@ESYudkowsky @IanFrantz What about money flowing to architects and engineers to figure out how to build them, and to construction companies and makers of materials for construction companies (soon)? Are those not part of the real economy?

@gabsmashh Things like this make me laugh about the original marketing for java where they said it was mathematically impossible to hack java! Good stuff! Thanks.

@BarHBARian @SaucerSwap @DanyEid_ 1st “Fully featured AMM DeFi platform”…are there other NOT fully featured DeFi platforms on Hedera? Does Saucerswap have any competition on that block chain or are they the ONLY real DeFi platform there?

@tradingview how would I request that you add a crypto currency to your platform? I don’t see CoinMetro’s platform coin XCMUSD or XCMEUR (or any other pairings of XCM for that matter)

@LibertyLynx What do you think of https://t.co/Rtbv6dUUeK ? I haven’t been using it long, but it seems like being distributed could help it not get shut down the way Parler did...maybe not perfect but less prone to censorship then this app and FB.

@Baron1Irene @physorg_com @0bserveMoment @NASA With all due respect, beautiful photo, but you have the wrong guy. I think you want @PrimerFields . Although I have a degree in Physics, my middle name is not Allen... ;-)

@MDNR_Wildlife I was watching a video of yours today that said I should contact you if I think I’ve seen an eastern fox snake. So, hopefully I’ve identified this correctly! What do you think?

@AmarachiAmaechi @charliecodes @ossia @freeCodeCamp @CarnesBeau But you aren’t a first time writer.... ;-)

[David LaPointe @davidlapointe]

@cmaxw It can be really hard to do copy writing in general. I’ve been doing a lot with it lately though, so if you want any resources (free or paid) I have a lot in both categories I could recommend.

[David LaPointe @davidlapointe]

@allenholub @jeremypulcifer Doesn’t that same principle imply inspect and adapt? Isn’t that what retros are?

[David LaPointe @davidlapointe]

@cmaxw I found where it was mentioned (31:58 into the episode), but I can’t find anything on it on the web. I’ve tried several different spellings.

[David LaPointe @davidlapointe]

@cmaxw One of the guys on JSJ 373 spoke about a service which manages cloud resources in kind of like a serverless way, but then charges for the VM usage. What was that? It sounded like akira or aquira or something like that, but google didn’t answer well

@IronbridgeOcie I am well. Thank you. I hope you are well, too. I choose not to be angry about any of this. It makes me sad to see so much of that going around. Sometimes it seems like making people angry is the goal of most journalism these days.

[David LaPointe @davidlapointe]

@IronbridgeOcie And how did the republican “attack” the supporter of a terrorist organization? I see he tweeted something...was there more and I missed it, or is the headline severely overstating what he did? The tweet didn’t seem like an “attack” to me at all.

[David LaPointe @davidlapointe]

@rachelcdavies That’s a beautiful view! Thanks for sharing it!

@AmarachiAmaechi @mauriciord Numerous online services allow u 2 build an iOS app for much less than the cost of a Mac. Here are a few: https://t.co/Acnpt5ZM3g https://t.co/BlXVxpaWiS these require diff levels of expertise. This site has a list 18 different such sites with reviews https://t.co/vvlXhqWVcf

@sarahmei It doesn’t work for white dudes, either.

@allenhollub Concerning your take on Fun! in agile coaching: perhaps some of what the coaches are trying for is what Simon is taking about and so the fun might not be bad

[Simon Sinek @simonsinek]

"We work hard, play hard" sounds terribly unhealthy. I think we would all be a lot healthier, happier and find greater balance in our lives if we learn to work smart and play always. #worksmartplayalways

[David LaPointe @davidlapointe]

This sounds great, but it is a little hard to imagine! Thanks for putting this out there, Allen!

Many Agile teams start out every day with a “learning hour.” Learn something new every day, learn by teaching to your team mates. Learning is a normal work activity.
