🇺🇸 Completed my annual MURPH while traveling to remember those who died on the front lines of war and those who lost the battle back home. Trying to live the best life I can to honor those who no longer can. RIP SPC Smith SSG Sitton 1SG Bell 1SG Amsberry

Don't confuse simplicity with being easy. Oftentimes, getting simple stuff right can be the hardest thing.

Shadowbans seem to be a trend this week. I just got shadowbanned by COVID. Does that count?😅

Even completing all these won't guarantee you the job: 1. Getting a referral 2. Using a resume writer for each application 3. Write a 3-page cover letter 4. Have an excellent on-site interview 5. Have 10k follows on Twitter / LinkedIn

Welp, I did not see that coming. I don't know how I feel about Google Domains being sold to Squarespace. Does anyone have any recommendations for a simple domain provider that can serve as a graveyard for all the domains I bought for side projects I never started? TIA

Finally got some time back to be back on Twitter. I'm considering hosting a Twitter space later this week; there are no topics yet, but it will probably center around tech, career, and FIRE. Also, I'm disappointed that DMX isn't auto-playing after the Twitter name change.

Got to hop on the Exponential Growth Podcast, where I got to share my journey in tech. Even talked about how I used my land navigation skills from the military to pass a coding interview. 😂 I also cover some of my thought processes on why I took a step back from an associate

My process for solving any problem for the past 10 years: 1. Understand the problem 2. Timebox my solutions 3. Ask for help 4. Repeat This ensures I don't rob myself of the opportunity to learn by doing. This made it easier for others to help me. What's your process?

After over half a year, I finally got some bandwidth to write code! Who would have thought I actually missed seeing build errors. lol Currently learning some Flutter to build simple apps to make my life easier.

Sharing some humor this Friday 😂 As someone whose been in these kinds of meetings, this video always makes me laugh and *cry* inside. youtube.com/watch?v=y8Onox… Thanks, KRAZAM, for the documentary. PS: There is always one team that thinks you are the Omega Star team.

Got to sneak in some coding while doing home renovations. What the heck am I building? Card Crate, a mobile app that makes it easy to create digital card decks. Why? To save relationships. By choosing a place when your partner can't answer where they want to eat.

For my 9 years in tech and I’ve had 13 managers In fact, during my 4.5-year stint at Microsoft, I've had 7 direct manager changes. Even with this manager churn I was able to successfully pivot my tech career 3 times and get 5 promotions. The biggest lesson I learned was that

🤯 Still wrapping my head around this thread

I got a feeling that there would be atleast 21 founders launching a marketplace to resell AI compute comps this weekend after reading this Business Insider post. Also, new TC GTFO on Blind $150k base 12% annual bonus $100k stock (4-year vest) $100k compute credits per year
