The hardest part of getting what I want is giving up what's in the way.

Very proud of myself that I finished 2 consecutive greek yogurt containers.

Typically, I have had the intention to eat a healthy breakfast only to not and let the food go to waste.

Now, I need to figure out how to eat avocados and bananas in time lol

I'm getting more and more metal-lier! 🤘🏾
Day 17 - was practicing and found this thrash backing track, this is what imagine a riff would sound like.

Let's go! I am on day 12 of planning work the night before and time blocking! Can say that critical tasks are getting done and I feel like I know where my time goes

A personal update!

This month marks my 11th anniversary of working on Angular. I've been privileged to collaborate with some incredible engineers and genuinely kind, thoughtful people. I'm proud of the work we've done and the community that has grown around the framework over the years.

Dad feet update: I bought a foot rasp.

It did a lot of work today. May need sandpaper next 😂
ALSO...I regret to inform this community that I have reached "dad feet" status. I heard the dry skin scraping against my thermal leggings today. I immediately grabbed a lotion bar for my feet.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

Getting today's video done early is helping me to reclaim some cognitive space

I'm very tempted to buy more guitar gear, but before I do, I'm have to finish this #100DaysOfGuitar challenge.

Today is day 9 🤡

I don't want to live in a world where we forget how to be kind to each other and that seems to be the goal of those who want to control us.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Do 8 year olds have sleep regression 😭

Just finished an hour of chores, time for a well-deserved crash out!

Skinny Pop + Lime Diet Coke + the latest episode of Fallout Season 2
I literally spent that entire two hours practicing and working on getting a new tone out of my signal chain lol 🤡
Today is going to be super tough. The co-founder is sick so I'm on solo night time, cleaning etc plus I still need to do guitar practice and some other tasks.

I am going to give it all 2 hours and whatever is done is done. Everything else can wait it seems.

It's rare that I get to reflect back on my entire tech career and my philosophy towards work and life, but this interview captures it perfectly. One of the few recordings of myself I've watched end to end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdUb...

Legit used this today to get back on track after a day filled with distractions
After a 3 day weekend, I gotta plan my day so I can hit my goal of 30 days of pre-planned days using my personal productivity system I made last year and only used a handful of times lol

(This is related to me posting about "the most important thing" as there is a section I write it in!)
