@dale_nunns I never thought going back was your strong suit, this seems like the right direction

@TeamLiquidCS @JTcsgo This is what perseverance leads to. ZA's greatest export

In 22 minutes she builds a workflow that runs itself while you're not watching, kind of thing Fable 5 makes possible.

Watch it, then save the exact config below 👇

@Clicks_SA why does your pharmacists insist and making people give out a bunch personal information at the counter to look up your account? Surname, First Name, DOB and street address. This is simply nuts

Here is one more Limbo story, the most mind-blowing so far.

After the announcement, we started receiving a large number of contributions from a man named Preston Thorpe (user PThorpe92).

All of them high quality contributions, implementing SQLite functions, fixing the io_uring event loop, getting us closer to supporting extensions, etc.

I came to learn that Preston is, in fact, in jail. He was jailed for non-violent drug offenses (I will link his story below), and is one of the first people in the United States to be granted permission to use the internet.

Most people in this situation, as he describes himself, are blemished for life, and will forever be going in and out of the system with no hope. But not Preston.

He went from a hopeless future to a top contributor on the open contribution evolution of SQLite (in rust!), and demonstrated for the whole world that he is capable of greatness.

Yesterday he sent me a message, with a screenshot of his name on the top contributors of the project and a red line over his name, saying
"I'll tell you what man, I don't think I've ever been so proud of something in my whole life"

Preston does not have access to X in prison, so likely he will not read this. But if you do: no, man. *We* are proud of you.

We are proud of the example that you are setting, the path that you are offering to other people in your situation, and you are a part of the reason we have decided to change our entire company strategy to make sure we have the resources needed to make sure this project succeeds and is ready to replace SQLite in production ASAP.

I'll leave his links below 👇

@6motm @CxziDanny @UndoneCS2 I never thought about holding the angle from there, but then again after 20 years of CS, I'm still pretty damn average

@karriganCSGO You got this, you don't have to be best all the time. Just do your best every time.

@therealrussellp fun fact: Porn eas illegal in South Africa during the 70s and 80s. There were no theatres to watch in. Contraband "blue movies" hidden in the top of your dad's closet, now THAT is anxiety 😂

@WOOLWORTHS_SA some basting on the burgers at #hsbcsevens would have made a huge difference

[Cornel @cornelha1]

@g5taz @CounterStrike Assault would be great, but needs a bit of balancing. The last time it was available, it was a T camp fest

@jamesbardolph @3kliksphilip Red is now RED

[Cornel @cornelha1]

@JasonBWLake @0dxnn But now, do you got the ZA folks who have a stupid exchange rate but want to support the ZA boys on your squad?

[Cornel @cornelha1]

@TechGirlZA @Sonic_cs Reddit is blowing up, the amount of exposure he is getting after that match is insane

@dale_nunns @devconfza This was so much fun, keep at it man
