@grepping4u @BoringBiz_ When that is a calculated choice, it is a very powerful one. Well done, keep at it

@theProtagony @BoringBiz_ I max it all, 2 mega backdoors, ira, hsa, 529, but living paycheck to paycheck

Couple earning $500K/yr as a tech engineer and doctor are complaining about living paycheck to paycheck The irony is that their definition of paycheck to paycheck is after maxing out 401K, HSA and IRA accounts

@guroot @BoringBiz_ Learnt something new today. Many have said this.

@theProtagony @BoringBiz_ Nah, HSA is a mandatory max if you have access to one. The cap is low, and it's the single most tax advantaged account one can have.

@notrobbyboose @Jeanc6584 @BoringBiz_ There's some truth to this!

@theProtagony @Jeanc6584 @BoringBiz_ the answer is they will always feel poor no matter what their cash flow is because they are delusional and only comparing themselves to people who make more than them or other people spending above their means

@SHarrell233 @BoringBiz_ That’s true for sure. But there is always a little wiggle room in a 500k household.

@theProtagony @BoringBiz_ they will be happy they did it in 30 years and feel better off then most people around them.

@Jeanc6584 @BoringBiz_ Do you believe they have no room to optimize anything and should continue to feel like they are living paycheck to paycheck with the top 1% of earnings in the richest country on earth? My response is just as obtuse as yours.

@theProtagony @BoringBiz_ Maxing an HSA with 2 small children is not overkill. It is $8,750/year. Chances are they are in a high deductible plan and kids get sick frequently, need vaccines, wellness visits, annual physicals for mom and dad.

@be_like_ice It is a fun thought but let’s be honest there are so many incredible outlets for creative people.

Shout out to all the neurodivergent people forced into entrepreneurship because it's all you can do.

@RobinhoodApp Business (LLC) accounts.

You’re a Robinhood PM for 24 hours. What are you shipping first?

@MaxBrodeurUrbas @satyanadella This is by design. Job security for infrastructure people.

.@satyanadella I am begging you. take 10 minutes and try to use azure microsoft is literally doing a disservice to mankind by putting this software into the world set up an Oauth app, try to build something in the ms ecosystem you need to see it to believe how bad it is

@agentofshield If both TARS and Coop had their humor setting at 100..

Petition: Release the full BGM of Dhurandhar 1 and 2. Too many amazing musical moments are lost in the song focused albums. Crime if they don't include Gehra Hua with the jazz insert.

Three notifications for one "scam likely" call back to back across devices. Privacy?

I've been putting together my UX writing principles into a Claude skill called Righter. It reviews UI copy against a set of rules plain language, active voice, no weakener words, reading level targets and rewrites it with a before/after and an ARI readability score. It also helps you pick the right component for error messages (toast vs alert dialog vs inline alert, etc.). Just published it to GitHub: github.com/ommakes/Skills If you find it useful, a star goes a long way toward helping others discover it. ⭐

It is 2026. People are vibe coding entire software companies in a weekend. Can the freaking dumb appliance companies just build me a microwave that doesn't beep? How hard is that *one* feature?

Calling it now. For Bollywood: A.R. Rahman = Hans Zimmer Shashwat Sachdev = Ludwig Göransson What a time to be alive!

1gbps internet. No glitches anywhere else. Only happens on @willowtv

More garbage from @willowtv . Apple TV app shows ad and promptly gets stuck with no button to exit. Then we have to restart the stream so ad again. No other company can get away with such a substandard paid product. Fake monopoly needs to be removed or sold to ESPN

@mntruell Help rethink source control in the vibe coding era. Non-engineer friends are routinely coding, but get stuck in eng ceremonies. Especially git.

Cursor seeks to be the best and most powerful way to code with AI. What are the ways in which we could be better?

@theo Switch to Microsoft Teams. The only problem is that the worst ones will stay.

Imagine you run a tech company. You want your engineers to quit because they cost too much money and you can just vibe code now instead. You can't fire them or you might have to pay severance. What "well intended" policy do you introduce to make them all quit?

When she wants to buy something fun? I say - yeah let’s do it! Dream factory.

Having endured the accusation, the argument, and the 5 stages of grief; I decide might as well buy it because now what’s the worst that can happen?

I say I’m thinking of buying something. She immediately accuses me of wasting money. She recounts every item that I may have gotten that didn’t quite pan out. I give her the highlight reel.
