great was pattern-matching to a problem you solved 3 years ago and seeing the answer instantly. He couldn't do that. Yosanta could. So he pivoted. Computer science. Business. Amazon. Built a $2.5+ trillion company instead. The rest is history.

Happy to be sharing my humble opinions with my 2 followers at 2am

@elonmusk I see that @elonmusk has 238 million followers and all he does is post videos of @SpaceX rockets, so I've also decided to post rocket videos because I need the followers for professional reasons. #Moon

@CodeByNZ But I thought coding was dead and AI was taking over 😂😂😂

The man is back 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 Meta is releasing something Massive what is man cooking ?

@Wthmoni Easy, is AI, apparently AI is the answer to everything 🤷‍♂️😂

Don’t cheat… just answer 😤

How easy it is for socialist leaders like @NYCMayor to pretend to be defenders of the poor just to have shoulders to stand on.

@NYCMayor Coming from #Cuba(socialist), I can't help but find similarities between this words and the ones I’ve heard since I was a kid,the same ones that led my country to ruin. How easy it is for socialist leaders to pretend to be defenders of the poor just to have shoulders to stand on

We carry a responsibility to prove that government is worthy of the people it serves. A week ago, we marked our first 100 days. We will work every day to honor the promises we made to New Yorkers — and to fulfill the mission of the movement that brought us here.

@NYCMayor I feel sorry for the people of New York. Socialism is always popular among the people because it promises free stuff, but free stuff is never truly free.

"A thousand songs in your pocket". This simple phrase by Steve Jobs @Apple is a masterclass in translating technical language into human emotion. Always remember: Your customers aren't buying a tool, they are buying a better version of themselves.

@mariolopezviva If we create a new Internet just for humans, would that count as discrimination?

@mistowho Of course not; in fact, I think they don't even use it among themselves, only when Americans are present

Do British people still do the accent when nobody's around

@Rhymestyle Enough to hurt the feet of hundreds of millions of people. #Texas is safer now

they recovered like 20 boxes

Not a lot to say... A miracle on clay. A masterclass in never giving up #Entrepreneurship #CEO #Founder

@thejustinwelsh Chase the big things, enjoy the little ones, and learn every day

Do the opposite of the average person, and you'll be successful: Stop following rage-baiters. Don't get mixed up in politics. Be kind to everyone. Be optimistic. Do insanely good work always. Eat well, sleep well, and train hard. Great lives are remarkably simple.

@agazdecki Because not every nice design working on top of an LLM is a startup

Claude Code to every startup in existence:

@mikehostetler Times are changing, tools are changing, that doesn't mean that developers are going to disappear, just that the way they work is going to change, is going to improve... cause everybody can see the 6 figures salary but not everybody knows the effort behind it

As a software engineer I’ve never felt more secure about my career

@livewithnoregrt Opinions! I would say @X is for opinions, specifically for strong opinions and generating debate. And a little bit to use @grok 😂

Instagram is for pictures, Tiktok is for videos, Twitter is for?
