@theblockspot Remind me, where was Mark Cuban’s $40mil investment located on this timeline?

[Andrei Verdes @theandreiverdes]

My coworker got promoted over me.

He was worse at coding. Better at politics.

I wrote better code. Fixed more bugs. Shipped faster.

He talked in meetings. Took credit. Played the game.

He got the promotion. I got "keep up the good work".

That's when I realized: corporate rewards politics, not performance.

Six months later I quit. Started freelancing.

Now I make 3x his salary. No politics. No credit-stealing. Just solving problems and getting paid directly.

The best developers rarely get promoted. They get used.

Companies optimize for compliance and communication. Not competence.

If you're technically great but politically terrible, you'll never win at corporations.

Leave. Build your own thing. Get paid for your actual value.

@nanofrys Crazy how far down the evolutionary timeline humans have taken their make believe stories to help them sleep at night.

Thousands of years of justifying sleighing each other and murdering other humans in the name of “God.”

Ignorance is bliss, i guess🤡

@lukinator222 @BKG_98 I think you are confusing your Padres players. Tati had been pretty consistent in October while everyone else was cold up until recently

[Patrick T. Parker @STPTRIP]

They reminded me of the ABs the Cubbies had in the NLCS 🥴

[naptonatti @naptonatti44582]

@Wells15Kevin This reminds me, remember those 4 ABs Tatis had in Game 3 of the Wild Card round 🤣🤣

@NiceWigg Good luck big dog, you deserve everything you want from that meeting x1000

[Patrick T. Parker @STPTRIP]

Taking an actual situation your team deals with and turning it into Padres hate is crazy work and further proof that even lil bros can grow up and become 2x champs 🫶🏻

[Dusty Baker @DustyBakerTV]

Crazy that tomorrow the Dodgers win the #WorldSeries and therefore “ruin baseball” or if they lose they are “playoff chokers” and I’ll have a bunch of Padres fans in my mentions acting like their team did something.

Dave coached his ass off this series, much respect

Within a week we've had a major jewel heist, a mafia-involved poker ring and sports gambling corruption. We're living in the 1920s.

The NBA is very concerned about the multiple arrests made as a result of the FBI’s sports gambling code.

Use code “MULTIPLEARRESTS” for a 30% Profit Boost on a three-leg parlay with Draft Kings, the official gambling partner of the NBA.

I think “unplugging“ might be the next big trend in the world. Own your movies on disc, get rid of all the smart appliances, read a book.

Cancel the subscriptions, get eggs from the local farmers market, go back to simple gasoline engines.

I think it’s coming. I for one have significant fatigue with this always-online world we live in.
