Been working on this for the last six months. Glad to finally share the latest badge work by my company, Fourfold, for the @thotcon hacker conference! Details and more will be posted throughout the weekend!

The thing about OSS right now is that you can modify it. So if you're using applications for project mgmt, code check-in, etc, you can change them to meet the needs for you and your company. And the velocity at which you can do that right now is so so high.

Know what you want and why you're doing what you're doing. I would rather be: with my family, with my friends, cycling, swimming, or creating things... than almost everything else. The litmus test for everything else is, does it get me closer to these things?

TL;DR get a liberal arts degree and make technology on the side. That is how this moment is playing out. And then just have an obsessive bias toward action.

Add to this list: the art of thinking, planning, acting (the liberal arts).

Basically, if you understand how computers foundationally work you're in the clear. And if you don't know what a CLI is or weren't trained from an early age to pre-progam in pseudocode (v important to computational literacy) you're on the losing side.

@LawrenceMuir1 We were parked in traffic yesterday for 5 hrs on I65 on the way back home. Ended up getting off to take detours, all of which were blocked by squad cars because residents didnt want thru traffic in their towns. Took us ~10 hours to get out of IN!

@jaymargalus Interstate 70 is 155 miles of corn fields through Indiana. It’s an experience you should only have once.

“sir they’ve paid $100 for the Apple Developer account” “good. wait 2 days to confirm their account then reject the app 10 times over the next 20 days. if they make it through take a 30% cut of the revenue and pay them out 2 months later. ban them if they try using Stripe”

Note to self: Do not let *anything* slowly kill you. If the pain is persistent, cut the cause in any way that you can.

Every abandoned game is a design failure waiting to become a design lesson. How many students would learn more from fixing a broken game than building a perfect one from scratch?

When viewed in the right light, everything is an exercise in growing in capacity.

Ruby on Rails is probably the most token-efficient way to write a real web app together with agents that doesn't immediately fall apart with security holes and unscalable decisions. rubyonrails.org

Am judging @hackwithtrees Stanford sama’s takes on: - the literal first day of OpenAI - “if you’re a sophomore, you’ll graduate to a world with AGI” - why @MattPRD’s Moltbook matters - what you should work on inspiring in how down to earth it sounds but still extremely impactful when done well.
