Me whenever a financial advisor comes into the office to explain how index funds investing and 401ks works.

Thought experiment: You are fed up with your country and planning to permanently leave. The only thing you plan to bring with you is the clothes on your back and a seed phrase in your brain. Would you take on a bunch of credit card debt and loans (with no intention to pay it back) to buy as much bitcoin as possible? How much bitcoin do you think you could aquire in this manner?

It's continually surprising to me how little most software engineers think about broader financial incentives. It's common for programmers I work with to dedicate tons of time cleaning up minor features that don't produce value to users. Our work as developers is part of a broader ecosystem, technologies rise and fall because of economic factors that are not directly correlated to how pretty our code looks. Often times, even though we desire perfection, it's better to accept that small pieces will have flaws, instead focusing our scarce resource of attention elsewhere. This has been the hardest macro-skill of software development to learn for me. It's the artful balance between making the codebase beautiful and accepting that the evolutionary system of the market will tell us which parts of our labors deserve to live on. It's the process of building. It's the process of life itself. It's absolutely beautiful. 🧬🌏👨‍💻❤️

Really stoked for this one to drop!

Just strolling past the shitcoin section of Natural Grocers. Is it really a surprise the people walking around are as sick and fat as the rest of the USA when these shelves take up nore space than the meat section?

There is nothing better for my mental health than some mat time at my happy place 🧠💪❤️

"The "if I had time" lie is a convenient way to ignore the fact that novels require being written and that writing happens a sentence at a time. Sentences can happen in a moment. Enough stolen moments, enough stolen sentences, and a novel is born — without the luxury of time." -Julia Cameron 📚❤️

I'm a huge fan of this speed listening to podcasts thing. I finished the entire Saylor Series on the What is Money Show in less than 24 hours (my second listen). I incrementally worked myself up to 2x speed, does anyone else do this?
