@raisedadead 🤖

Just me and my 9 `real` friends building my personal website.

@aymannadeem I wonder how much rehearsing goes into his speeches.

the mark of a great communicator is making people feel understood, not just persuaded. zohran does that effortlessly.

@ossia How do you subscribe to the weekly email newsletters ?

If you want to reach a ton of devs each week, the freeCodeCamp podcast is a proven way to do it. Tell your marketing department.

If you make your app 10% easier to use you'll get twice as many users.

@AlexHormozi Sorry for your loss.

My mother died in an unexpected accident at her home on Friday night in Baltimore. I want to take a brief moment to honor her life. She was admitted into the first ever female class at John’s Hopkins (a huge accomplishment, because before that, it was men only). She ran a private eye surgery practice for years. She went to Africa multiple times to operate on entire villages to literally heal the blind. She helped anyone who didn’t have money - despite never having much of her own. She gave her life to Christ when she was 42, and never looked back. She lived in God’s grace. For the few who knew her, you know she was incredibly intelligent, kind, and unyielding in her faith and values. She also loved me fiercely despite her difficulty showing it. But she was always proud. Always available. Always genuine. And truly did not care what anyone thought besides Jesus. Also… She was a great stay at home movie date. We’d get double features on the weekends. And I’d get to pick one candy. She was a great cook and liberal with her use of butter. I only found out as an adult that the proper way to make Mac n cheese was not simply “melt a stick of butter then add noodles & powder.” This method also applied to eggs, steak, most other things worth eating. She could hold her liquor like a champ and was always down for a good time. On her good days - she was honestly wonderful to be around. That being said, she was also a terrible driver. She was disorganized, clumsy, could not remember where she put her keys, wallet, phone, shoes or whatever she was looking for - ever. And she’d argue about anything. And that was Florence. No matter what you thought of her, she was consistent. And she bent for no one. Florence was a ball of goodness that struggled to deal with the world around her. She suffered her own demons. And near the end was in great mental and physical pain. Now that she has passed, her pain has ended. And she can finally reunite with her Creator. I hope her worldview is right and she is welcomed home in His arms with a message we’d all want: “well done my good and faithful servant.” Maman, I will miss you.

@beaucarnes Glad you enjoyed it! Although I have to admit, chicken breast in a dessert was a real curve ball. Next time you’re in town, we’re going for Kelle Paça :D

I got to learn about some amazing food from @ahmaxed in Istanbul. Turkish food is so delicious.

@EmmaBostian Many congrats, Emma. Welcome to the world, little one.

Hi! It’s been a year since I’ve been on Twitter! I’ve been focused on health and family. In May we welcomed our second baby, a son we named Stellan 🥹🥰 we’re in love! But I’m happy to be back 😁

It's official. It's genocide.

@johnrushx Get someone to nag you about the followings: 1) water 2) sleep 3) exercise 4) nutrition wait, that is an app idea 🤔

I didn’t expect it to happen so soon 😔 While going crazy & building all these startups, I ruined my health (overweight, neck pain...) I’m 37yo lazy tech founder. Whats the best way to feel like a 20yo again? Also whats the best app to track bio markers?

Instead of accepting refugees from Gaza, the United States should quit giving munitions to Israel to create refugees.

John Oliver: “Gaza is being starved by Israel." A simple and horrifying fact that should be reported that way.

@BekahHW Happy Birthday. What an awe-inspiring journey. 🚀

I’m moving into a new decade today. I’ve officially hit my 40s. The last decade has been both the best and worst of my life. It’s had the greatest highs, followed by the greatest lows, and the lowest lows, followed by the highest highs. I’ve had my last kid (bringing the total to 4, moved from teaching college English to working in tech, navigated a pandemic and built an amazing online community (@virtualcofeeio) in the last five years. I’ve done things I never thought I physically accomplish. I’ve deadlifted more than 250 lbs, squatted almost 2x my body weight. I’ve lifted over half my bodyweight over my head, and swung kettlebells with the best of them.

I’ve had doctors tell me I’m not their problem, women tell me that no one would believe in me if I developed a free community, a man tell me I didn’t know how to squat bc I could do more than him. I’ve navigated layoffs, career uncertainty, and become a spokesperson opposing a local landfill. I’ve seen my kids go through more pain and heartbreak than I ever thought I would, and felt the heartbreak even more deeply as a parent. 

I’ve given my first tech talk, took the stage for a pub conf, MC-ed conferences, organized my first virtual conference, written screenplays and tv pilots, published my first novel with my brothers, started a micro fiction newsletter, saw my kids hit more milestones than I could’ve imagined, made friends as an adult (which is a lot harder than I thought it would be), moved to a fantastic neighborhood for our family, and persevered in spite of obstacles put in front of me that I didn’t believe I could make it past. The thing that’s constant is that I didn’t do it alone. 

I had to learn to ask for help, to be ok with crying in front of people, with being open and honest, with understanding myself and recognizing when I need to reach out to friends or teammates or those around me. I’ve learned it’s about the people around you, growing your community, and finding your people, the ones you text when you’re going through a hard time, the ones you share your good news, who celebrate with you. Here’s to the next decade, and the amazing friends who stick with me along the way.

@ismailtlem Definitely. 💪
