2/ Feel stuck. Take a micro-action. A micro-action is something that is so small, so easy, that it feels like it's not even worth doing
@ThePracticalDev @jjude This is a gold mine
@skirani @anandlunia Theoretically, leaky buckets should be fixed. But first priority should be having a tap.

Just discovered an on-page advert was mining bitcoin in my browser. Remember kids: always use an adblocker
4/ Writing is the most scalable professional networking activity - stay home, don't go to events/conferences, and just put ideas down

To wrap up: basket 1- A big pile of cash (all about options) basket 2- Asymmetrical risk/reward opportunities
It's one of those days which would have a butterfly effect on the future. The flapping of those tiny wings now will cause a hurricane later.
@dumbo_at_work Middle ground is picking your battles
Programmers worrying about whether their architecture will Web Scale is like buying a lottery coupon and fretting about which yacht to buy.

16/ In a way, this reveals the core purpose of life: to exert effort to create useful types of order that can withstand the pull of entropy.
24/ Optimal lives are designed, not discovered. You have to turn a mismatch condition into a well-matched one.
Forty hour workweeks are a relic of the Industrial Age. Knowledge workers function like athletes - train and sprint, then rest and reassess.

There are things each human was put on Earth to do. Finding those things, & having the courage to act, is one of the great joys of life.
@jjude Still lots of Node but using CI/CD mostly. Also Docker on Kubernetes
I like to follow tweeps who are merciless to ideas but empathetic to people.
OH: "Courage is just fear that's said it's prayers"

Today they've come for beef. Tomorrow they'll come for meat. Then liquor. Then language. Then education. Then clothes. You've been warned.
Amazon continues to take industry after industry not because those companies lack engineering talent but executive talent.
