“He was still cracking jokes over there while he was on the ground,” Steph Curry said. “In true Jimmy fashion, he’s always gonna have a good time no matter what the situation is.”

It doesn’t matter what position you find yourself in right now. What matters is whether you improve your position today. Every day is an opportunity to make the future easier or harder.

*Nice speech by Singapore PM* This is the kind of reassurance I was talking about from our leaders

It seems like most of us sometimes get trapped in a mental framework that becomes our identity and prevents us from radically evolving our thinking with new facts and information. Trying to be aware of that.

“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry. Many times over the years I have thought about a great programmer I knew that loved assembly language to the point of not wanting to move to C. I have to fight some similar feelings of my own around using existing massive codebases and inefficient languages, but I push through. I had somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I might be missing out on the “final abstraction”, where you realize that managing people is more powerful than any personal tool. I just don’t like it, and I can live with the limitations that puts on me. I suspect that I will enjoy managing AIs more, even if they wind up being better programmers than I am.

@elonmusk Show all the tweets from people I follow in chrono order. Unread count. Let me continue scrolling up from where I left off.

What are your top requests for Twitter features & bug fixes?

@kristjanlepik Aren’t markets forward-looking and one step ahead, so #3 and #4 largely priced-in?

An update: - We got #1 very clearly. Also #5 has started - Markets currently turning a blind eye to #3 and #4 (good luck with that) - S&P 500 over 4000 ... Wow. In six months this will look incredibly stupid, but markets surely can be like that (in short term).

Andy Murray’s career explained in a single point. Oh my goodness!

Andy Murray's mental strength is amazing. Fighting back from two sets down in the middle of the night 4am with metal hip. Inspirational. #murygoat

@kristjanlepik Dec 30th?

Guess on which day the vacation started

One thing you don't realize about parenting till you have kids is that unless you have lots of kids you're always going to be a noob. The parents of a 13 year old have 13 years' experience as parents, but they may have zero years' experience as parents of a 13 year old.

Something I explained to my 12 yo: Behind everyone who's really good at something are many hours they spent, usually alone, just practicing.

@knarusk iterative sprint planning :)

anger is a lack of understanding. change makes people uncomfortable.

If you are spending too much time on Zoom calls, you are doing it wrong. Proper efficient remote work is mostly asynchronous.

Strange how some still expect knowledge work to happen in a specific location (office or home). Location is irrelevant as long as you have internet. Also, the laws should be updated considering that remote work has become mainstream.

Watching AO tennis players exercising in hotel room quarantine - so many ideas for bodyweight workouts!

Be skeptical of the side of a debate that is less willing to try to see the other side’s point of view (especially if they make a lot of character attacks). Absolutism is usually (not always!) bad.
