The best way to build a high pain tolerance is to remind yourself that the pain is temporary

[Alan Williams @alanwill]

That’s the unlock right there, both! Blend. Balance. Find the right ratio for you

[Lee Robinson @leerob]

There is also a secret third thing less frequently discussed...

Do both!

I've been remote full-time for years but in-person every 1-2 months. When I'm in SF, I'm spending time with the team. And then at home, it's deeper focused work.

Works surprisingly well for me.

[Alan Williams @alanwill]

I’m not 🥹, you are!

[Lee Robinson @leerob]

Both of these things are true:

1. Remote work is hard and can be a bad fit for many
2. Office culture can be great and more productive

Rather than ignoring nuance, just don't hire the person who needs office culture remotely, or vice versa.

Prepare for takeoff. ✈️ Flight simulator is now available globally on web to all users. https://t.co/hQP0No142P

We've recently added many our most powerful professional desktop features to web. Elevation profiles, new import types, but there's always been one other feature you've been asking us to add to the web version of Google Earth, just for fun...

Fail fast fail forward

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.

Normalize losing arguments on purpose so you can go on with your day.

@davidgomes What’s your general workflow?

software engineers before vs after agents

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

No one wants to hear it but you will have to *work* on everything that is worth having in life.

Your career, your relationships, your health - whatever it is...

So if you don't want to work for it, be prepared to be very disappointed in the quality of everything you get.
