if they ever tell my story, let them say I walked with giants
men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die
let them say I lived in the time of Roaring Kitty
1. I’ve been lucky to work with some incredible people throughout my career
I’ve randomly posted the great advice they’ve shared, but thought it was worth consolidating them all
Maybe some folks will find these helpful. I certainly have…
I built 100 wells in Africa to provide clean drinking water for up to 500,000 people! This is one of my favorite videos I’ve ever made 🥰 (all ad rev will go towards getting people in need water)
I was just looking over all the Beast Philanthropy videos and the impact so far is insane! We’ve also given 20,000,000 meals to people in need (avg around 2M meals a month now🥰)
I want to give praise to my partner Darren, he’s the maniac that doesn’t sleep, most selfless person I know, and why these projects happen ❤️

we built defillama extension to protect exactly against that, here's how the same scam looks like when you have our extension with "twitter phishing detction" enabled
we search for similar handles and change the background
Note from a laid off Cisco Manager to all, valid life lessons:
"Just a quick 7 min Webex and a very long career is over. Even after serving my entire career, running a very large team, building software, minting $100+ Million in YOY revenue. Stuck with legacy technology knowledge no one wants in other companies with age that's discriminated in tech companies.
I am feeling like the biggest fool now and learned loyalty never pays.
Hard Lessons-
Self serve first. Corporate companies are not your friend. They are there to make money even if US citizens suffer. Cheap Indian 'engineer' will one day take your job anyway. Keep yourself relevant by learning market-relevant technologies. In today's time, stick to open-source technologies. Do not work on proprietary technologies. In case you are stuck, have an exit plan.
Do not be lured by false future promises. Stick to what can be compensated in the present. No one knows the future, not even your boss or his boss. You will be taken advantage of if you allow that to happen. Fight for your rights diplomatically if your personal situation allows else have an exit plan ready. Do not stay for more than 2 years in a place unless you see strong future growth
Maintain a work-life balance. I regret this as time lost will never come back. Try getting a side income, you never know when your side hustle will turn out to be a life saver. Save as much as you can and invest wisely."
@taylorswift13 for President! I just saw her at her concert in Singapore and realized that she can bring together Americans and people in most countries much better than either of the candidates, and that bringing people together is the most important thing.
Watching this concert with people from all over the world made me and them feel good and connected and reminded me how powerful that universal culture is.
Wouldn’t it be great if we had two candidates who could lead that culture and make smart leadership decisions too?
some general tips for work:
- don't only point out problems, propose solutions too
- be concise and precise in your comms (do NOT ramble or use fluffy words, include TL;DRs)
- don't be afraid to take big swings and fail
- actually listen to the people you're talking to instead of pretending to
- do the work required to have an opinion as opposed to saying shit just for the sake of visibility
- get really good at — at least — one thing
- remove as much complexity as humanly possible from everything
- if every day feels like "work" to you for a long time, look for something else immediately — you don't have that long before you die
