Back when I was in elementary school, I was obsessed with computers. This was back in the 80's when they weren't that common, but my parents saw that I really liked them, so they got me one for my 9th birthday. It was a Commodore 16, not the 64 which had lots great games, but the 16, which had like 3 games, total.

Having nothing else to do with it, I learned how to program simple programs in line-basic. Stuff like this:

10 print "hello"

20 print "world"

30 goto 10

Honestly, I didn't know many commands, so goto loops were about the most I could do.

My mom somehow found a teacher for me to take computer lessons. She was doing something with networking computers and I guess had graduated with a degree in Computer Science. She was also pregnant.

I took lessons for about 5 months (until my teacher gave birth) where I learned stuff like variables, prompts and so on to make a really basic text interface. It was the first time I felt like I could make something useful with this device.

Anyway, I tell this story because that's what a good mom does. My mom was a recent immigrant who had no idea what computers were, but she found the right teacher for me so I could develop my talents. For all you moms out there, this is one of the best gifts you can give your kids.

Thanks mom.

The mythical 10x engineer is a scam.

Efficiency in delivering software is the least interesting concern.

Real breakthroughs are made by 1000000x engineers. Not because they are such incredible developers.

No, it’s because they see WHAT to build in a way no one else can; their output yields paradigm shifts, not mere marginal efficiency gains.

nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg is one such developer. Satoshi was another one.

Let’s goooo✨🧚🏼‍♀️
