Eric I don't know if this was intentional but I am often discouraged when I have to write messy exploratory code.
I think it's based on live-coding sessions or coding interviews (I haven't had too many of those) I feel like I have to defend every decision I make or I'm a bad developer.
This has made me try to write the best most performant code possible.
Thank you for reminder that process doesn't have to be pristine and sometimes worrying about the wrong things can make it harder to get things right.

Responding to Julius' post on their challenges with visa policies
Imagine preparing for months to speak at a prestigious conference or to collaborate on a groundbreaking project abroad, only to have your visa application rejected.
I’ve been following Julius’ work not just in the BPD community.
America’s policies feel greedy. We talk about the expanding the American dream around the world. When people want to come over for a couple weeks to America to share skills and opportunities that make both parties better, we're like but you could give up all your progress in becoming a recognized leader in your own community and country to become an outlaw???
It makes no sense and even when we write letters and do everything we can to show how beneficial it would be to have them with us, it doesn't matter.
At the end of the day, those folks will share their knowledge with those in Europe and (LISTEN UP POLITICIANS) our political adversaries like China. I know this because I'm already being asked to write letters of recommendations for people in Africa to learn and share their leadership skills in those areas already.
When we feel like we're being left behind on the global stage, this will be the reason why.

Two entries into my zshrc to make editing my two most edited config files easier on me.
``` " Quickly open my zshrc alias zshrc="nvim ~/.zshrc"
" Quickly Open my vimrc ~NOTE: ~/.config/nvim/init.vim is the default location for neovim (nvim)
" The default path for your .vimrc is ~/.vimrc
alias vimrc="nvim ~/.config/nvim/init.vim" ```

These notes about how to improve in Hearthstone probably apply in other areas of life:
- Don't play distracted
- Order
- Think about what you did wrong each game (It will help in the future)

A new idea for a podcast I'm thinking of of is the AntiProductivity Show (Working Title) where I talk with folks that play with Productivity tools to discover the weaknesses in their systems. It's like a productivity show but honest.

Creating Rules around your life isn't a way to automate your life or make it mundane. In fact it's a way to ensure that you provide yourself the power and time to make the decisions you both want to do and need to do.
It's a way to prevent others (and yourself) from interfering with your plans.
