I don't even notice it without caffeine (coffee), but it has transformed coffee for me from something I had to be super careful with to something that is incredibly enjoyable and productivity-inducing without feeling sick and insane.

I think this is where celebration becomes key. You have to celebrate and congratulate the team to make those moments happen for everyone, so that the feeling of 'the team did it' becomes real. I am not a celebratory person by nature, and this was actually strangely hard for me, it felt cringey. Makes a huge difference though.

You don't need to be 100% in love with yourself to 'love yourself' or be kind to yourself to some degree. I think sometimes people (me) hear stuff like this, and feel like it's all or nothing.

Think of yourself as a coach to your 'self'. Good parents are often 'high expectations, high support'. So you can be very ambitious, but also support yourself. If you just whip yourself all day every day to get the outcome you want, you will wither like an abused animal.

I actually think the ratio is much lower than we think to feel good about things, which actually makes the bar much more attainable. If you spend 5% of your time expressing love/support for yourself, and 95% of the rest of the time being critical and judgmental, you will feel dramatically better and more motivated than 99.9% critical and judgmental.

I have an M1 Air 16gb and it's the best computer I've ever owned by such a wide margin that it's hard to believe they could improve it. Hard to overstate how dramatic an improvement it is relative to intel machines, especially if you tend to push your computer. It almost never heats up, and the battery lasts forever. Remarkable engineering.

Yo I would love the help to maintain/curate. A combination of the holidays and a really aggressive start to the new year at work made me fall off the update wagon. Email me and we can setup a time to chat.

Edit: This was really nice to see/hear. Thank you for appreciating this publicly!

I appreciate you going against my wishes :)

This is cool! My app would also help here!

I have no idea what that is and I refuse to find out

Yeah I didn't want to use a library for tooltips and at that point in the project my enthusiasm was starting to flag a bit :)

Good point about measurements outside... lemme see how it looks.

I'll do a quick fix for the tooltip, appreciate your comment! Lemme know if it helps you hang your art more quickly!

I had a buddy with multiple felonies for selling drugs when he was younger get a job at Facebook as a SWE. He was promoted to Senior while he was there. He had no college degree, and his completion of high school was the GED.

If you can prove you can do the job, you will get the job.

A key unlock for me was doing exercise where at some point I was trying so hard and breathing so aggressively that I couldn't really think anymore, I could only focus on the task at hand. For me, that's been biking up steep hills. I like biking because I get to see a bunch of cool stuff and if I go up hills I get a dope view.

I joke that doing these rides feels like I'm re-boring my arteries because my heart pumps so hard. I feel great afterward. Recommend!

I am happy for my tax dollars to go to efforts like these. The world is cooler when we have people doing rad stuff.
