Michael Monteleone

For transparency, what I am doing in life is primarily to honor my grandmother, to always trust myself, to never be afraid to fail ever again, to ignore family, friends, and anyone else who rejects my vision, to work hard and always produce action in some capacity, and to incorporate all of this into my identity. In the end, my goal in life is to give back and help others, as it has always been since I was in kindergarten.

@DStrachman I find east coast folks = better overall, less superficial, and more honest (jarring for some). Weather sucks though. California is amazing, and unfortunately, expensive. From what I gather, culture has a lot of superficial folks. Do you experience any of this yourself?

After being on the east coast for two weeks, California feels divine!

Has anyone invested in any spintronics related startups in the last 6 or so years?

@chrisalbon nobody talking about prusa at all?

Is there a home 3D printer that everyone buys? Like, if you aren’t a professional 3D printer and not like 10 years old, is there a printer that everyone gets?

@brianatheroux Idk, that rule could lead to a horribly clingy and dependant kind of guy. That's also risky lol

Men shouldn’t be settling. Period. But I’m big on personal responsibility, which is why I’ve always had a strict rule: I don’t fuck with men who aren’t clearly obsessed with me. Too risky.

@DStrachman People want to do things. Doing the hard work, and improving your discipline (isn't discipline technically an emotion?) is beyond difficult. Dunning kruger hits hard and the rest who are left will probably signal and gain dopamine from said signal. And few will do the actual work

I really don't get people who want to do a thing but don't want to do the requirements of doing the thing.

The way employers and employees talk about work gives off this impression that employer-employee relationships have become blatantly adversarial. Shows up in how everyone talks, and even in evaluating performance. Both sides act like the other side is taking advantage.

@trunarla Congrats! glad you took the leap and are gaining traction. Cheers.

Omg I’m almost a real YouTuber 🫣

I fully support this idea; however, the methods they utilize to detect the AI content could give rise to creators who get falsely flagged for AI content, and that is something that I am not a fan of. Otherwise, this isn't a bad thing.

@tawnniee What if you are a normie and you don't even know it? :P

if only i was a normie

@DThompsonDev If he is able to complete all the work and is a 10x engineer while also working at jobs that are not direct competitors, then I PERSONALLY don't see a problem and I understand why people are upset. If they are competitors, then no. I do not know the full context of mr. Parekh.

Soham Parekh made INTERNATIONAL NEWS. This is mind-blowing to me. He worked at several companies at the same time. Do YOU believe he did something wrong?

@RoxanaCodes Thank you for the kind words! can't wait to see what has been happening in your world and everyone else's world. Keep inspiring as much as you can. Love the work and effort you put forth with everything, family included. Cheers <3

@trivenge I’m glad you’re back! That sounds like some great progress physically and mentally. ❤️❤️❤️

In the earliest hours, when so much of the world is quiet, and you can’t get too upset or bothered, you can admit to yourself that you are making progress - albeit slowly. And you can be proud for just a few minutes before the world and your mind begin to race again. #fitdevs

@RoxanaCodes Finally under 200 pounds, last i checked it was 197.6 about a week ago. down from 345 about 12 months ago now. truthfully, i took a long break from X and from the internet. Decided to clear my head and get some things sorted in real life. Will be making a small comeback of course

@trivenge Hey Michael! Been alright! How about you??

@BHolmesDev @catalinmpit I got what ben meant. Casey for the win.

Ah yeah sorry. He's a popular vlogger that was known for a pretty rough DIY style. He'd spray paint and scratch up his raybans on purpose the day he bought them so he wouldn't think about scratches. It's weird how one scratch looks bad, but a bunch of scratches makes it cool again?

My MacBook is barely 2 months old and I managed to do this. Time to sell it. Am I weird for being so annoyed by these "damages"?

@RoxanaCodes Surgery? Not one, but two? Should I ask what for? Either way, whatever is going on, I truly hope the next surgery is successful too.

One surgery down (success!), one more to go. Friday evening cannot come fast enough. Y’all are awesome. 🫶 ❤️❤️❤️

@cherthedev Congratulations on getting away from that person. Sucks you had to deal with that. Hope things improve for your future! Thanks for sharing, it's not easy to share this stuff as well, so thank you.

It's not officially final yet but we can still celebrate I am (unofficially) divorced! Also having a cry because I can't believe I married a man who almost strangled me to death

@tdesseyn Is that getting access to someone or just being potentially seen? And how does this factor into newsletters of varying sizes and also those that are new newsletters vs older ones?

best way to get access to someone? sign up for their email newsletter and respond back with good thoughts/comments on each newsletter. most people don't respond back. it will really stand out.

@tawny I found you! haha youtu.be/tKHEEC-CBYY?si…

Your boss comes up to you and says you have 20 seconds to explain why you should or shouldn't use useEffect. How do you respond?

@choir241 @RoxanaCodes @RenderATL @torcdotdev SEND PICTURES I MUST BE THERE VICARIOUSLY
