People on all sides of the spectrum are pissed that the majority of the divisive content on this app is from foreign agents. If a few guys from a 3rd world country with an app can manufacture a culture war... Imagine what people with real resources and influence are doing...

Software-career thought leaders will warn you against taking an “off-ramp” from engineering. What they don't tell you is that eventually, the off-ramp comes for all of us. Take the off-ramp before it takes you. A letter to my stupid 22-year-old self: newsletter.goodtechthings.co…

This picture gives me mixed emotions. I drive my son to school in the morning. I park on a nearby street so we can have a little walk together. Great moment every morning. Until recently, I’d walk him to the gate. This week he asked me “Daddy, I wanna walk by myself today”. He felt confident enough to do it. So I told him to go ahead. At 7 years old, it probably gives him a nice boost of confidence. But it’s true what they say. One day, you’re going to do something with your kids for the last time and you won’t even know it. They’ll ask you to play for the last time. They’ll ask you to hold them up for the last time. That’s why it’s so important to be grateful for every single moment. To be present and engaged in our children’s lives. Because you don’t know. Maybe today will be the last time for something…

You want to create a useful self-guided online workshop. Where have you seen good ones that you would emulate? Ones where you thought to yourself that this was worth your time and you learned something new?

Make peace with the fact that not everyone thinks like you do, not everyone feels like you do, and not everyone wants to live like you do.
