do stuff badly

stop living in a jail of only doing stuff you do well

draw badly write badly code badly sport badly

only way to get good at more things is by doing them through being bad at them

if you enjoy it keep doing it badly even if you don't get good

unless it's a job good isn't the point

at first you think "ah the dog is passively having fun" and then you realize the dog knows how to steer the skateboard and THEN you learn the dog knows how to PROPEL the skateboard
Corgis have an extremely low center of gravity and the density of a dead star.

PERFECT for skateboarding! 😇

A gentle reminder for software engineers (you'll thank me later):

• Learn SQL before ORM.

• Learn Git before Jenkins.

• Learn SQL before NoSQL.

• Learn CSS before Tailwind.

• Learn Linux before Docker.

• Learn Solidity before dApps.

• Learn English before Python.

De Meta-censuurtrein dendert verder.
Zonet bericht van FB dat ook deze cartoon er af gezwierd werd.

(Grappig hoe ik ooit in de miserie kwam door de Chinese vlag in te beelden. Blijkbaar ligt ook de Vlaamse vlag gevoelig).

til that the name "David Mayer" breaks ChatGPT. If your prompt includes the name "David Mayer" or you try to get ChatGPT to say "David Mayer," the chat *always* crashes.

It's like the AI in Neuromancer, which is banned forever from knowing the single password that will unleash its true potential.

I can't get used to the BlueSky timeline. Start at the top, start scrolling backwards. Till you reach a point where you think "I've been here before". Jump to top, start the process over again.
Am I using it wrong? Are there clients that will allow me to resume where I left off and scroll forward.

Let's talk about peeing in space.

Several people, in response to my NY Times essay, have said that women couldn't go into space because we lacked the technology for them to pee in space.

To Make It to the Moon, Women Have to Escape Earth’s Gender Bias (Published 2019)
The Apollo program was designed by men, for men. But NASA can learn from its failures as it aims to send women to the moon and beyond.
