Coding on your phone is next-level amazing— I coded a quick Wordle word generator on @Replit . It takes as input the clues you have at any given Wordle game, and it spits out all possible letter combinations. I then use my phone to tweak the script each day 🤯

Saying “as you know” when providing context makes you sound nice. If the person you’re saying this to already had context, they feel acknowledged. If the person did not have context, they still feel good for being the type of person that would have that context.

@patrick_oshag @LVMH Most people would be surprised to learn that they don’t actually share resources amongst their brands. When brands are acquired, they are kept siloed from other brands to keep authenticity. This isn’t a play on economies of scale.

Literally got into Stanford this way. Someone told me I could just ask to be part of a research group in the computer science department and then I just did that. When I applied I asked for the research lead professor to write me a letter of recommendation 🤷‍♀️

Amazing how often agency is just a problem of knowledge. There was a time when I’d just never asked: “You mean I can just [create a festival / start my own support group / learn fundraising / learn how to socialize / found a magazine / run a class / go to a new place w no plan]?”

I listen to albums I like many times in a row until I get sick of them. The good thing is that they serve as time capsules of memories of what I was doing or feeling when I listen to them again years later.

I remember albums based on where I first heard them, and can remember what year they were released based on where I was living at that time. Maybe normal, but I never realized I have physical/audio memory.

Something one of the smartest frontend programmers I know told me 2 years ago: "you should copy-paste code 15x before trying to abstract it". At the time, I didn't appreciate the value of this piece of advice, and how widespread the *opposite* practice is.
