I haven't seen a will tennyson youtube video in a bit, but dude looks about 20lbs heavier in the japan video than i'm used to seeing him. Nice bulk!

You can’t outwork the whole world. There’s always going to be someone somewhere willing to work as hard as you. Someone just as hungry. Or hungrier. Assuming you can work harder and longer than someone else is giving yourself too much credit for your effort and not enough for theirs. Putting in 1,001 hours to someone else’s 1,000 isn’t going to tip the scale in your favor. What’s worse is when management holds up certain people as having a great “work ethic” because they’re always around, always available, always working. That’s a terrible example of a work ethic and a great example of someone who’s overworked. A great work ethic isn’t about working whenever you’re called upon. It’s about doing what you say you’re going to do, putting in a fair day’s work, respecting the work, respecting the customer, respecting coworkers, not wasting time, not creating unnecessary work for other people, and not being a bottleneck. Work ethic is about being a fundamentally good person that others can count on and enjoy working with. So how do people get ahead if it’s not about outworking everyone else? People make it because they’re talented, they’re lucky, they’re in the right place at the right time, they know how to work with other people, they know how to sell an idea, they know what moves people, they can tell a story, they know which details matter and which don’t, they can see the big and small pictures in every situation, and they know how to do something with an opportunity. And for so many other reasons. So get the outwork myth out of your head. Stop equating work ethic with excessive work hours. Neither is going to get you ahead or help you find calm.

2019 was technological masturbation. you cared more about state management libraries than the value the app they were being used for was providing. leaning into product and outcomes is infinitely more fulfilling than that bikeshedding bullshit.

There’s no shortage of new product ideas, but there’s a large shortage of people who understand systems enough that they can prevent AI from writing them into a corner.

HTI-4 just made RTPB ePA mandatory—and @DrFirst says the impact on EHR workflows will be huge. From real-time drug cost checks to FHIR-based prior auth, vendors need to start building now. healthcareittoday.com/2025/0… #HITReg #HealthIT #healthcare

the funniest part of ai is when a bunch of people like sre’s and project managers and biz folk think they should spend their days trying to do my job, when i’m spending my entire day erasing theirs.

✅ ACQUIRED @arian1_11 built WishPrime after WishTender shut down. He first tried listing it on Acquire, but the listing process asked for too much paperwork. So he listed it on TrustMRR instead. A few days later, he sold his virtual wishlist startup for $2,500 👏🎉

Just acquired a SaaS for $2,500 on @TrustMRR! 🎉 Verified revenue, secure escrow, and smooth process. Highly recommend for serious buyers.

I'm just testing if my media automation thingy is working right.

Here's how bad policies can quickly lose customers for just not following common sense. I am a loyal @Lowes customer, i'm so loyal it's a running joke in my household. Have been for almost 15 years now. I have never had issues with returns, managers, etc at any point. They've always been thoroughly customer focused and easy to work with. I ordered 5 pieces of drywall to be delivered, 4 were delivered in acceptable condition, 1 was broken into pieces in my driveway (dropped). No biggie, i go in to ask them to replace or return. Now... they inform me i have to bring the broken piece back.... The drywal... The drywall dust... I ask them to just replace it or refund it, it's only 17$, hardly worth me spending my very expensive time outside cleaning up drywall into a 5 gallon bucket to return. They say no, they have to have something in order to do anything about it. I show them the pictures, they agree, say there's nothing they can do. I explain this isn't my first time, i've been loyal, i have an account dating back years, and i've always just had it replaced or refunded, it's not a huge deal. They stick to their guns. No returns, no refunds, no replacements unless they can have the broken pieces back. So as i leave i let them know i'll be making a complaint, since this is ridiculous and not worth anyone's time, over 17$. The manager tells me "You can leave now, don't bother coming back". I did call back a quick red blooded american howdy doody "Hey FUCK YOU" as i was leaving for posterity. I'm not above a childish retort when pressed. Here comes the kicker. I go online and explain the situation and am immediately given a 20$ credit to my account and an apology. Turns out, online orders/returns aren't treated the same, and the entire situation could've been avoided entirely had the manager or any employee at any time asked for my order # and saw that it was an online order. But nobody asked, they just pushed me off. I told the online rep, i appreciate them making it right. I'll still likely never shop at lowes again. Now, i don't think it's 100% the employee's fault, i think everyone has a bad day and store policy for a lower wage employee oftentimes feels like a piece of cement with no flexibility. But losing customers over broken goods for 17$ after years of loyalty is absolutely silly. I've probably spent about 4,000$ in the past 2 months at lowes for my bathroom remodel. Now i'll have to establish some rapport with @HomeDepot so i can just get some decent customer service.

I'm rich & this is a lie. When politicians lower my taxes, I don't create additional jobs (only demand does that). I simply save that money Trickle-down economics has been repeatedly debunked yet conservatives lie to you so they can give their wealthy overlords more tax cuts

Thinking about durable workflows in code since the whole "use workflow" thing, and found this awesome library for stateful workflow management based entirely on PostgreSQL.

Maybe I am getting older or maybe i've just been there and done it, but working at FAANG is no longer a flex at all. Like I don't give a shit if you're a principal engineer at these companies. You probably just played the political game very tactfully and resting vesting
