The 2017 eclipse left me in awe. I had to capture a solar prominence this time around. What an incredible experience.

@mitchellh @zeeg Haha, you earned that flex. Well played

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@peterrhague Ask her if she wants you to listen or advice before responding.
Act accordingly.

@mitchellh "Don't be an asshole."

Fixed it

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@mitchellh I don't know the context either, but I've flown first class several times and never paid for it. If you fly a lot, you build status. If you're on a flight that's empty, you'll get upgraded.

@MartinGTobias This is really cool. I tried what I'm working on.
Gave me some GTM ideas.
Thanks!

@ilyasu 🤣

@jasonfried I imagine it can lead toward asymmetric outcomes. However, can't it also be a form of slavery as well? You can never let go of what you're fighting.

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@mitchellh @tekbog Oh wow! I didn't realize that. I hit at ~v0.5 and it was on point immediately for us.

Would you approach the same way today? Conferences, meetups, etc?

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@mitchellh @tekbog What would be your general approach to tackling the social problem? In the early TF days, there was a massive void so it took off like wildfire. Now, convincing migration would be warranted only if there's a massive improvement.

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@ilyasu I personalized to be exactly what I wanted. I have a comfortable seat to read, meditate, etc. I have a massive sit to stand desk that is perfect for focusing.
I wish I had more light -- there is no overhead light in the ceiling.

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@MartinGTobias What does that mean?

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@LittleJoeTables @bishopfox @OpenAI Wow, good luck, buddy!

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@elonmusk Still has line of sight issues? Tunnels, parking garages?

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@MartinGTobias I've always found this type of thing to seem like advice, but not something to focus on. It's more an emergent property that's observed post facto.

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@LauraLoomer @grok are these true statements

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@mitchellh I love that you're giddy that someone's using your tool after building Hashi.
True builder

[Brad Sickles @b_sickles]

@MartinGTobias I like that. I've seen so many teams measure speed by how much was shipped. No indicator on whether what they shipped was even useful to the market.

@frantzfries Drag and drop coding?
