@MattWalshBlog Because the past two decades were dreadful. Gen Xers feel robbed of their best years. They were held in purgatory for 20 plus years, and came out to a world that had no place for them. They are 20 year olds in 50 year old body suits .. don't keep reminding them!
@TheManMakerx And when you get that perfectly innocent girl, will you treat her right? Or teach her a hard lesson? Will she become then like the older women you don't like? And who's fault is that?? 🤔
@Cobratate They raise kids better in communities, they cook better in groups, they talk, have fun, tell stories, and release emotions with friends, and they learns the arts of life from one another .. women aced the arts of friendship since the dawn of time ...
My coworker got promoted over me.
He was worse at coding. Better at politics.
I wrote better code. Fixed more bugs. Shipped faster.
He talked in meetings. Took credit. Played the game.
He got the promotion. I got "keep up the good work".
That's when I realized: corporate rewards politics, not performance.
Six months later I quit. Started freelancing.
Now I make 3x his salary. No politics. No credit-stealing. Just solving problems and getting paid directly.
The best developers rarely get promoted. They get used.
Companies optimize for compliance and communication. Not competence.
If you're technically great but politically terrible, you'll never win at corporations.
Leave. Build your own thing. Get paid for your actual value.
Unsolicited career advice: If you find an original thinker with a strong moral compass, do whatever it takes to work with them.
Both of those things are incredibly rare standalone, even rarer when together. They are also are traits that cannot be acquired imho.
The father plants trees he will never climb and the son climbs trees he did not plant, and somewhere in this sacred exchange lies the mystery of time itself - how a man becomes eternal not by living forever but by teaching another man to die well, and when the son finally understands that his father's silence was not absence but presence compressed into granite, that his father's hands were not empty but full of invisible seeds, then he becomes the father, then he plants the trees, then he learns the terrible beautiful weight of loving someone into tomorrow
📚 If you’re a student choosing what to focus on, pick MATH. It will teach you to relentlessly rely on your own brain, think logically, break down problems, and solve them step by step in the right order. That’s the core skill you’ll need to build companies and manage projects.
I'm an introvert who hides from the world, often way too much.
One thing I wish I did more is call & text my friends.
I think about them often, and feel lucky to know them, but experience a strange anxiety that prevents me from texting & calling. Silly introvert brain wants to pull me into isolation and darkness.
Then again, once I hang out with said friends, it's like we've been talking every day. So, maybe there's no problem, and it's just how dude friendships are 🤣
PS: These thoughts brought to you by a brain on 6 shots of espresso.
Going back to work after a break involves a few days of waiting to get back into the swing of things. Then eventually you remember you were never in the swing of things even before the break. There is no swing of things. The things remain unswinged.
الثورات على رئيس أو ملك أو نظام لا تكون إلا بسبب قضايا مصيرية.
لو أنها تقوم بسبب قرارات خاطئة أو سوء أداء لما خلا الكوكب يوميا من ثورة ما في بلد ما.
لذا كانت التعديلات الوزارية أو التغييرات الحكومية.
