@ThePrimeagen Four space indents was the real mistake

@mar15sa Couldn’t agree more. Moved my remote team to an async style daily-status Slack channel, people give daily updates on what they are working on and if there are any blocks. No prescribed time to post. I review and help resolve any blocks if there are any. The team loves it

@dissproportion Nice play on the Monty Hall problem. I voted swap so that your daughter had a lesser chance of eating your nail 🤣 Check out Blackwell’s Bet if you’ve never heard of it

@AlanLevinovitz James Fenimore Cooper’s narrative style was not my favorite, but I love The Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis as Hawkeye

@barstoolsports Romo is the best announcer when it comes to breaking down in-game strategy. Should pair him with Al Michaels and it would be the best announcer duo since Madden and Michaels. But for every great announcer, the league needs to pair them with a shill who won’t call out the refs

Want to know what holds your company back from being high performers?

You treat your team like children.

@itsbalal Prevents passing in types that a function doesn’t expect, by accident or otherwise. Prevents reassignment of a declared variable to another type. It WILL slow down your ability to iterate, but this becomes a feature over time as a project/team grows.

@AaronJTheGreat @engineers_feed I saw these things. I’ve seen them used. The idea being that you never go home. Probably a lot of fun if you don’t have a family, but either way designed to keep you at work.

@heykayadams Consistency. Boom bust teams don’t win super bowls. Teams with single points of failure, generally at QB, don’t either. Example: when Trevor Lawrence plays well, the jags offense looks amazing. When he doesn’t, they are hard to watch.

Some interesting thoughts about proving your flesh-status on an internet overrun with bots. Dialect and referencing recent events seem the most promising right now, but are still subject to locality/niche to some degree https://t.co/Szi1zjh1L5

@AlmostMedia Good freakonomics radio episode related to your question https://t.co/Flv9rV4iYb Probably raised the mortality floor while lowering the ceiling, with the ceiling being artificially propped up by pharma. Quality of life is what suffers.

@elonmusk I am absolutely not for journalists tracking your location in real time under the umbrella of free speech. I don’t like dichotomies either. Why not add some nuance to these polls, instead of a winner take all system?
