    The world is divided into people who do things and people who get the credit. Try, if you can, to belong to the first class. There’s far less competition. -Dwight Morrow

    Under appreciated skill: ability to think probabilistically, but execute with 100% commitment to the decision. Always impressed with people who can seamlessly shift between those two gears.

    The real winners of the game in which pretty much any decent software engineer could reasonably go found their own business? Salaried software engineers. I can't think of any employee class that has ever been treated this well. It's pretty redic.

    Listen to those you regard as enemies, take them seriously. If they are even a little bit right you may revise your worldview to avoid costly errors. If they are entirely wrong you may study their thinking for tactical weaknesses. Silencing them ensures your own ignorance.

    Reaction is the enemy of creation. Creation requires deep sustained focus. This focus is under constant attack by "notifications" that encourage you to respond to unending false emergencies. Protect your attention and direct it to where it is most valuable.

    The United States needs some form of vetting process for online voting in elections. I’m a foreign dude with an avatar of a cowboy porg riding a porg dog on Twitter who appears to have done more investigation of the security implications of this than anybody. Bonkers, America.

    Humans naturally organize themselves hierarchically. The more you push for surface level equality, the more opaque and unstable the underlying heirarchy becomes.

    There will be at most 21 million bitcoins in existence. There isn't even enough BTC to go around for EVERY millionaire to own one. So before you buy any other coin (LTC included), try to own at least 1 BTC first. 🥅 Once you have 1 BTC, buy all the shitcoins you want! 😂

    When you take things personally, they'll always offend you--even if they aren't directed at you. When you get your ego out the way, nothing bothers you--even when it's specifically meant to.
