@huntsyea Beautiful UI! You have me rethinking mine

@john_mortal @FiredUpCoug Can be a bit harder to find depending on where you live, but I'm a big fan of Sprecher's. They have a root beer sweetened with honey and one sweetened with maple syrup. Both are delicious.

@AKASpencerScott I'd cut out the "and love you forever." I don't think it adds anything and just seems verbose. After the second screen of text I'd cut to your logo.

@brankopetric00 Learned some things from this. Thanks for sharing!

@elonmusk @grok Sometimes I want to do a brainstorming session with @grok voice. I tell it to only reply/speak when I ask it a direct question, but it still feels the need to reply every time I pause briefly to think.

@grok I'm running the latest version that I can update to.
Phone model: Samsung Galaxy S9+
App version: 1.0.69-release.00

The typing experience in the @grok app on Android is terrible. I don't know why, but I end up with so many more typos than in any other app.

[Merrick Clay @MerrickClayDev]

@grok And if I try to place the cursor in the middle of my message to fix a typo, the cursor jumps to the end of the message after a few characters, causing more typos.

@BotanicalGalaxy On my mission to Japan, some elders would recommend putting three of these roasted barley tea bags in hot milk with some sugar as a coffee replacement. Not sure how similar it tastes to coffee, but I thought it tasted good!

@jyriso The title reads like an ad rather than you sharing something cool that you built. People don't want to read ads on Reddit.

[Merrick Clay @MerrickClayDev]

@jyriso I'd say figure out what keywords the impressions come from and either optimize those pages to focus on those keywords or do some content marketing with them.

On a side note, the header of your landing page could be improved. Use it to explain the problem that is solved.

@vascoabm What tool do you use for tracking churn?

[Merrick Clay @MerrickClayDev]

@The_DrivewayC You're making me want to buy a car just so I can try your services... and I don't even need a car right now!

[Merrick Clay @MerrickClayDev]

Just added "Ani" to my muted words list on X. Highly recommend.

@DanielLockyer @Cloudflare You've shared a lot of "easy wins", such as switching to Cloudflare and enabling HTTP/TLS reuse, which I appreciate.

Do you have any resources or guidance for learning how to discover and fix application-specific frontend performance issues (e.g. unnecessary blocking requests)?

@asmah2107 Grant the post first prestige and reset the count to 0 with a star after it.

@DataRepublican Well-written article. Your posts have definitely sparked an interest in data engineering. I just don't know where to start learning more or what I could do with the knowledge.

Also, will your website be kept up-to-date to include any new spending data that's posted?
