Someday soon twitter will be on this list.#
What's the best piece of advice you ever got?#
Tim Walz is Mr Rogers for adults. Tom Hanks should play him on SNL. #
It's wrong that posts from Timothy Snyder, Joe Trippi and NYT Pitchbot are only available on Twitter. I'd like to help their posts reach a wider audience. I posted a note about this on micro.blog with a place to comment. #
Another practical use for ChatGPT. A super techy service you use decides to require 2FA but reading their instructions you realize the docs were written by someone who hates people like you. Idea! Ask ChatGPT to translate. Out come nice instructions easy to read for people like me. Turns a dismal exercise in frustration to happiness at finding another huge stress- and time-saving application for ChatGPT.#
My version of the NYT#
My version of the NY Times has campaign news too, featuring the cutest kitty on the trail, headed to North Carolina today to support the cute and adorable running mates, Kamala and Tim!#

As I've been updating the course and re-writing all the content and step-by-step refactorings, I've also been able to simplify a few things. It's just like refactoring a piece of code, and it's one of the greatest feelings. I also looked at how much content is in there, and it looks like it will be similar to the Clean Components Toolkit.
