@jxnlco This is why we need to livestream the process and turn it into content. Contractors show off how sick they are at laying bricks or hammering nails and turn that skill into a reel. Same idea.

@ghostofchristo1 @PYeerk @SoozUK @PamelaTroy8 I suppose this was inevitable in a database model of consumption. The more we consume (and we are impelled to consume more and more), the harder it is to recall meanings or nuances, so a base tagging system to improve recall is necessary.

@PYeerk There appears to be something seriously wrong with the people left on the edges of the empire. You don't see this kind of 'try-hard pedantry' from Americans, but you do see it in the English, Scottish, Canadians, and so on

@yimingdothan Another aspect of this product I thought was really clever was the entire conceptual sphere around the marketing plan. 1.8 million on the domain name, form factor is a pendant that we've seen a half dozen times already and then such an incredible online response.

One of the best parts of working with Hamel and Jason is that they don't waste time with roundabout explanations. It's always problem-solution in simple language. I love It.

This is a great example of how simple explanations are better than jargon “Compilers, Teleprompters” are unnecessary cognitive load Use a for loop. Only introduce complexity gradually when you need it (most people don’t)

@BoisyChatels @the_rosenrot I've been buying clothes like this (menswear equivalent) for a decade now. From when I had my first part-time job at a grocery store to now. I managed it on any and all budgets. I thrifted, I bought second hand(still do mostly) I figured out ways to afford it, to find deals etc

@PYeerk I don't know how using weird as a derogatory term fits with the millennial be-your-whole-self mentality. I grew up around the 'freaks and weirdos' in the music and art scenes, and weird was always synonymous with cool after a certain point.

@PYeerk This of course is and was a pretty juvenile understanding of 'weird' as I would come to find out later in my adult life, but this particular political usage of the term is confusing for an ostensible left-wing party to use

There is a huge lesson in this: I spent way too much of my teens and early 20s stressing that my writing, ideas, and content weren't good enough, so I didn't practice as much as I could have and didn't publish as much as I SHOULD have.
