I used to be oblivious to the signs telling me I'm burning out. It's been a journey to not only notice the signs, but also listen to them, but also to cultivate good habits to recover.

@PatsKam Sounds like my ex

Signs to look for that your male partner may k*ll you: 1. He’s gotten physical with you 2. He has isolated you from friends & family or is weirdly jealous of them 3. When arguing, he tries to keep you in the room or prevents you from leaving 4. Drives recklessly to scare you

@rachallison1 I’m my experience (reading between the lines) women end up losing interest because I’m showing interest and paying attention. Ironically that makes me thing I should be more nonchalant. It might be worth a conversation rather than just giving up

may a nonchalant man never find me again

@adrianatortja Doing code reviews really is one of the best ways to grow. The trick is to get the balance right so the review inform your own code.

The fastest way to level up as a dev? 👉 Read code you didn’t write 👉 Debug code you don’t understand 👉 Refactor code you thought was “done” Growth happens in discomfort. Don’t just write code, wrestle with it.

@PatsKam I’ve never had that experience…. Only the reverse

Gotta love buying things with someone else’s credit card 🤪

Another night in the boat. Just completed 3 hours of sailing with 5 young kids on board. It’s so enjoyable seeing them have the time of their lives.

@joncphillips Happy birthday! Next year you’ll be running a $$$ business from your boat

It's my birthday today (16,071 days) and I celebrated by running npm audit on three projects this morning. Living large down here.

@Toneskeee What do you think that means?

@JonBuildsHQ Dating

I stopped ___ and my life got 10x better 👇

@Toneskeee Sounds like a superpower

Unfortunately if you spend too much time with me l'll brainwash you in thinking you can do whatever the heck you want with your life

@eliana_jordan Living the dream!

If you're starting over, this is for you I'm 35. I've restarted my life more times than most people dare to try once New countries. New careers. New versions of myself. Each time scarier than the last. Each time worth it. At 22 I moved to London alone not speaking the language. At 29 I was a diving instructor living my dream. At 30 a pandemic took everything overnight. At 31 I learned to code from scratch to build the company I couldn't stop thinking about. Be Underwater. Airbnb for scuba diving. I coded every night after 10-hour dive days in Palau while nobody knew we existed. 200+ dive centers later, I quit my job. All in. Every single time it looked like things were falling apart, they were actually falling into place. The only thing standing between you and the life you want isn't timing, age, or circumstances. It's believing you're capable of building it. I'm Eliana. I just went all in on be underwater app full time and I'm building it in public, the wins, the slow months, all of it. If you're scared, if it feels too late, you have at least one person in your corner. That's me.

@joncphillips Good choice. I went skydiving a few times at age 17. I’m assuming my parents aren’t too disappointed that I’m still here

My stepdaughter just called and said she wants to go skydiving. This scares the living fuck out of me. So obviously I said yes.

Back from 10 days vacationing with my kids, and seeing my sisters and mom in 1 place for the first time in 10 years.

@eliana_jordan So encouraging. The ‘showing your face’ part held me back for years

in 2020 i was a travel influencer. 25k followers on instagram. i wouldn’t post a single photo unless it was perfect. hours editing. constantly comparing myself to everyone else. eventually i got completely burned out and quit social media. then i started building apps. i thought i didn’t need social media anymore. biggest mistake. i needed it more than ever. so i revived my dead instagram account for my scuba app. started posting on x. and i was terrified of showing my face. for months i avoided it because i thought every photo had to be perfect. turns out… nobody cared. the tech community has been one of the most supportive communities i’ve ever been part of. my only regret is not starting to share my journey sooner. your face doesn’t have to be perfect. your story just has to be real.

English breakfast including a delicious black pudding. Surprisingly, the kids loved it.

@RealProductGirl As hard as it is, this is the time to slow down and be in the moment. The rewards are priceless

Speechless today. Didn’t realize how heavy my heart was when I woke up. Apologies about not being there for the community lately. Just trying to process certain things. But you ALL always have my heart 💯

@wolfmayor_ Maybe your drumming skills just need better marketing 🤷‍♂️

@gevious Bro… waiting for “friendly marketing guy, average drumming ability” to become a skills scarcity so I can move over 🤣

Happy 250th Big Dawg! 🇺🇸 🎉 When you were about 230 years old, I didn’t have a lot of skin in the game, in the world around me, and thought I had you all understood. But a couple of kids later and dreams for their future, I want what you got. Your promise is not that you’re at the final version of yourself, but that you don’t believe in a final version. Rather, the promise is that whatever you did yesterday, you’ll try find a way to do it better today, and then repeats steps one through two tomorrow. Happy Independence Day! Ps. Thanks for cars, a refined idea of personal liberties, Jackass, Seinfeld and Friends, your WW2 work, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, @blink182, Nike sneakers, Burger King, Xbox, Magic The Gathering, @meatcanyon, 90s Pamela Anderson, how to do fireworks properly, Shane Gillis, Dave Chappelle, Fender and @EHX guitar pedals, allowing me to romanticise the idea of diners that are open at 3am, old MTV, all the innovation I actually care about, @undertaker and @RealKevinNash Diesel, the Dookie album, Saturday Night Live, Steve Jobs, Elf movie, being the type of place that can give you Asmon and Hasan and let you make up your own mind, the ‘94 World Cup which was the first one I watched, this World Cup (shout out your neighbours too), and from the other side of the world still learning from you and believing that anything is possible with the right decisions and effort. ‘Merica ❤️

@rachallison1 That’s a lot of writing

not to brag, but I’ve already finished two books this month 😌

@rachallison1 I'd be in trouble if I wanted a woman taller than me

Also just wanna note: I haven’t seen one single application for my Christian Matchmaking Project that listed these, not even as preferences. The only time height has been mentioned was women saying they prefer a man taller than them, or men saying they prefer a woman shorter than them. Stop letting social media rage bait shape your mindset so much 👀

@MonicaMAlmaguer The book of proverbs is a gem.

The Bible told us women's nature well before social media.
