honestly this is one of the reasons having a two year old is great
Everyone needs an “omg, that sounds so fun!” friend. Want to go sit at the DMV and then go Christmas shopping after? “Omg, that sounds so fun! Sure.” Want to go hold my hand while I get an IUD? “Omg, that sounds so fun! Tell me when.” Want to drive by and see if a girl is at

two days ago I got a Minimal Phone (@MinimalCompany) after preordering several months ago when I got the email that it had shipped, I was mildly dreading switching over. I was reluctant to set up all my apps/logins on a fresh device when I wasn't totally sure I'd like using it.

One cool reframe for me recently was anxiety as stuck ambition - a lot of the time when I’m anxious, it’s because I really want something to happen and have a lot of energy towards it, but it (gets stuck bc not enough clarity?) and I end up spiraling. Instead of shoving down

This is a very fun read! You can see Mercury striking a very careful balance between security and UX: - To prevent phishing, they added extra checks for users with password/OTP. But users with WebAuthn are not at risk, so they disabeld the checks for them to prevent unnecessary
A wild thing about Google Ads: hackers can run an ad showing your domain, but it actually leads to a phishing site. @Mercury got hit by this 3 years ago—but within a week, we launched a device verification system to stop it. I wrote up the story for our eng blog (link below)

I wrote a blog post on how to document a database schema, based on my experience @mercury
https://t.co/dOJwldHp6y Quality schema docs are a great investment for an engineering team—database tables are probably the core data structures of your app, and the docs enable data
