Just eat the frog and learn Terraform or Cloud formation.
- oblio 6y ago> eat the frog Eat the frog? Which language is that? The expression sounds really cool! Most of the time in English I've encountered "bite the bullet".
- solarist 6y agoHave you heard of Mark Twain by any chance? People say he used to write in English.
- oblio 6y agoCool! I didn't know it was an expression coined (or made popular?) by him. And I actually read many of Mark Twain's works in Romanian, so, oh well... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- tholford 6y ago"If you need to eat a frog, do it in the morning; if you need to eat two, start with the bigger one" (paraphrased)
- yahelc 6y agoThis unnecessary condescension is made all the funnier by the fact that the quote the expression alludes to wasn't actually written by Mark Twain, but in all likelihood by a French writer named Nicolas Chamfort. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/04/03/eat-frog/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/04/03/eat-frog/
- solarist 6y ago(attempt to) being sarcastic ain't necessarily condescending. my take from the unedited parent comment was that it was patronizing towards the grandparent ("in english it is" so and so), but anyway thanks for clarification.
