🎩 😊 🤌

it's happening

super cool

@joshpuckett @kristinatastic €85

@kristinatastic Can’t decide if I’m more impressed with “1960” or “€6.10” 🤯

crazy that IKEA once went this hard 1960s "Petita" IKEA coffee / sewing table in teak and oak. originally sold for €6.10

@kristinatastic Euro didn't exist back then. But if you inflation adjust the original Swedish price from 65 sek to today you get 900 sek which is about 85 euro today

@bryan_johnson makes sense

can you get a perfect score?

Ok folks. Which is the Greatest Trilogy of all time!

@Beno10_MFC We can definitely make it 91,112

Idea: An anonymous “vote to end meeting” button on Teams where if 50% of people press it, the meeting ends immediately.

Reasons to continue working past reaching financial goals for retirement: 1. Your career is on coast mode - that is you did all the hard work and now are reaping the rewards, because of seniority, indispensability, practice and familiarity 2. You are working on super important World changing stuff and so need to continue until it is done 3. Maintain status in the eyes of pe4ers, friends, family, and yourself 4. Accumulate more wealth (than you need ) to pass on to your children 5. Just cant quit because of habit and lack of other purpose in life If none of the above apply, please retire and let the younger generation fill your position.

The enemy of truth is motivated reasoning.

Here & Now

legend

I've been coding for 40 years. Here are the top 5 things I wish I knew when I started. 1. 90% of the job is debugging and fixing, not creating new code. Which is still fun if you're good at it. I used to think programming was mostly writing fresh, clever stuff. In reality, most of your time is spent in other people's (or your own past self's) messy code, chasing down why something that "should" work doesn't. Get really good at debugging early. Learn assembly reading, call stacks, and kernel debuggers. It pays off hugely. The best engineers I saw were absolute magicians at this. 2. Manage complexity from day one (ie: don't write slop and "fix it later" if it goes somewhere). Very early on, I'd hammer out code and refactor afterward. Big mistake. Now I start with clean, skeletal structure (minimalism first) and flesh it out carefully, with AI or not. Messy code compounds and becomes unfixable. Upfront discipline on architecture, naming, and simplicity saves enormous pain later, especially in large systems like Windows. 3. Tools and processes matter more than you think We suffered with basic diff/manual deltas instead of modern source control like Git. Branching, testing, and good tooling would have made porting and collaboration way smoother. Invest in your environment, automation, and reproducible builds early. Good tools amplify your output; bad ones (or none) drag everything down. 4. Understand the problem and existing code deeply before writing Don't jump straight to coding. Map out the problem, study what's already there (you'll inherit a lot), and plan. Low-level knowledge (hardware quirks, alignment issues on different architectures like MIPS/Alpha) was crucial. Also: assert early and often. It forces clarity. 5. People, politics, and "the right tool for the job" beat pure tech arguments. Brilliant engineers still argue endlessly. Sometimes it's about ego, not merit. Learn to spot the difference and "steer" the conversation rather than "winning" it. Bonus from experience: Side projects like Task Manager (started at home because I wanted the tool) can become your biggest hits. Ship small, useful things often. If you're just starting, focus on fundamentals, patterns over syntax, and building resilience for the long haul. It's going to be a wild ride, but the fundamentals still matter.
