no hard feelings towards sourcers! cold outreach is really hard, I think this was an honest mistake and I thought it was funny. I'll make sure to check out , I hear they have some killer investors

ok I don't think I've ever seen my company THIS unanimous. better internal search is soo often requested, I wonder what went wrong with this product -- is slack the wrong medium for it? are the answers too unreliable?

I think good engineers can generally make good product decisions, but that last 10-20% of solving the really hard design & product challenges is so hard... and I think that last percent is what makes a product really great

I got an M3 Macbook Air today! Hoping that the M3 is enough to power my personal projects. LOVE that it isn't 25 pounds like my work laptop (16" Pro)...

@leonardtang_ hard agree… benefits of brooklyn is that cafes there have more space, but if they allow laptops then tables are usually full. I’m at Ariston rn tho and it’s quite nice!

Joining a growth stage company as a new grad is weird. Two years in and I'm one of the most tenured eng in my org, and leading projects of 4-5 engineers. Meanwhile I talk to other companies and they still see me as a new grad?

the airplane acquisition makes me realize how much a great team cares about the product, and the gut-wrenching part of a startup's shutdown isn't the loss of your job or equity value, but the disappearance of e v e r y t h i n g you've worked on

I notice that when eng is faced with a hard product challenge we tend to push it off and then eventually... "let's just ship it and we'll figure it out later"

@tylerangert Do you think these "just use the command line" folks are gatekeeping -- like "if I had to learn it it, so can / should you"? Or is it more of "I can't think of a better way this could be done"?

@RobertJBye @arcinternet I wonder if these new versions are usually actually hotfixes for bugs or regressions, it would explain the frequency of updates (and lack of clear added features)

@kgourg @melodyskim yes! not a fan of the "chewy" coffee texture with metal filters so adding paper on top just keeps the smaller particles out of the brew

@tadaspetra totally agree it's a great project to learn skills! but sometimes you meet a guy who has raised 7 figures and has a team of 5 building an "AI to-do app"

how do you make yourself pause & reflect on a regular basis? I used to go to an SF coffee shop every Saturday & write out my thoughts, but haven't been able to keep it up in New York

also worth noting that I grew up in Redmond, WA aka the land of Microsoft, and just four years ago I had a Windows laptop + Android phone. Now I'm forever embedded in the Apple ecosystem

@melodyskim get the prismo (the valve attachment)!! I use a paper filter with it, it's life-changing. inverted method & pre-caffeine is a no-go.

@towheretobegin feels different -- with music or creative arts you're imagining the end state (how the song sounds), not focusing on how it's created (the notes and notation used). with coding it's all about getting the right instructions
