Fake arguing with your coach to distract the defense before throwing a half-look pass for a reverse alley-oop to break a 92-92 tie in the final minute of OT in a Sweet 16 game at MSG might be the coolest shit I’ve ever seen

It's good to have crappy days. Olympian Alexi Pappas on the best advice she's ever gotten: The Rule of Thirds...

@Acyn Gotta love Pete for consistently sitting in the lion’s den and not only coming out unscathed, but making them look like kittens.

Wow

@thedankoe Often times if I want to learn more about a space, the first thing I do is join the related Subreddits. It’s moderately passive, but in my experience helpful.

It’s crazy that you can become top 10% in any skill within 3-6 months by obsessively studying online. Enough so that you are perceived as an authority, and can make a living from it (without investing more than a few hundred dollars, if any).

Elite 64 players and referees predicted the upcoming World Cup. Let's just say there was a clear favorite...and they won't be wearing red, white, and blue. #EveryMomentCounts

One green one is off. My code is broken 😯

Nobody: Me: I wonder what a poster of every @InvsbleFriends would look like, grouped by bg color

These guys never cease to amaze with their projection.

Can't wait to see what @satanic_temple_ does with this one. nytimes.com/2022/06/21/us/…

@lostincode It’s so hard, but their love is so worth it. Good thoughts your way man.

Lost my dog this morning y’all. 💔 Down bad.

May have 2 buy Twitter now.

How is it that after more than 4 decades on earth, I am just learning about free pie Wednesdays at @SharisPies ?

@lostincode Can the before/after fix in 280 char?

That feeling when you optimize a mysql query time by ~50% 🚀

@mmitchell_ai Reading code is 100% easier than writing it. I’ve read code many times in languages that I’ve never written. Not your point but good (maybe great) PMs should at least read code. Scrum masters too! I believe the devs I worked with sincerely appreciated being met half way.

I don't think tech companies are testing coding in the right way...The main skill that I've seen to be important is the ability to jump into *someone else's* code and, e.g., fix a bug, implement a new function. The ability to fluently read code that's not yours is critical.

@BlaineCapital Avoid the curmudgeon tax :). You don’t have to bet the farm, but it sure will be fun to be right 20 years from now.

@mxstrand Few people recommended some crypto... making me think about it!

I opened a custodial account for my daughter 👶🍼 She’s 2 weeks old & the most precious thing on the planet (I might be biased 😉) She gets the account when she turns 21. No selling, this is about teaching her the power of compounding 20-25 holdings. What would you set & forget?

@BlaineCapital Just for fun too, hope you throw a few bucks at crypto to hand down to the next generation. Personally, I have an $algo wallet for my son.

@BlaineCapital I bought $IYW for my son 11 years ago. He’s up mucho. That said, I started focusing on his 529 shortly thereafter. Strangely, the custodial can almost be too much money to hand to someone in their 20s. Good problem to have I guess, but think 529 also.

@patagonia Definitely doing some shopping at Patagonia this week.

Stack Overflow just started limiting copying code from the site to 2x per user. The only way to get around it is to buy a physical copy switch from SO. Get ready for the entire web to crash.
