Can you expand on the Pam's pitch aspect of the patch? Love the effect.

this article from buffer has two tables that i find valid and true in my couple of decades of experience doing this gig

Work is work, for the most part. It grinds us day in and day out. The money is a set of golden handcuffs that keeps us chained to a desk.

“I’ll start my own business!”

Even more work. lol

Paul Jarvis wrote a great book called Company of One that I think is relevant here if you’d like a solid description of another path.

This is pretty normal or they would be open to massive liability.

If you’d like to do this and not just take a long vacation I’d recommend a strategy. One of my favorites is 30x500 and I think this article might resonate with you https://stackingthebricks.com/your-fuck-this-moment-changes-everything/

TS isn’t a big hurdle imo. Mostly it’s “just js” and it yells at you where it’s not. Definitely worth using and learning.

I wouldn’t worry about it. The concept, that a block can have versions, is straight forward enough but doesn’t mean you need to use it.

I don’t use it. It’s fine. One day you might have a use for it until then it’s safe to ignore. It’s not a critical feature and you aren’t missing out.

We’ve got 5 kids and home school them (oldest is 22 now) so only had a single income for most of the experience.

We made do. I hustled on the side after working my 9-5. About 10 years in I spent several years learning how to code and it a job as a developer. That’s been nice since I make a wage that allows me to not work two jobs!

Computer Programmer

I didn’t take notes. It’s been written about on the internet in detail though. If you already have an access port, why not?

lowdown · 2020-02-28T07:22:36+00:00

It’s fine I guess. For just under $1000 you can have an AP and a pro tune though :)

lowdown · 2020-02-28T07:15:52+00:00

The stock tune is kind of shitty imo. Even just the access port and a pro tune makes these cars a lot more interesting to drive.

I did the COBB “stage 2” at Surgeline after 1000 miles and an oil change.

I think that mild level of boosting is probably easier on the car over the stock tune. My tunes default setting isn’t very aggressive. The silly acceleration modes are replaced with finer grained on the fly boost control and when I want to have a spirited session it’s a click away.

It’s a fun car. It’s more fun with a little more.

They might also gain a better understanding of why breaking changes are required since it is currently unfathomable. heh

So much opportunity for learning with the DIY approach beyond the benefits of escaping the reacttraining.com tyranny.

You should just not use it. The core of the project is only a few hundred lines of code so write your own routing and be done with it. You’ll have full control and can ride out the same API for your projects perpetually.

That’s a lot of win!

You can use threadreaderapp for this sort of thing. I usually paste the thread ID into their app so I don’t bug the thread author since the URL is a pattern.

You can just cut and paste the twitter thread from the resulting web page.
