Everything you learn in the gym applies to life.
-Reps are the only way to get better
-Showing up over and over is the only hack that works
-Losing the fear of failure is the only way to accomplish anything big
-Do a little more every week and tiny wins build into something huge
Mission accomplished. Evil Amazon was blocked from an acquisition that would have supported the financial state of the company.
Now your Walmarts and Costcos are filled with Chinese robot vacuums.
The worst takes I have seen in the past 24 hours:
- Stocks are owned mostly by rich people, so crashing the market doesn't matter to everyone else.
This one is totally false, half of Americans own stocks and crashing the market lowers business confidence, investments, hiring, and has even greater impacts on non-stock owners when they lose their jobs.
- American dream is not to buy cheap Chinese stuff
Having affordable goods is absolutely part of the American dream. The same people now arguing that affordable goods don't matter were just criticizing Biden for inflation a day ago.
- China and the rest of the world need the US
No, they don't. This is an incredibly arrogant viewpoint. The US makes up about 14% of China's total exports, and China is growing their exports to other countries.
If the US becomes a place antagonistic to business, like a hermit in their own shell, other countries will absolutely circumvent us with trade pacts and partnerships that do not include us. Pride cometh before the fall.
- Trade imbalance is the result of being ripped off
We've had a negative trade imbalance since the 1970's in the US and have become extraordinary rich with the fastest GDP growth and living standards. Unemployment is at 4%, more Americans are moving from middle class to upper-middle class now.
These are just some of the terrible takes I've seen, I'll highlight more in the future.

When the stakes are high and the standard of success becomes being perfect (fair or unfair doesn't matter) there is only one way forward....unmatched leadership, unmatched hardwork and unmatched grit. God Bless...WDW...Fresh Horses....

The web development industrial complex has lied to your face:
- auth: yes you can do it yourself
- scale: yes you can do it yourself
- database: yes you can do it yourself
- server: yes you can do it yourself
And no when your site goes viral you don't need to pay a $20,000 bill
Dear @EA@shahin@PlayApexEsports @EAJohnNelson We are in a moment of despair, and we ask you to meet us halfway and give us the opportunity to play LAN in Mannheim from home. Apparently our organization is still trying to bring us LAN, and we will do everything possible to achieve it. But because of the War 💔, it is really very difficult to do especially nowadays. We are ready for any conditions of fair play control. Just please do not kill our dream, career and hard path to it. I have qualified for 100% of the LANs that I played, and because of War never can attend, we did it with great efforts that other players did not even dream of, in blackouts and under bombing, we are struggling with all the difficulties fighting odds everyday for this chances, and we deserve a place among you, this is very unfair to us, so please be on our side. And give such an option. We still trying to make things work for us, but i beg you for backup option!
Much respect and Love.
Players please RT and like, Spread support to me and my team in really hard times, i'm really grateful and respect all of you <3
Things I’ve Learned
What I wish I knew at 18…
1. College is mostly a scam
I’m glad I went to college, because I wanted to work on Wall Street. But today, I wouldn’t waste $300,000 on it, and I wouldn’t want to work in banking. Instead, I’d load up on college credits during high school, go to a school like the University of Texas to have fun, graduate in 3 years debt-free, and travel around the world for a year.
I hope one day EU have a little bit of love,
Hard for small org to grow without any help, even with 5/5 lans qualifications with @Element6GG.
Wonder how that can motivate other small or new org to invest in eu and on apex..
Maybe next years ✌️

I used to think that E2E tests >>> unit tests.
Now I think most unit tests are useless and most E2E tests are redundant.
What's useful IMO:
🧪 Unit tests that test core units of biz logic
🧪 E2E tests that test full user journeys
And you don't need to write that many tests!
if you go build an application in one of those other options every piece of tooling feels way higher quality, consistent, complete and cohesive
everything from day to day dx, documentation, solutions existing immediately for problems you didn't foresee, etc
the only places they're weak is in building highly interactive client experiences
it's not the frameworks faults specifically it's a weakness in the whole ecosystem
honestly think the JS world needs to create a new branding and certify packages under it with very strict requirements.
the @solid_js ecosystem has done a mini version of this with solid-primitives - I get a familiar feeling of wow exactly what I need and it's perfect
but outside of that never have gotten wow "magic" feeling I've had in other ecosystems
This is a big overstep by Microsoft imo
They are injecting ads *into the Google Chrome download page* pushing their own browser 🫠
This should not be ok
Dear devs of the world:
1. Don't trust docs.
2. Don't trust "experts".
3. Don't follow dogma.
Instead:
1. Read the source (and its tests!)
2. Write tests, mostly integration.
3. Trust the code and the tests and forget the dogma, and particularly the "experts". (especially me)
