@noahmp And all people who are exactly as competitive as me totally get it!

All people who are less competitive than me lack motivation.
All people who are more competitive than me are clearly deranged.

@l_if Haha! You know there are steps and handles in some corners of the pool too, right? :)

@DanielleGuigli That's a great run! Still remember visiting you and the Bluefin crew in Boston after you joined! A decade of fond memories cannot be erased with these crazy last few days. Wishing you an even brighter chapter ahead! 💙

@chanian There's probably a (short?) retention period on those slack messages, right?
English
I imagine Musk searching his own name in the internal Twitter Slack (which he presumably now has access to)... how far back he'd have to scroll/paginate to find something favorable.
Also RIP to everyone that was (internally) communicating fearlessly to build trust. Also Slack..

@kvlly @dxnielvaughn That's such a wonderful meet-cute! Would like to see the rom-com portrayal of this 😊
English
You’ve probably seen me mention that @dxnielvaughn and I met on Reddit.
9 years ago today, to be specific! ❤️

@noahmp @TheWill @johnheywood @chanian All the usual suspects on this thread!
I'm pretty sure the last time I saw Noah IRL was at a sushi place.
And Ian: I'm only surprised it's taken you this long 😀
Maybe all of you sushi lovers can create a global food travel blog! 🍣

Love this. Wholeheartedly agree with the reading prescription.

@shreyas Are you referring to decison-making framworks?
A good framework is just codified judgement, no? It's an implementation optimization since deliberate decision making is expensive.
But I agree with your premise, that frameworks need to be refined and updated periodically.

@tardi_taskforce so sorry to hear this :( ... hoping they get better!

@posco the appeal of NFTs does feel confusing to me as well, but I think they make a lot of sense for representing assets in online multiplayer games. Other uses will probably arise.
English
I'm a crypto moderate (skeptical on PoW, interested in DeFi/DAOs, baffled by NFTs), but the thing that holds me back most is: we are so bad at software. I don't trust myself or anyone to let huge assets ride on not misusing software or writing it correctly in the first place.

@posco Nice! I also take my vim keybindings into every IDE I have to use. Makes even IntelliJ workable.
English
after about 30 years of using vim as my text editor of choice, I seem have switched to vscode with vim bindings... and it seems to be working out.
English
@iamsridhar @LinkedIn Nice analogy! And yes I agree. It does seem as if all the social media platforms are converging in style.
English
Words to live by! Would also recommend Josef Pieper's "Leisure: The Basis of Culture" as great reading on this important topic. g.co/kgs/Tm67Dm

Rest isn’t just something nice that we do on the weekends but a powerful act of liberation from the forces of labor and profit that seek to de-humanize us. Rest is a way of saying our jobs don’t own us, that we have inherent freedom and dignity as human beings.

@jeanqasaur Totally! I've heard this described as being a multiplier vs adder. Both are good, but a positive multiplier can have more impact than solo addition. Boosting the team's energy and morale is a great way to multiply.
English
One of the bigger learnings I've had about team-building: someone's ability to think about their effect on the energy of the team is as important, if not more, than their ability to make progress on their own.

@krishnansriram Sorry to hear that, but yeah definitely drink water! I always do when I'm pondering a problem ;)
Good luck with the pipe and the elementary school. Navigating return to school with covid seems tough.🤞for an improvement in February.
English
Considered Dry January for a hot minute before better sense prevailed.

COVID case in Elementary school. And a flooding due to a burst pipe. All in a day’s work.
How’s your 2022 going?
English
An inspirational and heart-warming story. Love and admire the perseverance. ❤

How does one go from being a cocktail waitress in Miami to owning a million-dollar business? To make big moves in life, you sometimes have to take really unconventional paths… Here’s mine 🧵

@hi_rankin Thank you for sharing your wonderful story. So inspiring to see how you've repeatedly found ways to overcome adversity! I can totally relate to how you wanted to help your family and the purpose it instills in you. Rooting for you and your family ❤
English
As for my family? I still take care of my mom and sister. They are my purpose and the reason why I keep going. ❤️

Among the many failings of the Jedi in the waning hours of the Republic, perhaps the most fateful was their invention of the dreaded "hybrid meeting format"

Also I had so many philosophical thoughts after listening to the episode with @nasdaily!
Re: the discussion about reconciling your drive for singularity with the duality of your own life -- could your life be like a single coin with two sides? Not either/or, but both and ONE.

Some fun things I learned. That @ellenjdasilva also likes hot chocolate. As a fellow hot chocolate lover and non-coffee drinker, it was so refreshing to hear someone NOT answer "Coffee. Black" to the "Coffee or Tea" question. 😂
English
Who's to say, but I think you all may like listening to @NonTechnicalPod by @yayalexisgay.
Really funny, insightful conversations about the lives of tech folks outside of work. Truly a great act of public service in humanizing techies and making us appear relatable :)
