Starting every zoom meeting with: "sorry i was late I got lost in the sauce"
One of my favourite underrated Hex features has got to be query mode.
Instead of returning a dataframe, Hex builds a query you can iteratively work on. As if every CTE had its own table output. Really magical.

Hex has first-class SQL support via SQL cells, each of which is a fully fledged query IDE complete with autocompletion, caching, a Data browser, and more. Projects can have an unlimited number of SQL cells interleaved with Text, Code, Chart, or Input cells, creating an extremely flexible querying environment.

#Twitter really is dying. It was never going to be a major outage that brought it down, but the thousand paper cuts of a ruthless idiot. While there's schadenfreude in watching him fail, a large part of me is sad that I'm losing another site where I met and made so many friends. Feels like the old Livejournal post-Russian-acquisition days.
Old enough now to see several social networks that were important to me die off. Long live the hellsite.
If you're a founder and your company has nothing to do with physical inventory, you should still give it a read. Then ask yourself if you can write a similarly coherent post on the problems that exist today for the people you aim to serve and what your vision is on how their world will be improved.
If you're not able to articulate what problem you're solving and why it matters, then how do you expect your customers to understand why they should ever listen to anything you have to say?
