I gave away my invite code with the sell of “it’s like when Twitter used to be fun”

I was more traditionally attractive at 22, but so ashamed of my body and appearance that I didn’t know it.
It was a long road, but I’m happier and more confident these days.
I don't know if I look better than I did at 22, but I know I know better what to *do* with how I look now than I did then, and as a result, I'm on average happier with my appearance now than then.
I legitimately look better now than I did at 22 and this goes against everything mainstream media taught me.

Kinda love this ingenuity
If you're curious how, I got a free trial of Block Party (premium) and used the entire Twitter Blue list from GitHub, then blocked in batches of 5K at a time

What I wish I would've done is started from the bottom of the list and then gone up, which is in order of accounts with the fewest followers

I came up with three short straightforward programming questions to pair on. No algorithms, no tricks. We’d code together & I’d set you up for success. Based on how you answered I got a very precise benchmark on how well you knew Python.
this is very niche but since there's a bunch of tech folks on here. what are we doing to abolish Leetcode from the hiring process? we need alternatives

“leave it” is one of my favorite tricks

My high school guidance counselor told me to save money on college applications because I’d never get in.

Accepted to both schools I applied to, with a small scholarship at one 🤷‍♀️
My ADHD was misdiagnosed as “smart but lazy”, “selfish”, “lacks effort”, “in his own world”, “too sensitive”, “messy and disorganized”, “always late”, “gets in his own way”, “doesn’t apply himself”, “overly emotional”, “a lot”, and “not living up to his potential.”

Being a fixer of challenging interpersonal situations and having everyone involved walk away at least somewhat satisfied with the resolution.
asking the right questions is my superpower. what's yours?

Reminder: You are no longer on Twitter and there’s no need to subject your followers to updates on Elon Musk’s latest racist shenanigans.

If people wanted to stay up to date on those, we’d have stayed on Twitter.

It me. Growing up in an Eastern European household I didn’t watch any movies or TV of my generation until I was much older. And by then I was way behind.
The secret to making friends with famous people is just not knowing who anyone is or consuming any media because then they're just other computer people to you

Please don’t throw out “happy mothers day” at strangers. You don’t know their story, and you don’t know if it’s a happy day for them or not.
