Talk, share, review what you enjoy and there will be more ❤️
Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

This is your regular reminder that Elon actually knows very, very little about technology. As my dad would say, just enough to get himself into trouble.

And now the rest of us, unfortunately.
Trump: "I did ask Elon because he knows more about computers than anybody I know. I said, what do you think of the voting system? He said, computers are not meant for voting. It's too many transactions taking place too quickly."

1. Programming gives you the joy of hacking.
2. Testing raises confidence in its correctness.
3. Documenting helps users understand it all.

In the case of public software, like OSS, to me, a complete programmer commits to the three of them.

A beautiful soul on Twitter gave me an idea that improved my life: replace new years resolutions with a bingo card of goals you want to try and do over the year

It's great for goal setting, motivation, it lets you see your progress throughout the year and I give myself a little treat w each bingo🎁
