And of course I’d appreciate any referrals.
I’m building up my software consulting business.
If you don’t have an in-house dev team, I want to hear about your tech struggles.
Broken systems?
Manual processes?
Something duct-taped together?
No sales pitch. Just trying to understand real problems.
If I can help, I will.
Every once in awhile I have a bad day, then I slap myself and remember that I’m the freakin Sunshine Bazooka.
Life is 93% about perspective.
I’m hashtag blessed beyond my wildest imagination.
12 years ago today my buddy @AdamD_Apple_F3 introduced me to the men of the @F3Nation and my life was forever changed. With my back injury I’m no longer able to post for the workouts, but the guys I’ve met in the gloom always have my back.
A few weeks ago we lost my mom. At her funeral I looked behind me only to see some of my @F3Nation pals sitting there. They took the time to drive 90 miles to support me. They had never met mom. They were there, without being asked.
That’s F3.
As I season (age), I’m reminded the value of finding ways in life to turn liabilities into assets: Figuring out how to find value in pain, loss and adversity is what gets you through those challenges and promotes growth.
Hey network: It’s expensive to feed this crew:
I’m looking for some contract frontend web development work while I’m between jobs. No job too small or large.
I’ve got 20+ years of experience and the last 8 I’ve been working in React.
Feel free to share. Thanks!
Ok Twitter Machine, I need some protips...
I'm 4 months into the job hunt, and I'm applying for lateral jobs, but I've not seen anything like this in tech in the 25 years I've been slinging code.
Assuming I meet the job requirements, how do I stand out among 600 applicants?

How do you keep remote teams engaged?
To build a high-performance team you have to get together at least a couple times a year to invest in the team’s long-term health.
If you have experience leading people from a distance id love to hear from you…

I’m back!
The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.
Thanks for the TAP guys. – at Seven Oaks, SC
Let’s all say a prayer for @srankin given his surgery today and pray this brings relief from years of pain. I’ve know him a long time and can say with no hesitation that he is one of the really good men.
Good luck, brother.

This is a great framework for general comz because we humans don’t hear everything the first time around.
It’s the same plan my freshman English teacher Mr Densmore taught us when writing: “Tell them what you’ll tell them; Tell them; then you tell them that you told them”. – at South Carolina, USA

My two most prized earthly possessions are my antique #7 Stanley handplane and my collection of friends.
I reach for one of them when I need to straighten something out and the other is collecting dust in the shop. – at South Carolina, USA
50% of men have fewer than 3 close friends
And about 1 in 5 men (20%) report having no close friends at all
But men need close friendships as much as anyone else. Close friendships are how we challenge ourselves and get better. They're how we solve problems and build new things.
So never be afraid to reach out if you're feeling alone, because chances are you're not the only one.
