Ability to regulate emotions is a super power.

The number of people having severe heart issues in my extended circle is terrifying. The common thread seems to be sleep deprivation, and not nearly enough is spoken about the importance of sleep on overall health & well-being. The problem has gotten worse post-COVID & WFH. 1/3

There is a special plan in hell for apps that don't support password managers AND disable the paste option in the password field. In most cases it's not the app developer but someone else who believes this makes for better security. Like $@#!**

If I had to tell folks what career advice I'd give them, it would be to kill your ego. Some orgs value output and code being written, but quite frankly, nobody can work in a silo like that long-term. As you level up, it becomes about macroimpact, not microimpact.
