As much as I hate leaving the IDE, it's time to ramp up on sales and outreach.
I'm ready to build the software you need.
From scratch? Sure!
As a fixer to your botched project? Often.
Built to "Just Work" so you can grow your business? There's no other way.
My DMs are open.
Saw the most tragic victim in the latest layoffs.
High performer, going up for promo, tries to be a good guy and lets the boss know his wife is pregnant.
Fired.
For the sake of all that is sacred, listen to

Chatting with a young mother.
“I was dreaming that if my husband made $400k and we had a maid, my life would be perfect, could take care of our kids, someone else would cleanup, could get a nicer house, travel more, do everything we’ve dreamed about...”
I reminded her after tax
My wife noticed we had less conflict in the past 6 months since I started going HAM on W2 & wifi-money.
Funnelled my energy towards something productive.
Now I’m better at deescalating and moving forward when stuff comes up. No time for drama.
Plus more $$$.
Win, win, win.
Your brain is always going to make up a problem for you, which means usually something fake and stupid. Inner peace is a myth. Only solution is to find real problems to solve, ideally ones with large upside for yourself financially or for humanity, often there’s an overlap.

Gov started to let in 2-3m immigrants, temporary workers, and student visas each year into a population of 35m. Used to be 500k max per year pre-2015.

Yep, personally know high school students that have the reading capability of a 3rd grader or less of previous generations. Focus capabilities almost totally non-existent. No idea what the world looks like when they’re out of school and in the workforce.

@BowTiedBull
was over his skis talking about witchcraft, stones, tarrot cards, pagan nonsense going up in interest.
But this year there are family members and friends taking it super seriously.
Going to be a wild future, and some are going to get the bag.

Halal mortgage still charges usury but it's structured as a loan fee or profit share on sale to conform to religious law. The fundamental principle of repaying an additional amount above principle to the lender still applies.
@GrantSlatton
Public log is a weird flex and asking for trouble.
Private hype doc is your insurance policy and perpetually up-to-date evidence cache for your next promo packet.
If only there was somewhere you could learn how to write the perfect promo packet… oh right link in bio.
@GadSaad
You framed the question to be offended.
Would you be less offended if option 1 replaced Jews with Israelis or Likud? That seems to be what most probably actually mean in their vote for that option.

"They tell me we have the Monroe Doctrine, that's what many people are calling it. I heard about it and was initially like Monroe, who's Monroe, I hadn't heard of it.

@BowTiedMara
deserves to take a victory lap.
Long before the Tucker interview.
Long before broader right wing media started a bit of coverage.
There was a cartoon bringing on the ground intel on one of the biggest political changes in South America in a generation.
Gracias.
Once again,
@BowTiedBull
is right.
When I read about male beauty, surgery, etc. being a huge future trend, I thought it was a bit unrealistic.
But, between the leg extensions and this video, it's already getting wild. And probably will only get worse.

Anons in different fields striving to be free, sharing knowledge and encouragement along the way. Diverse in levels of expertise, some monsters of their field, others who should log off forever. Equal opportunities, unequal results.

We clearly live in the best and most entertaining timeline where billionaire CEOs are tweeting out in depth (conspiracy fact) documentaries which a decade ago would have gotten weird looks when you talked about it at Thanksgiving and 3 years ago shadow banned on social media.

I should start using this tactic with my manager.
Manager: "You don't respect your colleagues or me. You don't write as much code as you used to. You seem to barely be online. I've been wondering if you need a PIP."
Me: "You gotta get off that Russian disinformation, man!"
@Jason
Do you enjoy being 12-36 months behind on every opinion?
Pointing like a soyjack to anyone slightly ahead of you in recognizing reality and yelling “conspiracy” is undeniably one of your fatal flaws which prevent you from ever being taken seriously on All In pod.

Sometimes I’m worried I spend too much time on X, so I have been cutting that down.
But it was a mistake to be totally checked out of X for years.
I’d probably be broke, divorced, or dead now if it wasn’t for stumbling on

here 18 months ago.
Wish I had this advice a year ago...
90% of my portfolio in a single holding (that had 20x'd) ...and then watched it go down 98% before selling out at a 50% capital loss. Holding then went bankrupt. Max pain.
Learn from cartoons on the internet. Avoid max pain.
@BowTiedBroke
This is why we tell people to cut half at a double. It’s easy to get “addicted” to just one industry which creates more risk by definition
If you’re already rich then sure whatever. But it’s a good habit to teach your brain that it isn’t smart to go 100% into one space
You will get the next promo. Trust the game.
High numbers + likable/politics and you can coast while building on the side easily.
EASILY. Everyone else saying otherwise is lazy or coping.
Only 5% of positions are true sweat shops like old school UBS LA or Moelis.
I’ve been turning my life around.
Working out, seeing gains.
Wifi-money, LLC, bank account.
Fixing our house, clean, cook.
My wife smiled at me and tonight says, “Have you changed? You didn’t always look this responsible.”😘
New physiognomy is terraforming.
Manifest & become!
I still can’t believe what’s happened in 4 months since I started.
First paid sub this week.
Landing page for new product already has people hitting the buy button (time to build the product!).
I thought it’d take over a year. Mental models were way off.
Lesson: Start now.
Funniest one is "how long is it going to take"
Like dude depends on if you're actually talented and how hard you work so no one knows
Chances are most overestimate how much they can get done soon since nothing in the work force helps you learn the basics of starting from zero

Not programming in back doors seems to be hard for managers to sign off on these days.

