One thing I've discovered is that I can't sit in front of the computer and write code all day. Actually scheduling time for meetings and talking with people seems like a distraction but realistically I can only code up to 4 hours

Its fascinating. I'd never think the most important person in the world would have their tweets hidden. I'm quite impressed with how they did it. Though if I really liked Trump I could feel hard done by. If you haven't see it

I dont understand why other online bookshops can't compete on price with Amazon. How hard can it be? Does Amazon have a huge cost advantage in deliveries now? I looked at bookshop.org but most books were not available or were $10-20 mo

Actually can we stop writing tutorials period. When you search for something I always get a bunch of old tutorials by people who are learning something and writing as they learn. If the official docs aren't great, contribute to them.
