I build things that count beans. I try to be useful.

@patrickdichter All equity eventually goes to zero. But to compare a profession that’s been around thousands of years with ones that have been around for a decade is too paranoid for me.

@realest49919420 Let’s talk about length too.

@SMB_Attorney No way they are going to accept your offer—no way to avoid tax with that much boot. ;)

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

Normalize disappearing for an extended period of time to do a factory reset on your focus and creativity.

@jack But programming isn’t everything

[Andrew Conant @AndrewConant4]

@SMB_Attorney I would pay 6k because I prefer it to hiring a junior dev.

@RayDalio Which btw is an entirely outmoded concept. DNA is now thought of as a collection of tools that carries out a a series of activities orchestrated by the structure of the cell.

[Andrew Conant @AndrewConant4]

@RayDalio With all due respect, stick to finance. I’ll follow Dawkins if I want a recapitulation of his 90s book The Selfish Gene.

@VagifPchelkin @pythonanywhere Let me know if you would like a quote on moving to Azure -- just moved a large client facing app so the process is top of mind.

[Andrew Conant @AndrewConant4]

@_ImNH @pythonanywhere Let me know if you would like help moving to Azure-- I just moved a big client facing app with a postages database, the move was flawless and luckily missed the downtime they had today through not renewing their domain :(

[Andrew Conant @AndrewConant4]

@pythonanywhere I'm the sorta guy that likes to drive the old Volvo and "think differently" but pythonanyhwere is for educational purposes at this point.

[Andrew Conant @AndrewConant4]

@pythonanywhere If anyone would like me to move your pythonanywhere app over to Azure the process is fresh in my mind, DM me for a quote. Luckily I missed out on this last outage with an important client facing app.

You will notice an immediate performance increase, and no downtime on patches

[Andrew Conant @AndrewConant4]

@pythonanywhere Too bad, you are down again today. I really loved your ethos, but will be moving my apps.

200 hours of work was accomplished this morning while I was on my walk.
I needed to fundamentally change the order flow in an application.
Two pages of text
The first time I explained it wrong, Second time, 100% accuracy code passed all unit tests.
Software will eat the world

@nntaleb thank you for providing characters that are so memorable many years later.

@loganallec Forgot the part about it being 6-9 months out.

[Andrew Conant @AndrewConant4]

@Bitcoin_Teddy Accurate. Except they notify you in 5 years and the penalties and interest is 10k
