It’s taken me some time to accept this. It looks horrible, but I can read it without shuffling the reading glasses. Only my Cafe POS, I can’t do it on my phone yet. That will be the next level of acceptance.
@Square can you please not make the text in the UI any smaller!

@thekevingeary They need to check their links. I love the person who is trying to defend it by saying its because it was made by volunteers. I know a 12 year old that would build something better for a bag of gummy bears. Really scratching the bottom of the barrel.

@rmelogli Whoever it is their team probably has 100 years combined experience.

Streaming an Android phone to my Mac in a data center via Tailscale + github.com/genymobile/scr… and my claw controls it via peekaboo.sh.
Now my claw can order me an Uber.

@CasJam Check out Chezmoi. Great for setting up new and also just keeping things in sync if you work from multiple computers. It syncs my dotfiles, custom scripts, brewfile, etc. You can get pretty creative with it.

@crystle_jay @RicFlairNatrBoy Do you really have to ask? Woooooooo!

@adkbytes @RicFlairNatrBoy Wait, are you team Mandelbaum or team Nature Boy in this crossover? Who wins the steel cage match — the Mandelbaums or Flair? WOOOOO!"

@KatieKeithBarn2 I’ll choose the kids toilet. I spent a month in an AirBNB with a square toilet seat. Dumbest form over function garbage I’ve ever seen.
English

Maybe I’ve had too many drinks at #CheckoutSummit happy hour but it’s super-cute that the toilets at the venue have parent and child-sized toilets ❤️

@gridpane @ivanburazin Am I the only that actually likes the GP dashboard? I mean it’s not winning any beauty contests but it gets shit done. I’ll take an ugly functional dash over a pretty and useless one every day.
English

@ivanburazin As someone with a horrific dashboard still to this day, years later, with millions in ARR... can confirm.
But we're fixing it RFN and it's gonna be glorious.

Shortly after launching, I once looked at our dashboard and low key wanted to throw up.
- Inconsistencies everywhere
- Four decimal places for $ in some spots, two in others
- Text overflowing outside the button on mobile
- Non uniform spacing and different styles
All design 101 failures and embarrassing as hell. But none of them stopped us from getting customers and hitting the PMF.
I wish it mattered more since I personally have a very high bar for it. But if the market pull is there, it doesn't stop the growth.
Design becomes the tiebreaker only and only if you have competitors with products roughly equal in capability.
But if you're starting out, it would neither save a bad product nor kill a great one.

@MrDaveFoy The only thing that I have found to help is to change it up. I have a Logitech MX ergo mouse, MX ergo trackball and an Apple Magic Trackpad. I switch between the three all the time. Sometimes task dependent or just to change position.
Going lefty would be a tough one!

My forearm/shoulder RSI is screaming at me to stop using my right hand for video editing. Time to learn to use my left hand.
Anyone tried this ambidextrous vertical mouse (or similar)?

@DerekAshauer @clifgriffin This is like me with conversion bridge…Just way too busy maybe Q2, not sure what year. 🤔

@srikat It’s $12 a year are you really going to change your workflow for that. But maybe the 158th time is a charm.

I agree with this 100%. The mainstream money advice is still valid for many people. There are plenty who make very good money and seemingly live well but are up to their eyeballs in debt and have no clue how to manage their finances. Their whole life is a house of cards.
Mainstream money advice is targeted to the mainstream for a reason. The people that read this, understand it and have the ability to act on it are not mainstream.
English

Most mainstream money advice centers around saving, investing, and "living below your means."
I used to follow that advice heavily and it never got me anywhere. It just made life suck more.
Here's the best advice I think anyone can give on this topic (and the people who have done it, all know it's true):
The #1 thing you should focus on is *dramatically* increasing your income.
Now, most people hear this and think, "Yeah, whatever, can't do much more of that..." or "I don't really have much control of that..."
Thus you might immediately ask, "Okay, but what's step #2?"
And this brings us to the most critical insight that should most influence your immediate behavior:
Step #2 is so fucking far removed from Step #1 that you shouldn't care at all about it until you've accomplished the first step.
Literally, concern yourself with nothing else until step #1 is accomplished, which starts with retracting all those bullshit excuses you were just making for yourself a second ago.
That's the best personal finance advice you can hear and act on for the foreseeable future.
