The British GP is an absolute highlight in the race calendar for the team, so I cannot wait to see our special @GeminiApp livery hit the track in front of our home crowd this weekend. Inspired by our first ever Formula 1 car - the M2B, which debuted in 1966 - the design pays homage to our proud legacy and our commitment to continued innovation and progress. Looks awesome!
If your WFH desk setup doesn't cost more than a used Honda Civic, you aren't serious about your pipeline.
My ergonomic chair is built from the salvaged suspension of a 2019 Tesla Model S.
My primary monitor is a converted IMAX screen I bought from a bankrupt theater in Oakland.
When I drag a cell in Google Sheets, I physically have to rotate my entire torso. I burn 400 active calories a day just searching for the Slack icon.
Stop complaining about back pain and optimize your environment.
Shahid Bolsen: You let your oppressors, your colonisers stay in South Africa after Apartheid.
That’s pretty hospitable and welcoming. You have the most obvious demographic who would generally be eligible for banishment, and they’re still there.
“They're very scared of White people. Anytime they speak to the Whites, they're very respectful. But when it is blacks, they're violent.”

Morty: Capitalism gives everyone a chance to get rich if they just work hard enough.
Rick: Oh my god, Morty! Capitalism doesn't work if everyone wins. It needs poverty to function. Someone has to take the low-paying jobs so the profits keep flowing upward. If everyone had real financial security, no one would take those positions and the system would collapse.
Morty: But Rick, that's just how the market works. Some people earn more because they provide more value.
Rick: Tell that to the kid assembling your iPhone overseas for pennies while some CEO makes millions off it. Capitalism doesn't reward work, it rewards ownership. You don't climb the ladder by working hard, you climb it by owning the ladder. The workers collectively produce infinitely more value than some shareholder living in the Bahamas.
Morty: Okay, but isn't it about freedom People can still move up if they make good choices. Look at people who came from nothing and became successful, like entrepreneurs or celebrities.
Rick: Those are exceptions, idiot. That's why they're on TV. For every one person who makes it out, millions stay stuck because they never had the same luck, connections, or safety nets. The system needs those stories so people believe it's fair.
You were born delusional, and that was the gift. Every child believes they will be an astronaut, a singer, a president, and they do not believe it cautiously or with disclaimers, they believe it the way you believe in gravity.
Then the world spends fifteen years sanding that down, calling it maturity, calling it realism, calling it growing up, until you arrive at adulthood with what people proudly call "a realistic view of life," which is mostly just a long list of things they have unconsciously decided they cannot have.
So be delusional. Stay delusional. Protect it from the realists, who will try to sound wiser than you, and who will always be wrong about what you specifically are capable of, because they navigate using blueprints left behind by the defeated.
