In 2007, Charlie Munger gave a speech at the USC Law School.

It contained his most crucial ideas for living deliberately.

@rogie @figma • Auto-component prop interpretation.

@jaydorn Oh man! I've been doing this all week, too! So good with a little bit of ice and oat milk!

@ckorffux These buttons manage windows not programs. Red closes a window and you don't get it back. Yellow minimizes a window and you can revisit it the way you left. Neither affect the program; that's what Quit is for.
