When I’m debating whether or not an idea is worth pursuing I like to ask myself the following questions:
1) The first is a sort of passion test. How excited am I by this idea? With no financial constraints how big can this get? What does it look like in 10 years?

Explained blockchain and crypto to my mom today. When you communicate concisely & with empathy people understand you. Seeing her excited about innovation despite being in her mid-50s was a special moment as we often don’t place enough importance on challenging our viewpoints.
Cannot agree with this more. People who consistently try to use big words are usually compensating for some insecurity.
There’s an astronaut who talks about the importance of seeing the body as just another system while training to go to space. Imagine if everyone adopted this perspective and how in control people would become of their physical and mental outcomes
I’m so fascinated by our bodies. Like everything else they’re a system which we can largely control. If we can improve cognitive function, why wouldn’t we? Nowadays I think a lot about how we can use software to improve and monitor key health metrics

Built my first website today! Very simple and a little cheap as far as the design, but it’s responsive and my first time using JS HTML and CSS together. Also understand flexboxes a lot better.

When you’re learning to code, you have to trust the program you designed for yourself is going to get you where you want to be. It’s a game of patience.
Today I wrote about 15 lines of JS in under 60 seconds to solve an algorithmic challenge on code wars. Huge confidence boost.
You love to see it

One positive of working for egomaniac entertainment execs is you learn how to deal with god-complexes and advocate for yourself
Never let yourself get pushed around and taken advantage of
Replying to @InnerslothDevs
@InnerslothDevs It’s super cool to watch @AmongUsGame continue to develop. People feel really attached to the different characters in the game. Would make sense to start seeing comics, tv, and movies produced around this game. In person experiences could also be interesting.
Spoke with a PM from google today. Talked about how to approach problems like “how should we monetize X platform?”
Here are my takeaways:
1. Obviously don’t jump into anything immediately (e.g., let’s do an ad-supported freemium model)

I’m a couple lectures into CS50, @davidjmalan makes the class really interesting. I went to school in the BIG10 and had a few great instructors, but David’s intellectual curiosity makes this course especially unique
