Thank you, we’re proud of them!

Help to keep Turing alive one more year. I think it’s going to take about $500k in charitable donations, loans, or some other creative funding.

Congrats! I think you’ve picked a good time.

My schedule has been “fix it when it breaks” which is not too great!

I’m thankful, in the modern era, that places like Costco, Amazon, and Target make returns pretty easy. I’ll give this thing a go for another week then probably bring it back for a refund.

It’s 2024 and most technology is still fucking dreadful to use.

Your secret code. It’s the one in the middle here, if you’d like to steal this thing and unlock the hard drive. Sweet responsiveness on the mobile UI, Microsoft.

Once I got in I was finally able to play a game — EA FC 25. Except every few minutes it pauses, inexplicably, for about 7 seconds.

Demanded a numeric code. Clicking into the field despite having no idea what to type, the keyboard would not activate.

Thankfully Quora of all places had the answer — push the Volume Down button (despite them being left and right buttons) to activate the keyboard, then login to Microsoft to find…

Figured out how to run Software Update, it had over thirty updates pending from a variety of vendors. The same sound card driver showed up four times in the list. It “failed” to install all four times.
When the system rebooted to update the BIOS, it entered a “Bitdefender” Lock Screen and…

Thank you. As you know well, this small business life is not for the faint of heart! One day at a time.

That the average grad is increasing their lifetime earnings by over $5M, so our impact is in the neighborhood of $10B so far. Fighting like hell to keep going but we’ve shrunk 85% over the last two years.

I love that you all have made this work! Whenever I buy a Tito—powered ticket it brings a smile to my face.

I’ve been plugging away at this education thing. We have about 2500 alumni now. I wish we were at $1B in revenue, but the eye opening number is…

Hi! Hope you’ve been well 🙏🏻

I tell my students this is why economics doesn’t work. It relies too heavily on people pursuing their own self interest. But when you don’t even understand your own interest and how systems work then decisions are effectively random.

Let’s tariff our way to cheaper groceries!

Yeah the experience on the other side, running a school, was heartbreaking. “I know you want to do X but you have to do ABC” was a daily refrain. The tech should accelerate the people, not slow them down!

I love this. SQLite has to be one of the most underappreciated technologies in the history of web development 🤣

My dream when I left K-12 was actually to build the student management system that deserves to exist. My Jumpstart Lab training work was supposed to pay the bills while I bootstrapped. 15 years later I’m still trying to get to that SMS project 😆

What’s special about the Ruby community is that people actually give a fuck about each other and try to help; try to open a door; try to make a connection.

There are few places in the world of work where people prioritize helping each other over “let me give you my elevator pitch.”

Talking with friends new and old and being real about what it’s like to be facedown in the mud. Instead of taking a step back they said “what can I do to help?”

When people talk about MINASWAN and all that, I think the real heart of it can be overlooked. It’s not just being polite.
