I’m a collector of simple phrases, mostly one-line statements of wisdom that encapsulate something important about how to live. Here are a few I carry around with me, that have shaped how I see the world.

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

I still believe in having a positive vision for the future. Today, this feels like a most revolutionary act.

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

This!

[vicki @vboykis]

Might be just me and my time spent in industry, might be the vibe of the times, but I find myself much more impressed by projects that make things smaller, cleaner, more elegant rather than larger and more distributed. Less code, less PRs, less text. Good compression is an art.

We are making Markdown files work natively across Google Drive and Docs.

You can now preview .md files in Drive, open them in Docs, edit them, comment on them, and collaborate without converting the file into a Google Doc!

OSI Trail: You have died from 'switchport trunk allowed vlan'

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

TFW you get a message from your son’s coach, out of the blue, about what a fine young man he’s growing into. And, it’s even better when you hear this from the girl-moms on his soccer team — that their daughters think a lot of your 11 yr old boy.

—dangerously-skip-permissions. It’s how I roll.

[Mike P @mikepat711]

I hate when my AI’s ask me for permission.

Yes dude. Get in there and fuck shit up. I do not care at all.

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

@ImposeCost This!

[Oliver Ye @_isomerism]

the moat is literally just caring about your work and being proud of your output and holy shit it does not seem to apply to 99% of people

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

@virtualized6ix I’m sure ai could tell you exactly what you need.

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

@ImposeCost @stvemillertime /goal is a scary thing. Especially when divorced from any understanding of constraints most humans inherently impose.

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

@ballen_clt Don't forget a few non-major people -- folks who took an even more non-traditional path into the work.

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

As a leader, it's so tempting to reward the team members who always do what you ask. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to cultivate the right kind of disagreeableness on your team and to be sure those people have a voice -- however inconvenient.

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

Perfect.

[Naval @naval]

If AI is risky like fire is risky, then you want everyone to have it.

If AI is risky like a nuclear weapon is risky, then you want no one to have it.

@Biblicalman Love is holy because it is like grace—the worthiness of its object is never really what matters.

It’s hard to pick just one from Marilynn Robinson’s Gilead.

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

Kentucky’s EV charging network is growing. We now have 18 fast-charging stations open across the commonwealth, with 11 more under construction. We’re building the infrastructure Kentuckians and visitors need to travel safely today and for generations to come.

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

Oh. And the gender dynamics, especially in the Norris family. Wowza!!!

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

I rewatched Landman Season 2 this week. I feel like I could write tomes of social commentary on the family, professional, relational, and sibling dynamics in this season. There’s SO. MUCH. THERE.

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

@NetworkBrouhaha My mom was desperate for me to turn the news off but I insisted I wanted to know what was going on. The woman in labor gets to make the rules. 🙂

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

My daughter turns 25 today. If you do the math, you’ll realize she was born on a tumultuous day. Today is a day of great grief for so many. For me, it’s also a day of celebration. Joy and grief commingled — so much of the substance of the human experience.

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

@NetworkBrouhaha It’s an unusual birth story to be sure. My daughter was born at 2:30 in the afternoon and my doc, who had been delivering babies all day, watched the news between pushes (it was my second baby and a relaxed delivery — and we knew him personally).
