If you want nothing, you might get what you want. Want something. Work for it. Earn it. Admit when you need support. Accept the support you need. Don't wait for time, make it.

@JetBlue a fake account reached out to me pretending to be JetBlue tech support and tried to get me to write hundreds of dollars to Kenya. Screw you "@__Jetblue____" for trying to straight up to rob people when they're having a difficult time.

Btwn @FlyFrontier+@JetBlue had 6+ delays leading to 3 cancelled flights. I just want to get home already. Day 1, weather-related staffing issues. Day 2 non-weather staffing issues. 16 hours in-airport 😬 Is this how travel is now? What will day 3's cancellation be caused by? 😔

[Edgar Muentes @EdgarMuentes]

@JetBlue I'm still in line w/ several others. I'm hoping to join the morning flight standby list. At this rate I'm concerned the flight will leave before I can ask. I know the agents are doing all they can, I appreciate it, and I'm sorry they have had to work late as well.

@kenwheeler The flips & touchdown dances after handing someone a hammer makes me wonder if they'll have to pad job timelines to account for parkour.

Well, it took 29 years, but I finally watched the original Jurassic Park, a cautionary tale about understaffing your engineering department and letting people push code directly to prod.

@AlaskaAir Done, thanks @AlaskaAir 🙌

[Edgar Muentes @EdgarMuentes]

On @AlaskaAir flight to SFO 🌉 10th in line for takeoff on an active taxi-way. Over an hour late for departure with headaches from the jet fuel smell that was coming in & we're not allowed to hit the restroom. Already looking forward to being off the plane 😥

@donavon Dang it! (He said a long time later)

[Edgar Muentes @EdgarMuentes]

Truly an inspiration for us all 🙌💪😎

Today we achieved the dream.

Made a function called `missyElliott` that takes a data structure, flips it, and reverses it.

I have ascended.

@josephspeiser @yayalexisgay @SavvyKreykes @AnnaGaudio @a_fariadesign My beautiful adult man son, I'm so proud.

I feel like just last week I didn't even have any kids. They grow up so fast.

🔥 Hot tip: Use Touch ID for sudo password. Edit /etc/pam.d/sudo to include `auth sufficient pam_tid.so` at the top. If use VSCode it'll ask you if you want to save a locked file. Select override and type in your password.
You can now use Touch ID to verify sudo!

@matteocollina oh man, this was soothing to read. 😂

[Cassidy @cassidoo]

your fear of looking like a dummy is holding you back

you are a dummy

accept it

you learn more + it's more fun once you do

[Edgar Muentes @EdgarMuentes]

@netxm I try now to think about *why* things didn't work before (with retrospect to add some clarity) and consider if the current context has the same constraints.

In my experience, things that didn't work in the past may be highly valuable in future contexts.

[Edgar Muentes @EdgarMuentes]

After years of freelancing, receiving varying levels of love/hate despite similar deliverables/reqs.. I realized I didn't have to suffer to meet unreasonable expectations.. This was a revelation for me.

[Edgar Muentes @EdgarMuentes]

@netxm Yes brother, I do.

There have been times I've used a hammer because I thought it made sense to do.

Later I encountered nails. Suddenly it was clear that a hammer was the wrong tool in the past scenario but correct for nails.

Retrospect/ Experience improves clarity.

[Edgar Muentes @EdgarMuentes]

@fixmylifenyc Awesome place dude!

[Edgar Muentes @EdgarMuentes]

I will be kind to myself when I'm not everything everyone else needs me to be.

I will always put in work to be a better me than I was last year.

[Edgar Muentes @EdgarMuentes]

Over the years, the things I needed to know to succeed, I chose to learn. There's still lots I don't know that I can learn to make things better for me and others. I will continue learning and teaching as I am able.
