I've been off the "beaten path" many times in my life. (This challenge is feeling a lot like that) I've slept in some weird places. Boats, huts, gym floors, on the ground in a sleeping bag, etc.
One of the strangest places was on an active volcano in Ethiopia.

I've seen a lot of weird stuff this year. Especially with AI getting so good. But this is by far the number #1, "what in the actual fuck" thing I saw all year.
I actually don't think it's AI either.

HOLY SHIT, today I learned you could do this in Chrome.
1. Open the dev tool
2. Right-click on the refresh button
Now you can click one of these options. I know a lot of dev tool tricks other devs don't. But I did not know this one.

Back in the day, Quroa had a program where they would pay you if you asked questions that got a lot of views.
It was crazy. I would randomly think of insane questions. Pop into Quroa, type it in, and slowly make beer money. Over the course of a few years, I made like $500.
Anyone else do this?

10 years ago, I booked a one-way ticket to Mexico and moved abroad. I spoke ZERO Spanish. It was lonely and hell trying to express myself while learning the language.
One time, I messaged someone "🌮🔥🍻❓" They understood me!!
I realized emojis are the closest thing we have to a universal language.

I've been posting the most unhinged, crazy shit on LinkedIn lately. I just don't give a damn anymore.
Quietly, a few people have told me they love it.

I started working in tech at a very young age (21 years old). My Hacker News account is from 2011, so I've been around a long time.
Am I the only one that just doesn't like hackernews anymore? It just seems like a bunch of old grumpy tech workers.

When I watched the Terminator movies before. I used to think "Skynet"!? What a horrible name. Who would name an AI tool so badly? Well, turned out that was more realistic than I first thought.

I hate lorem ipsum. Nothing says this project is going nowhere like using a dead language for your placeholder text. I'm building The Next Big Thing™ here. I need to be inspired and have wisdom even when I'm building and shipping!
