- I just saw on reddit that the opposite of “easy peasy lemon squeezy” is “stressed depressed lemon zest” and now I’m using that all the time.
- My landlord wants to hike my rent by £500 per month. Which would wipe out my entire disposable income. I don't have enough for a deposit to buy. I can't express how upset I am with a system designed to keep people from low-income backgrounds poor, no matter how hard they work.
- It’s not your tenants’ job to pay your mortgage. If you assume the upside from rental income, you also need to assume the downside when that happens.
- "Unlimited time off" really means "limited time off but you have to guess the limit and if you get it wrong resentment will fester"
- As a web engineer I am screaming internallyWhat if the internet... was actually 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 internet? 🎨 Introducing Boosts 2.0 — only in Arc
00:00 - Things I did but don’t do any more... - Say “guys” - Call things “crazy” or “mad” - Call myself “OCD” - Use “master/slave” technical terminology - Use “whitelist/blacklist” I don’t miss any of them and it actually feels good. Words matter!
- Tip on working with yellows, oranges, browns: Use the OKLCH colour space, get it looking nice in (eg) blue, then slide the H property (hue) over to orange/yellow. The colours will look a bit "burnt" but they will look deliberate and clean and will pass accessibility settings.
🟠 It will always be notoriously difficult to work with oranges and browns. - Contractually housing me is the one job they have. Literally they do not exist for any other purpose. I pay them for it.
- Replying to @slimmatt1Key words here - “taken the risk”. You should not extort money from your tenants whenever that risk materialises to cover any losses. That’s predatory.
- Does anyone remember cPanel? I just saw it and got a major nostalgia hit
- In over a year of working at @monzo I have never heard anyone - say bad things about a colleague behind their back - blame a failure on an individual We say “be hard on problems, not people”. It’s easy to be an asshole. The real challenge is acting with kindness and compassion.
