You can’t outwork the whole world. There’s always going to be someone somewhere willing to work as hard as you. Someone just as hungry. Or hungrier.

Assuming you can work harder and longer than someone else is giving yourself too much credit for your effort and not enough for theirs. Putting in 1,001 hours to someone else’s 1,000 isn’t going to tip the scale in your favor.

What’s worse is when management holds up certain people as having a great “work ethic” because they’re always around, always available, always working. That’s a terrible example of a work ethic and a great example of someone who’s overworked.

A great work ethic isn’t about working whenever you’re called upon. It’s about doing what you say you’re going to do, putting in a fair day’s work, respecting the work, respecting the customer, respecting coworkers, not wasting time, not creating unnecessary work for other people, and not being a bottleneck. Work ethic is about being a fundamentally good person that others can count on and enjoy working with.

So how do people get ahead if it’s not about outworking everyone else?

People make it because they’re talented, they’re lucky, they’re in the right place at the right time, they know how to work with other people, they know how to sell an idea, they know what moves people, they can tell a story, they know which details matter and which don’t, they can see the big and small pictures in every situation, and they know how to do something with an opportunity. And for so many other reasons.

So get the outwork myth out of your head. Stop equating work ethic with excessive work hours. Neither is going to get you ahead or help you find calm.

2019 was technological masturbation. you cared more about state management libraries than the value the app they were being used for was providing. leaning into product and outcomes is infinitely more fulfilling than that bikeshedding bullshit.

I just release UNITFORGE:
Most units libs assume meters and pounds. UNITFORGE assumes you may actually need parsecs, yobibytes, or whatever else your domain actually needs. Three simple primitives, BYO kit, tree-shakeable to 278 B. TypeScript-native.

There’s no shortage of new product ideas, but there’s a large shortage of people who understand systems enough that they can prevent AI from writing them into a corner.

@thoughtson_tech who have you found in the pbm world, easiest to work with for rtpb api access etc?

[EMR, EHR and HIT @ehrandhit]

HTI-4 just made RTPB + ePA mandatory—and @DrFirst says the impact on EHR workflows will be huge.

From real-time drug cost checks to FHIR-based prior auth, vendors need to start building now.

[Daniel Ashcraft @Dashcraft89]

@thoughtson_tech Yes, however every payer is blocking integration for any RTPB and saying "use x product" or "go to surescripts".

Until this changes, we'll be stuck

@vlucas RSC was a footgun, i've avoided them for almost everything. Their footprint should be limited in scope and for specific purposes if used.

[Daniel Ashcraft @Dashcraft89]

@AskPayPal I’ve done that but I haven’t heard back in like 3 weeks?

[Daniel Ashcraft @Dashcraft89]

@PayPal ive been trying to get in contact with sales/support to set up a production developer api for business (merchant) but nobody has messaged me back yet. What gives?

@AJA_Cortes Well known since the 70's, viagra is literally a fantastic vasodilator, which is what these are used for. Better than any preworkout of "NO2" supplement

@adamdotdev Multiple walks a day without phone is absolutely a must imo.

[Daniel Ashcraft @Dashcraft89]

@braintree I’ve been trying to get an account for like a week, what gives?

[Daniel Ashcraft @Dashcraft89]

@vlucas Fair enough

[Daniel Ashcraft @Dashcraft89]

@vlucas Okay, I’m just trying to understand. I feel like I empathize with both sides of this equation. I wanted to understand more about you specifically disagreed with
