@billyhollis I think the body changes can be irritating, but ads on my dashboard? They can fuck right off.

@MichaelK1499909 @MLChristiansen And Ken Paxton has a moral compass? He protects pedophiles, has indictments against him, and was impeached by his own party.

[Brian O'Brien @brianobrienTX]

@MLChristiansen So on the campaign trail he shouldn't stay on message? At least his message isn't protect the pedos. Pfft, if you're going to support a corrupt person like Ken Paxton, I guess all you can do is make up controversy about the other guy.

@natefishpa @_Tukurito @unusual_whales Dude, your "research" lacks. The $200 is the penalty for late filing. Federal securities law allows penalties up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided from the unlawful trade. Criminal prosecution can also be possible depending on the facts.

@thearchitect452 @unclebobmartin But you told me to not stop until all the tests pass.

If you want, I can deploy your project now. 😇

One of my favorite AI techniques 🤓
Instead of "explain this code," I ask "explain this code like you're Ms. Frizzle taking the class on a Magic School Bus field trip."
The difference is chef's kiss perfect every time.
Try it! Pick any persona.

Blind spots don’t mean you’re broken.
They’re just parts of yourself you haven’t optimized yet.
This thread is a mirror I asked for—and I’m better for it.
If you're on the same journey, follow along. I’ll be sharing what I learn as I grow.

After 25+ years in tech, working at Microsoft, launching projects, and rebuilding after some hard resets...
I asked ChatGPT to show me what I couldn’t see:
“What are my top 5 blind spots—and how do I fix them?”
Here’s what came back:

5. Ignoring My Instincts
I default to logic. That works. But my gut is usually right—and I often second-guess it.
Especially in relationships, business fit, and lifestyle shifts.
✅ Fix: Listen to your first reaction.
It’s not soft—it’s signal.

How long before she deletes this tweet? I give it a weak.

If I get 1 viral tweet in life I hope this is it.

My wife married an athlete, who had limitless energy and was a true partner. Then came ALS and she had to dress, shower and care for me. She has borne these burdens with incredible courage and strength.

I love you @sabrevaya.

@devitalio @shanselman The fact (in the thought experiment) that it is not temporary would change the calculus.
