I spent a week with Farza Majeed. In his own words, he's "just a guy that loves creating things for others", such as:
- a $100k/year eBay business selling CDs as a teenager
- Zipschool, a better way to homeschool your kids via live classes for 150,000 students
- Buildspace, a school for people to work on their own ideas, helping over 200,000 people become app developers, content creators, musicians, writers, or doing anything else they loved
Farza is like the internet's big brother. He makes it seem so simple to follow your passion, because he's because he's been doing it for years. He never gives advice, just tells his story and hopes people learn something from it. You look at him and think, "if he can do it, why can't I?"
Everyone in Silicon Valley wants something from you, but Farza literally hasn't charged his users for the past 5 years. I'm often shocked at how he's able to afford rent, yet I'm also fairly certain he's going to be a billionaire.
After burning out, he's back to founding another company. I wrote for @sfalexandria_ about his journey, how he changes the lives of everyone he meets, and what keeps him going.

gonna try freewriting today. i’ve mostly stopped posting across all feeds bc being constantly online to monitor is truly a mental disease. and a lot of the things i’ve put out recently (skits, daily tech summaries, abridged.tech) naturally had to partake in this vice. but i’m more interested in finding ways to be online without motives, both for myself and others. and i think writing aimlessly for 15min will help cause any output > no output
gonna use farza’s free, local tool xitter.cf/farzatv/status/1910789…

Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

my youtube premium was voided cause of location access controls so i’ve been using youtube normal
it’s insane how fucking bad the ads are. like the quality of the ads are absolute slop + a user can’t just skip an ad but also has to dismiss a pop up (2 taps you can’t fat finger) when the video plays again
