Sadness comes from a lack of options. —Which is why it it feels like hopelessness. Anxiety comes from many options but a lack of priorities. —Which is why it feels like paralysis. Looking everywhere but moving nowhere. Solve sadness with knowledge & anxiety with a decision.

I spent $44 billion for this app and now Lizard boy just decided to hit copy and paste. It’s personal now. See you in the cage, Zuck.

Good programming advice can be taken too far: DRY - “I don’t repeat anything, ever” Single responsibility - “Every function I write is one line” TDD - “I always write the test first and have 100% coverage” Think of these ideas as a spectrum. The mistakes are at the extremes.

I remember when everyone was going to quit Twitter because Elon musk took over. Now Twitter is quitting on them.

If you're weighing which platform to advertise on, why not consider the one that stops working for people who look at it too much
