gaining a few thousand rando followers has made this account much noisier

last year of high school, was friends with a german foreign exchange student
went back to germany with him for a month
one day he scolded me about taking too long of a hot shower, "its expensive". i thought he was joking, but learned he was serious

There’s a lot of Europe bashing on twitter these days, but it’s temporary
Not because Europe will get better, but because soon, Europe being poorer will be as obvious as Africa being poorer, and making fun of it of equally bad taste
before this, i basically had a mental model that US and EU were functionally identical living standards
this was years ago, and it seems like it's becoming even less true over time
If your code spends 5% of its time in function X, optimizing X can only speed up your program by 5% at most
But this heuristic (Amdahl's law) applies to team processes, sales funnels, everything
Learning to focus on the high-leverage points is a mark of career maturity
@rshakoor12 Or will start optimizing before profiling at all!
The number of times I have started profiling and the actual bottleneck is in a place I would have never expected is... > 50% of times probably -- if it was obvious, you probably wouldn't have coded it slow in the first place
@adastroworld I think a lot of it is really knowing what you're about
After being happily married for years now, I know *exactly* what matters to me, what doesn't matter, what I need, etc. And I could dial in on that really, really quickly in another person.
