One of my more surreal moments recently: "Through a convoluted and somewhat comical set of circumstances, we find ourselves in a situation where the app actually works, right now, on prod - but it will break in early May. May 6th, actually. At 4:54pm, to be precise."

Are there other disciplines outside of software development with consistent 10x differences in individual contributors (controlling for experience)? My hypothesis: a significant bottleneck in software is the human brain in the chair. IOW, there's a *higher ceiling*.

This might be the greatest website design I've ever seen. I recently told a friend that SF is the only major US city you'd have to *pay me* to visit. After 1 minute on this site, I've got Kayak open and looking at prices.

One of my biggest realizations post-college: It’s okay to stop a book after only reading a couple chapters. A great books curriculum spoils you. The majority of books are terrible.

As a developer & designer, few things are as humbling as watching the @hotjar session replays of your elegantly beautiful UI completely befuddling your users.

I'm now monkey patching querySelectorAll on an element. Further evidence that no good code is written after midnight 🙈
