A thing I always look out for: whether someone uses “I”, we”, “you”, or “they” when explaining different kinds of situations (positive or negative).

It’s 8:22 PM and I’m laying in bed, not sitting at my desk. I will cherish this moment forever.

I love the smell of new features in the afternoon!https://twitter.com/thezarfco/status/1004441543963488258 …

In this week's issue of The Captain's Log, I talked about how and why I pivoted @thezarfco. Mildly interesting content for the startup inclined. https://tinyletter.com/captainsafia/letters/june-5th-2018-pivot-while-you-can …

Remember folks: every line of code is a cost and a risk.

I should probably share this. I’m speaking at @strangeloop_stl! Woohoo! I’m so busy with @thezarfco these days, I barely have time to be a person on the Internet. I guess that’s a good thing because it means I’ve completed my transformation to Very Serious Businesswoman.https://twitter.com/byronwoodfork/status/1003733691816927232 …

I’m very much so rooting for more updates to Apple Books after this #WWDC2018. It doesn’t get a lot of credit for it, but Apple has some of the best tools for self-publishing books available on the market. Much more so than Amazon, which is lackluster at best.

We have to get to a place as a society where we innovate not for the sake of war but for the sake of peace.https://twitter.com/pmddomingos/status/1002656380300357632 …

This article focuses on YouTube. From personal experience, I’ve seen similar frustrations with regard to income and algorithm changes from influencers on Instagram.

This article was good and gave me a lot to think about. If you’re running a business in the attention economy, it’s important to consider how your algorithms, revenue model, and product changes affect the health of your customers.https://twitter.com/polygon/status/1002588552155328513 …

I fell asleep right after this and did not eat the rest of the sandwich. Sorry, universe. But can we talk about how "Or will courage fall to cowardice and chaos roam free?" is A QUOTE. So alliterative and sing-songy. Why can't I write this good all the time?https://twitter.com/captainsafia/status/1002411524638625793 …

Our heroine lays in bed, her mind spins endlessly like an eager puppy chasing its tail, her stomach growls like an impatient wolf. Will she make the ultimate sacrifice and eat the sandwich to restore order to the universe? Or will courage fall to cowardice and chaos roam free?

Pros of eating the sandwich - Restoring order in the universe Cons of eating the sandwich - A stomachache topped with some bloating and sprinkled with some regret

This is my calling isn’t it? This is what I was born for. All those years, I thought I was born to serve the universe by doing good. No. I was wrong. I must eat the sandwich.

My brain right now: “You are disturbing the order of the universe by taking only one bite of the sandwich. You must eat ALL OF IT. “ Oh boy...

I ate all the fries and took a bite out of the sandwich so that should be enough to get us world peace.

My brain right now: “You are disturbing the order of the universe by eating only some of the leftover fries. You must eat ALL OF THEM.”
