Never cared about the World Cup til now — the good vibes have been amazing. Old sportsmanship rule: whoever beats your team becomes your new team. C'mon America - join me... #usa4belgium

Today, my little one-person business crossed $3M in revenue.

It took 1,187 days, I ran zero ads & operate at a 94% margin.

Here are the 20 steps of my wild & strange journey:

Hope it's helpful to someone.

There is no better time to get into consulting than right now

My strong guess is daily consulting rates will reach $3,000 a day by end of 2023

Here's why it'll reach that much and how you can make some of that money yourself

Fairly confident this has never happened at any point during any recruiting cycle. Good night.

@joerogan can I slip you cash under the table for mp3 downloads? Tried so many times to like Spotify and just can’t. I’m happy to pay - $$ ain’t the problem. Drained phone batteries and crashing apps are the problem. Feel like my best friend married a women I hate :(

@jbogard I find the approach that works best for me is Jenkins groovy libraries factored into small composable steps with the real meat living in python scripts and those script emitting json on stdout where necessary to load from groovy. Testable and pretty timeless

@Wright2Tweet If you haven’t drifted into meditation and mindfulness training yet.... do. It improves all aspects of life but especially those that needs continuous perspective reenforcement (e.g. work). Start with @Headspace

@shanselman Drives me nuts how few 15” laptops only come with a number pad-less key board. I hate them on laptops - the non-centered hands throws me off constantly. At least w an external keyboards I can control the placement in relation to the screen which makes their existence bearable

Starting to seriously wonder of my decade long personal struggle to stay decoupled from planet google isn’t just one huge waste of time and energy. I loathe the business model but but it’s pretty lonely on this crusade

@jambay @zoom_us Thank you!

[kelly brownsberger @kbrowns]

@dhh I’m getting shit for being some kind of zoom apologist but seriously I don’t get this. Did anyone read this? Encrypted only if you are using the app. Ok. Fair. SpaceX can’t take the chance people will use this correctly. Ok. Fair. Zoom evil? No. Let’s find another crisis

[kelly brownsberger @kbrowns]

@hdgarrood @jambay @zoom_us Couldn’t disagree with you more. Few things matter more than intentions.

[kelly brownsberger @kbrowns]

@hdgarrood @jambay @zoom_us Not advocating for forgiveness- just asking it to be viewed in proper context/perspective. Highly unlikely these things were done by evil people with evil intentions... but that’s how it was portrayed (as usual)

[kelly brownsberger @kbrowns]

@jambay @hdgarrood @zoom_us No question. Anyone that’s used the alternatives loves zoom. There’s some shady stuff in that article but also things almost everyone is doing. We consumers are pretty hypocritical. We want great service for a 1$/month and don’t want a data to be sold. Economics don’t work

@mmuells @SiamMarina Is that a piece of green gum you’re holding between your fingers?

[kelly brownsberger @kbrowns]

@jambay @netflix So so good

[kelly brownsberger @kbrowns]

I predict today will be the worlds largest race in history. It’s the day 7.8 billion people will be binge-watch racing to the final episode of #ozark. @netflix’s scale our plan must be massive

@ScottPrugh Looks like a lot of software I’ve written
