Reading Without Limits Or Expectations

What I read in 2025 and what I'm changing for 2026.

"We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness. We are monkeys with money and guns."

Shocker: I believe in quantity over quality in sales and outreach. 📢

I focused on perfect sales pitches, but results didn't mirror my efforts.

Increased outreach led to progress. 🚀

Even with a 1% conversion rate, reaching 100 people gets you a client. 🧮

This applies to job hunting too. Start reaching out now!

PS: Quantity over quality doesn't apply to everything, but it does here.

It’d take about two and a half weeks to binge watch the entirety of The Simpsons,assuming you did nothing else but sleep. But sure, tack on another few seasons? #QuantityOverQuality #SpaceFillerVsSundayNightFootball

If you had a #StarTrek TNG like holodeck as your #IDE for #programming -- what would your setup look like?

Would your #code be organized in graspable #uml class diagrams? Would you stand in the middle of your data flow graph?

When I asked a colleague of mine this question, they said, with conviction: "I think in that scenario, I'd have the holodeck give me _three_ screens."
