Of all the things I’ve tried to improve the quality & amount of sleep I get, the one that works best is just going to sleep earlier It’s just hard when there’s so much to do!

my current disastrous experience with vibe-coding is that it's been really good for creating crud apps and singular pages that contain all necessary context but i've given up on building complex artifacts.

Hi, two things- I posted the same graph on both X as well as here. People here are very anti TSLA / Elon so they've run off with their own narrative. The range in the stock graph makes a little more sense with context- i.e. it's the date I made the decision to liquidate my TSLA holdings.

Ah so that’s a reference to the Krispy Kreme challenge race where you have to run 2.5 miles, eat a dozen donuts, and run 2.5 miles. And that’s the most efficient way to eat them.

YES - you gotta go to the Chocolate Mousse bar - ladurée is overrated, get your macarons in the US - visit a french mcdonalds, it's worth the experience - morning croissants / pain au chocolate is a must - french salted butter is incredible. buy radishes from a farmer's market, eat with butter.

Online shopping has never been able to replace this experience for me: Went into this store, asked where to find the shirt on the right. Walked up stairs, Brenda grabbed the right size for me. We chatted about clothing size disparities, live concerts, comfy pants. 1/2
