The quality of information out there is all over the place. The time commitment of doing all of this watching/listening is significant. There is so much content that is seeking peopleโ€™s attention. And thereโ€™s no good way to know if what youโ€™re gonna get is any good.

I want to get something off my chest. Iโ€™ve been spending today doing house chores while listening to technical videos and podcasts. After my Clubhouse experiment yesterday, Iโ€™m thinking critically about how we expect developers to learn and grow. And... itโ€™s a mess yโ€™all.

I think "Building in public" should be really renamed to "Failing in public". I think it's more accurate that way.

One of the best ways to celebrate MLK Day is to remember the feds killed him and to remind other people of that fact

"The blood of four little children ... is on your hands. Your irresponsible and misguided actions have created in Birmingham and Alabama the atmosphere that has induced continued violence and now murder." DO NOT TELL ME WHAT MARTIN LUTHER KING WOULD HAVE DONE

On September 15, 1963, King was in the pulpit when someone whispered that 16th St Baptist Church had been bombed. There are people on your timeline right now saying MLK would've called for "unity and healing" Would he, though? King sent this telegram to Gov. George Wallace:

In '62, Connor decided to close all public parks instead of desegregating. MLK was like: "We gotta get rid of this guy." THAT's why he kept coming to Birmingham to "stir up trouble" THAT's why white moderates called him an "outside agitator."

But, again, MLK ain't no punk. He said: "Aight, y'all wanna come for me? Well, get ready for the clapback." "The clapback" is now known as "A Letter from a Birmingham Jail." But King wasn't done clapping back. A month later, he went BACK and marched with his lil bruh.
