I know practically nothing at all, but I'd still like to try to help you, if I can. Pronouns: Sure, go ahead and use them. #MSFTemployee (see @AlanMcBee) codecharm.com Sacramento, CA Joined October 2009

@hatter @TracketPacer Huh. Okay. Guess I was wrong.

@hatter @TracketPacer Please share the social media platform you use where absolutely everyone behaves ethically and respectfully, and the platform itself operates with unimpeachable character, with a perfect shining record of eliminating vileness. I'll wait. It's just better; I didn't say perfect.

@elonmusk Sure. And you have the right to ignore anyone who doesn't control 50.1% of all the shares. So that's nice.

@elonmuskADO I call it "eX-Twitter" Cause people are STILL writing "X (formerly known as Twitter)" everywhere they used to just write "Twitter" and pretty much nobody just says "X" unless they said the first thing first. Rename fail.

Maybe more to my point: I'm a mere mortal with a very real need to do what Maxine is about to do. I'm no slouch at coding, but if I need a 290 IQ and a resume that would cause a tech recruiter's head to explode... How will I be able to do what she does?

.@RealGeneKim Reading and loving The Unicorn Project. On Ch. 2 rn. Holy shit! Why is Maxine working for anybody? With her god-like legendary accomplishments, she could outcode Mark Russinovich, Woz, and Linus Torvalds using a 12-year old laptop with a stuck-down Left Shift! 1/

@greypiperr I looked at the OpenAI jobs. Yeah, great $ but they are non-remote in SF.

@xsgames_ for new projects: 1. myVar for brownfields: go with the existing convention (if there is one). This applies even to 4, although I haven't found that in the wild yet.

@SwiftKey What the heck is going on with the autocomplete while swiping? The word I want is never put in the center box. This used to work great! Now I'm typing nonsense. It's not anything I changed...

@krisnova I think I'm the Mister Rogers of Tech. I think the world of Fred Rogers. So I'm the "very early, just getting started" version of Mister Rogers.

@terrajobst Not only do you not need a degree to code, you also don't need one to be the person that other coders call or write for help to be better coders. I have exactly one semester of community college, and for 40+ years other coders looked to me to help learn or solve things.

And since no system I have tried will track everything (especially across work and personal realms), I will build one. This will take a while, but maybe if I get help it will be the best activity planning system. end/11

Every other system I have tried gets bogged down because I put everything into it. It makes it hard to keep it current, or to filter out things I don't need to think about. If I don't have a system that I trust to track everything, I'll struggle with tracking anything. 10/11

I'm starting a new public project on GitHub. I'm hoping it gets some love. It's a full-life activity planner. Projects. Task lists. Routines. Goals. BUT -- not all by itself. A key feature will be the integration to many other first-class planners. 1/11 (thread)
