Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust.
From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!

The TikTok ban feels like controlling or censoring our media for political gain, which, ironically, is something China does. Ah the strategy of beating an enemy by becoming them

Just realized that #ADHD "Waiting Mode" is tied to time working differently. Like, I just realized I have no clue how long my 7:30am appointment is going to take, and I wondered if I should let my 1:30pm appointment know I might be late. (1/2)
