I don’t understand why energy drinks use athletes for their advertisements and not me—someone with a full day of work whose toddler decided to wake up at 4 AM with the energy of a collapsing star

Year 3 - $137K (switched jobs)
Year 4 - $35.67M (lawsuit payout from Google commuter bus hitting me)

Once again I will repeat: The value of tailwind is not inherently the inline utility classes (though, I am a huge fan), it's the underlying design system and API to access that design system in a common sense and predictable way. It makes doing the right thing easy.

I was in a big data program at college & a prof gave an assignment to spin up a single node Hadoop cluster on EC2. No one but me had cloud experience. The prof told them it wouldn’t cost them anything, but I taught everyone how to set up billing alerts, which went off a day later

A concrete example of how AWS creates friction:
"I want to try Postgres on RDS"
Create an instance, use many of the defaults (including the default security group) and try to connect from a DB client.
Connection times out.
Spend 30 minutes reading the docs, StackOverflow, and more to finally find out that I need to adjust the default security group or create a new one with the appropriate inbound rules.
Nowhere along the process of creating the instance does it say something like "heads up! you won't be able to connect to this instance with the current SG settings".

Since I was kicked out in high school I didn’t have many valuable life skills. One time I got a food donation and there was a pack of bacon & I didn’t really know what a normal amount of bacon was so I cooked and ate the entire 12oz and realized after it was like 2000 calories
