@ThePrimeagen Still don’t understand the hate for MacBooks. Literally the most reliable and longest-lasting hardware in that form factor I’ve used in over 25 years of computing. Probably by 5+ years, minimum, in respect to longevity vs. its next best competitor.

People stress a lot about death.

But we’ve all been dead before.

Before we were alive, we were…not alive.

And it didn’t bother you last time.

So it probably won’t the next time.

@piq9117 The JavaScript ecosystem never disappoints

@techsavvytravvy Simple example. Take any "esolang", often designed to be virtually impossible to interpret.

Better or worse than whatever you code in? It seems that readability is likely to be important and useful, and highly related to your effectiveness with it.

@techsavvytravvy It's not clever at all, it's just true.

[Ryan Fisher @DownRangeDevOps]

@techsavvytravvy Nobody said anything about being ordered to do anything.

[Ryan Fisher @DownRangeDevOps]

@techsavvytravvy Also you didn’t answer the question asked, instead inserting your own answer to an orthogonal question. A common behavior of dogmatism and insular groupthink.

A lesson I learned from Alex Hormozi:

One of his most inspiring, and most controversial takes:

“If you had disadvantages – I agree with you.

You are right.

It’s harder to be successful if X happened to you.

Replace “X” with:

Gender, race, birth deformity, different language, different country, abuse, etc.

The main point of the longer conversation is that despite the disadvantage you only have one choice:

What are you gonna do about it?

1) Take action anyway and become proof to other people – like you – your people – also born into or abused into this tragedy that you were that they too can overcome it.

2) Blame and complain.

And to be clear – do whatever you want.

I support your choice.

But only one of those decisions will make you better.

And I wish I could say this without getting attacked.

But you know who wins by you not being successful?

Whoever or whatever you blame.

And fuck them or fuck that.

You can lead a rebellion of one.

And blame the one thing you can control – which is YOU.

In your mind redefine the word “blame” as “give power to”.

And when you do that, there’s only one person you’re gonna wanna give more power to – and that’s you.

For everyone who had shitty circumstances – I’m on your side.

Your long term side.

The side that wants you to win.

So do it anyways.

With all the disadvantages.

And still tell them to shove it.

And win.

I wanna be clear (again).

If you had tough shit happen to you.

It sucks.

And it’s not your fault.

But now what? Where do we go?

My 2 cents – win anyways and prove that you can win even when the chips are stacked against you and your dealt a lousy hand.

Because we can’t get dealt a new hand.

We gotta play the cards we got rather than hoping the dealer rules in our favour.

So again – what do you do with your shit hand?

The only thing possible – you play it the best you can.” — @AlexHormozi

@Jonathan_Blow Taco Bell programming is an effective way to get things done. It's not sophisticated or durable, however most things:

- Are not that complicated
- Don't stick around that long

Being said, I'd never rely on it in the context that @Jonathan typically works within.
