I was looking at some photos of myself about 10 years ago. At the time, I had been hitting the gym hard, consistently, and intelligently. I had a huge bench press, squad, and deadlift, and was lifting 4-5 days a week, and managed every facet of my diet.

Now, I'm older, have kids, don't sleep as much, and definitely don't make it to the gym as much. I might lift twice a week - and don't try very hard or do progressive overload at all - and try to get in 3-4 days of cardio.

And I honestly don't look very different. Muscles are roughly the same size. In clothes, most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

When vscode was released, Sublime was faster - and it stayed faster. But that wasn't enough to stop the rise of vscode.

They really just should have used Monaco. This will be a burden to maintain and won't be a core differentiator.

The latter turns out to be a much more effective way to build power and influence.

There have been zero times in my career where I thought "hmm, maybe we shouldn't have build this thing in React and let's just go back to page scripts." If you're building landing pages and websites, then okay. But that's not most of what we're all hired to build these days.

I like it for general refactoring and day to day small tasks, but anything that's relatively domain-specific, I just can't seem to get anything that's worth using.

Unfortunately, Alex Jones the person and the nature of Sandy Hook means that most people won't be able to look at this situation with any sort of sanity. The verdict could have been 100 trillion and people would have said it was deserved.
