It’s kind of crazy that mental math’s first principles is just rote memorization. Ain’t no other way to remember what 6x7 is. It’s like the alphabet.

I wore @AviSchiffmann's viral AI ' https://t.co/sFPOIHxqy6' necklace for two weeks. It was like wearing a neurotic Jewish bubbe who forgets my favorite color and always thinks I'm in danger. My review @FortuneMagazine 👇 https://t.co/ucoTu7q9yp

Most enjoyable path for a Software Engineer. • Don't be on-call. • Don't be a eng manager. • Spend most of your time coding.

The weirdest thing to learn is that X is more toxic than video games. Cause at least in games you have common ground to discuss games. Whereas the game here is to fight with words.
