@NikkiThean @tlberglund I’m working through this list, but I’m particularly intrigued by James Brown’s Funky Christmas: https://t.co/GmudWhtrGr

@NikkiThean I’m a fan of the VE Schwab Shades of Magic series too if you like alternate universes (all in London), each with a different amount of magic inherent to them

[Grant Sherrick @AGrantSherrick]

@NikkiThean Might I recommend Empress of Forever. Kind of an insane time travel space opera about a femal founder of a startup

Sometimes technical decisions, even those considered "inferior", can still be a net positive if there's less friction and more enjoyment

Git and I are in a committed relationship but it pushes me sometimes

If you run a small business and a customer is abusive to you or your team: Refund them and cancel their account. No exceptions.

If you let them stick around they’ll just recommend your product/service to more people exactly like them.

Conserve your energy. Good vibes only. ✌️

You don't need to be twice as good to get twice the results. You need to be slightly better and let it compound over time. The world will do the rest of the work for you.

You can do anything but you can’t do everything.

I am strongly opposed to public shaming.

Except for people who contribute to email storms by sending a Reply All with "Please remove me from this thread." Publicly shaming them is OK.

14/ real conclusion now

When you feel like quitting, the thing you should really get out of it is not "I quit" but instead

"ah! Most people probably quit at this time. If I continue, good things will happen and it'll be less competition."

Have a good weekend, and get to work.

If academia doesn't work out, I am willing to accept positions as an in-house philosopher. I can recommend books, engage in witty banter, take long pensive walks, occasionally cook dinner, and split firewood. Willing to take up smoking pipe tobacco upon request.

Writing is often the process by which you realize that you do not understand what you are talking about.

If you call yourself a "software engineer" you better be able to:

1. Flip a linked list
2. Flip it again
3. Bop it
4. Twist it
5. Twist it
6. Pull it
7. Bop it
