I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.

A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.

The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.

And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.

It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.

@LumaHQ Love the platform! Unfortunately, Nashville is not discoverable and links to an event in 2024. Can this be added as a supported location?

@Shpigford Looking through his timeline, it seems that many of his tweets have aged poorly.

@RMB Pair programming and practical application - I've seen several technical/non-technical founders (varying experience) benefit from working through a project with an engineer for a few hours a week!

Have heard good things about this as well: https://t.co/frh4dTETBg

@enrik22_ Thanks for reading!

@enrik22_ I don't use Django anymore (working with FastAPI & Rust, mostly), but I think both Django and Laravel are great web framework. Great ecosystem, easy to build + iterate quickly with, and can be scaled with little effort. Django, Laravel, Rails, etc. are the way to go on avg.

@gerster @natfriedman Building something like this now!

@nw3 @zachweinberg @anothercohen Nashville is pretty much only healthcare.

I found that the demo screen does, in fact, count against usages. Doesn't really make sense considering that it is always the same demo document and could just be cached, but okay.

[Roman @romansorinn]

E.g., I have never called AsyncLending, SyncExpense, or SyncFormsQueriesTables. Does the Textract console "demo" make these calls and bill?

@ejzim Much cheaper, too! Have been finding that a lot of pre-trained/fine-tuned CV models are no longer a necessity with enough prompt engineering.

@galangster @brian_lovin Forgot to mention, but I also set the original grain color to the color that it would overlay, and then ever so slightly changed the lightness to give some contrast.

[Roman @romansorinn]

@galangster @brian_lovin I created a 500x500 tile in Figma and just used some top-rated noise plugin. Played around with opacity & density a fair amount until it felt unobtrusive: https://t.co/YcDs9x3iEu

@cbowe34 It blows my mind how the WeGo route only runs once an hour, too.

@mauerbac If you don’t have one already, a high-quality grinder tends to be the more important piece, especially if the machine is less expensive.

@russellybarra What subdivision of The Woodlands is this? Saw nothing on the news (as is typical of this bubble). Sorry to hear.

[Roman @romansorinn]

@TheLawyerCraig Flew right above my place - didn't see anything from it immediately (e.g. fire) but definitely stuck out as unusual.

@ryanwarnercodes The worst is having tons of design ideas for new features or experiences you want to improve, but not being able to just think it out directly onto a canvas 🙁
