Please friends, follow, check your riding, and if you live in a riding where the vote is being split between 2 or more parties where the conservatives have a chance to win due to a vote split, tell all your neighbors/close friends to vote for the party most likely to win. #ABC

Why even ask if people would pay for your product?
The math is simple - they'll save time, so they can't afford NOT to buy it.
Maybe they should buy it twice!
No need to find out.

“Stealth mode” and other f’ing brilliant strategies
Oh you secretive devil! The last thing you need is anyone finding out about your startup. Like competitors. Or customers.

If you’re ever wondering why wildfire smoke is so bad for you it’s because it includes things like “an entire bicycle”
My Co-founder Josh Weinsch took this photo of his little daughter’s bike, which was in their driveway when they evacuated. Their neighborhood was vaporized.

I find that I am not nearly young enough to know everything anymore.
Plus if you never have questions or need help you are not challenging yourself enough. You can’t level up if you only work in what you already know!
Some of the most used software in the world is made by a bunch of developers who pieced their solutions together with the help of YouTube, blog articles, coding forums, and asking for help from other developers.
Don't feel bad if you have to ask questions or need help!

‼️ I just learned that putting "-AI" at the end of a Google search, it'll supress the garbage AI generated answers.
Just tested and confirmed it seems to work, at least for now!

I hate how much the tech industry (which is actually finance) has made me hate technology. I was a little girl who hung out at Radio Shack. I went to college where BASIC was invented and "artificial intelligence" was coined.
And all these fuckheads care about is making money.