Gm!
4 months in the jungle and 150 followers later, here’s what I’ve learned.
1. Just Get Started
I lurked for months just reading, learning, but second guessing whether I should jump into the arena.
I finally just went for it. I had been psyching myself out the whole time!
Man if I get this next promo after the level of fade I’ve been pulling. I’m going to be laughing like a psycho for a month.
1-2h/day and manager says he’s confident in the promo. I was like you sure?!
Fading effort is the best advice, thanks

I'm not an expert but have been following closely for a while (will not elaborate).
- Green belt/Mountains: Toronto has a continuous band of regulated farm land entirely circling the city, artificially constrained supply so it now has market dynamics of a small overbuilt island.
My portfolio (& my friends') blew up 9 months ago. We didn't see it coming.
3 months later, I learned about the jungle. Turns out our failure was predictable.
Initially skeptical when I said a cartoon bull knew better than our investor group, they all now read

Family friend, 40s, 2 young kids, romantic Caribbean vacation with his wife.
Shallow dives off their private dock, misjudges, emergency surgery and couldn’t drive or do much for months. Metal poles in his neck for life. Limited neck mobility. Life changed.
No diving for me.

Computers speak in binary or assembly (hex).
Programming languages (& operating systems) add varying levels of abstraction so the human programmer can think in symbolic concepts (list, map, loop...) instead of manually managing the state of every bit in memory.

This was a true mask off moment, totally shredded her reputation and showed what class, company, and on-script opinions she prefers to keep.
I flip flop between rage and running my mouth at the incompetency and lying at the W2, and apathy, keep my head down, mouth shut, collect my paycheck.
I live to fight another day, but it takes a lot of energy to be civil in this house of mirrors.
@ThinkingUSD
Wish I had done this when I was up 20x, seven figures in penny stocks.
I lost it all. Diamond hands all the way down.
I had gotten numb to just how big a sum that was. Over 10 years of earnings!
If I had snapped out of the numbness, I could have made a better decision.

Did a 1200 mile round trip from Bay Area through Yosemite, Paso Robles, Cambria, PCH to Monterey and back. Incredible weekend.
California has so much to offer if it wasn’t run by communists content with luggage jacked from rental cars.
I couldn’t do the same trip today.

I have never used this framework before but now have written 1k LOC within a day setting up basic models, APIs,
Gut complete. 90% code deleted. All new models landing tomorrow.
Unit tests and CI now working for the first time in the 2 years this project has existed (I joined weeks ago).
Wild how people can live in such squalor. Unsurprising they’ve yet to launch.

Damn that's beautiful, I had no idea there was that much flexibility among the ranks. Plus respect to your CO for swinging that one for you.

I explained to family in 2016 that Hillary’s no fly zone over Syria would lead to more war, likely directly with Russia, & Trump seemed less likely to start new conflicts.
They responded with, we had no idea you were such a mysoginist and would vote for someone who hates women.
Most are convinced that, like math, coding is only for "smart people".
Mindset matters.
All your life hearing you're dumb, not academic, NGMI can hyponotize you into being a loser.
Growth mindset.
Extreme ownership.
Radical self-belief.
Grind.
Learn.
Turn your life around.

Unfortunately my first thought when I saw the burned babies stories coming out.
Could be real, but wouldn’t be the first time they pulled on heart strings with babies to rile up the masses for the next war.
If you don’t know the history, you’ll continue to fall for anything.

I'm looking forward to it. At least we won't have compromised our ideals.

How old is Hamas? Hamas was started in 1987, after decades of poor treatment from Israel, and only took power in 2007. Read what happened from 1920 - 1987 and you'll start to understand why such an organization emerged.
And who created and funded Hamas? Netanyahu's previous
While the waves of layoffs in big tech may have subsided, the storm has not past.
2024 planning underway isn’t painting a rosy picture.
Flat headcount or gradual attrition as people quit, more frantic, quiet expense cutting.
Not even here yet, but seems like 2024 will be wild.
The
@BowTiedBull
path starts with Step 1: lock in high earnings in your sales, finance, or tech career.
Know this: Step 1 in tech requires a lot more than getting in the door and writing code that compiles.

Would highly recommend watching Princes of the Yen if curious about the 1980s bubble & crash.
tl;dr If true, Central Bank of Japan didn't get the legislature to agree to their proposed policy changes and deliberately crashed the economy until they did.

No thanks.
But on a technical basis, they could have already done this (& probably were) with a unique short URL per user.
