We are fully committed to open source dbt and don't want to build a 'walled garden'. Interoperability is one of the key value propositions of both Fivetran and dbt. While I'm biased, I think the main implications for users is that their favorite tooling will be with one vendor who cares about what makes them great.

Think of yourself as a coach to your 'self'. Good parents are often 'high expectations, high support'. So you can be very ambitious, but also support yourself. If you just whip yourself all day every day to get the outcome you want, you will wither like an abused animal.

I actually think the ratio is much lower than we think to feel good about things, which actually makes the bar much more attainable. If you spend 5% of your time expressing love/support for yourself, and 95% of the rest of the time being critical and judgmental, you will feel dramatically better and more motivated than 99.9% critical and judgmental.

Edit: This was really nice to see/hear. Thank you for appreciating this publicly!

This is cool! My app would also help here!

Good point about measurements outside... lemme see how it looks.

I'll do a quick fix for the tooltip, appreciate your comment! Lemme know if it helps you hang your art more quickly!

If you can prove you can do the job, you will get the job.

I joke that doing these rides feels like I'm re-boring my arteries because my heart pumps so hard. I feel great afterward. Recommend!

I would add to #2, "Get them within a 5 minute walk without it taking twice as long". I am ok if public transit takes me up to 50% longer. But many trips are 1.5 to 2x as long when including transfers, and it's not cheap! Sometimes I have to pay multiple transit agencies to get to where I want to go.

A new piece of art on your desktop wallpaper every day.

Try it out! It's free! Expose yourself to art!

I have no idea how I will monetize this, or if I ever will. I just want more people using it. I think it's such a fun app, and the effect is subtle. You passively get exposed to a new piece of art every day, and everyone who has the app sees the same art, so you can talk about it. Neat!

$140 is an outrageous amount to spend on a garbage can, but you interact with them _constantly_. I love this thing.

> But I scheduled so many interviews I didn't have time to dwell

If you are sensitive to failure, a trick to overcoming it is to overwhelm your ability to dwell through sheer volume of experiences. Usually the anticipation of the next experience makes dwelling on the last one difficult to impossible. This works for dating, interviewing, presenting, and probably myriad other things that I haven't had to get better at.

Does this make it so your body thrums with cortisol nearly 24/7? Yes! But do you improve quickly? Also yes! How long do you want to spend getting better? There's both a time cost and emotional cost to improving slowly. Conversely, improving quickly is exciting and motivating.

I went through period where I was not only bad at interviewing, but so nervous that I couldn't control my palms sweating so profusely that it was embarrassing to shake hands with my interviewer (and probably gross for them!). Once I realized I had to go for volume to get over my nerves, things changed dramatically for the better.

Try it!

We should call it something else. Bring in the marketers!

This is an Electron app, so in theory it should be relatively straight forward. I have to figure out signing and doing some testing, but that shouldn't be too bad. Biggest issue is that I don't have a Windows machine!

I hope I have the opportunity to use this turn of phrase at some point in my life. Magnifique!

You don’t care about security or don’t understand the implications, and why would you!? You’re having fun!

Fun is the deal. If you focus on the fun path you will jump right past any non fun, which is security.

Think about smart kids who get hurt. Were they capable of preventing the injury? Definitely. We’re they having fun? Absolutely. Fun wins every time.
