  • feel free to wow them with contactless payments

    This is quite dated. Per Forbes, "Nearly 90% of U.S. consumers now use contactless payments, "

    Tip at restaurants where they take your order at the table and bus your table, 15-20% of the total. Absolutely don’t tip at those kiosks at the counter. They’ll beg for a tip because software. You’re absolutely fine to hit skip or custom 0. Don’t normalize that shit.

    It was a good campaign. Maybe it could have been even better, sure, but the amount of Monday night quarterbacking in here is silly.

    The only thing I can question about it, I’m not even sure about.

    The problem wasn’t anything the campaign did. The problem was that “did joe Biden drop out” was trending on Google the day of the election. Tell me how to reach those people.

    Do you think there weren’t enough ads? Not enough door knocking? What exactly, would you have them do?

    (check out modern computing for why!)

    Because when you need to do a process a thousand times, you program it in an actual computer. Then you just have a specific interface for just your process that makes everything simple.

    And the developer really only needs to understand the process for a couple months. Once it’s confirmed working correctly, you’re generally done with that piece of code.






  • It’s important that he disabuses himself of the notion that he’s really good at this if he tried. The trying is the part that’s the challenge. They make the ability to understand part relatively easy. That’s the whole point of college.

    The tip is to change his perspective and stop thinking that he’s above it. It may not be the only tip, but it’s a big one.

    The world is filled with people who used to be brilliant slackers when they were young who did nothing with it.


  • Anyone can theoretically sit down and study for the equivalent of a university degree. Most people don’t have the motivation or discipline for that.

    Half the point of the degree is that it pushes you to get it done. (The other half is verification that you did it.)

    If you still can’t do it, then it isn’t so easy after all, is it? The main challenge isn’t how big your brain is. It’s actually putting in the work.

    If you can’t find enough self-discipline to get through it, you’re going to regret it later.
