Most of my tweets are reminders to myself.
If you find some of it helpful, great. If you don’t find some of it helpful, that’s ok too. What works for me might not work for you.

A big part of being a great engineer is the difference between "Ok, it works & I am done!" and "it works, I fixed the most common edge cases, I'm aware of more UX issues but lets put 'em in the backlog for now, lets ship—i know there's more work to make this great"

"2 weeks."
Musk replied: "Let’s get started today and see what’s the biggest hole we can dig between now and Sunday afternoon, running 24 hours a day.”
2 hours later, there was a hole in the ground

Yesterday a jr. employee reached out to me to give me some negative feedback about a decision I made.
Inside I was celebrating.
