If you willingly use `useEffect` for data fetching, that's fine, just please go into your GitHub settings and set this to disabled

i am no longer sure dario is conscious

you'll know if something is written in rust because people will tell you it is you'll know if something is written in typescript because you'll actually be using it

Best playlist if you want to learn what backend systems are and how they work beneath the surface. It actually presents a BACKEND FROM THE FIRST PRINCIPLE Thanks to @sriniously for this gem

I love that people are discovering that crypto bros are scammers and have just moved to AI Welcome to Costco, I love you

how he looks at you when you sleep for 5ms every 50 chars

Fetching in useEffect()

remember when they were like web 1 = read web 2 = read/write web 3 = blockchain paywalls AI agents offering site-site communication is a much stronger candidate for a real web 3

Adults- you have a moral responsibility to create holiday magic for the next generations. You are not too cool to dress up, or decorate or be silly. The wonder of childhood rests on your shoulders.

with books unread, muscles untrained, and thousands of skills untouched - if you're bored you aren't even trying

Education should expand a child’s world, not shrink it to the size of a classroom. The more freedom we give them to learn on their own time, the more excellence naturally follows.

Powerful frame of looking at life is that everyone is getting exactly what they want out of life, they’re just in denial about what they truly, deeply want

one of the hardest parts about devtools is even if someone finds your product interesting it might be months before they can try it on something so you have to stay relevant every week every company is oriented around infrequent big boom marketing events - doesn't work

reminder that you genuinely have to take this attitude to have any success If you actually desire you will take action. No action, no desire.

A young entrepreneur in his mid-20s just emailed me asking for some $$$ advice. He just sold a business and ended up with a couple million in liquid cash. He wanted to know if he should invest it, use it to build a new company, or do something else with it. My advice wasn't what he was expecting. I just said don't lose it. Do nothing with it. Put it in the bank. Something safe, earning a little, but not too much that it's at risk. Money doesn't need to work. It can rest. Leave it be. You're 26 — you can get back to work. A couple million liquid cash is a huge haul. Maintain! Don't lose. Always have that. And add more to that safe pile as you go. That's yours now. Keep it that way.

Petition that either xAI's Grok or Groq must change their name. Or either one of then comes out with a weird way to pronounce their name. "It's actually grouche" or something

@cjc To me it doesn't even sound like a critique. I often advise companies to go after only startups. If you get all the startups, and they don't discard you as they grow, eventually you'll have everyone.

This is by far the most GOATED playlist to learn backend dev. from first principles. If you actually want to build backend systems like an engineer (not a copy-paster), start here🐐 By @sriniously

There's a lot of advice about creating videos which can turn you into an algorithm-optimizing, soulless, growth-hacking machine. And some of these tips work! But they're the wrong thing to optimize for. For me, there are two things: 1. Would I watch this entire video? Do I find it interesting? 2. Do I feel this is some of my best work? Am I proud of it? When I look at the videos I'm most proud of, I feel like I did great work and was pushing the limits of my abilities for that moment in time. Hopefully, you look back and feel embarrassed by your first videos because of how far you've pushed yourself. Where I feel I made mistakes was trying to follow advice that worked for other people, instead of just doing what I felt was good. Yes, good thumbnails matter. The pacing of the video matters. Editing matters. And... none of that matters if you don't find the content interesting yourself. Pushing for "this is my best work" can be tough because you can trick yourself into thinking this means "high production value". I have made this mistake. It doesn't have to be that way. I'm proud of some videos I yeeted on X which took 10 minutes to make. Find what great looks like to you and then keep iterating until you close the gap.
