I've never in my life had a piece of media move me. Personally, fictional stories can never be meaningful to me because I live in the real world and not some fantasy. Anyways, I'm about to go watch this show called Haikyuu I heard it's pretty good?

Another oil change on my old car done today, which was deemed a success because it did not end with my mechanic saying, “you need a $17,000 repair or your car will deteriorate mid-drive, achieve brief flight, and explode violently.” Woohoo!

One of my personal projects way back was a dice rolling app for my D&D game. Today I've relaunched Dice Bowl for BOTH Android and iOS this time. Rebuilt from the ground up using @expo.dev

I honestly see no reason to get a Windows laptop ever again after my current one. I've got the PC for games, phone for almost everything else. Programming on a MacBook is a night and day difference

I seriously revisit WSL a few times a year at this point and it's always much better than last time but I still find small things that kill my workflow. Why do I have to be fighting to get something running on localhost right now

Question I was asked recently: if mint soda users dropped to 0 overnight, what's my next move?
Trick question. There will never be less than 1 mint soda user - me. I invented mint soda because it's what I wanted to see in the world.

"Mint Soda sounds great in theory, but we don't have the budget for this right now"
Lots of customer conversations start this way. But I've managed to convert almost 99% of prospects doing something most people overlook 🧵

Version 1 of Mint Soda was far from perfect. But instead of moving quickly I insisted we spent time breaking down what did and didn't work. This process takes us nearly twice as long but iteration without direction is just wasted cycles. #entrepreneur #followthemintmentum

I'll be the first to say that Mint Soda isn't for everyone. The reality is that you can't make a product that's perfect for everyone. But we've got an ambitious roadmap and we're already punching above our weight. So excited for what's in store #entrepreneur #followthemintmentum

At Mint Soda, I wanted to create a refreshment experience that respects our users. As we scaled from 10 users to 10M users, that value hasn't changed. Respect is at the core of what we do

Starting my dissertation 🤯
Almost a year ago, I invented mint-flavoured soda.
Not because I wanted to.
But because no one else was brave enough to.
Now we’re in 37 countries and counting.
Stay bold. Stay minty.
