Last week, I started teaching #ElixirLang. First week I gave a presentation about the language, its history, its features and its community.
Yesterday I started teaching the language.

And there we go again. Global investors buy Brazil after they get news that the Brazil's would-be Pinochet had a good week in the polls.

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. Historically, this is not really surprising. Bolsonaro might best be understood as a full-throated defender of the rabidly anti-communist dictatorships of the 20th century, which came to power with the support of the investor class

It's pretty hard to set up a dictatorship without the support of capital. The other way to do it, like if we think of Russia or China, is to really go to war with them, and that usually means mass organizations and lots of struggle. Most dictatorships were investor-approved

There are valid reasons not to build your project on Ethereum, but it's a pretty short list. "Because scaling" is not one of them. I'm increasingly skeptical of projects that decide to build their own chain. It's far harder than most people think. (1/4)

There's the technical challenge, but user adoption is even harder: getting people to transact on your chain, or run a node, is already harder than getting them to download your crummy mobile app, and we all know how well that's going for consumer tech startups. (2/4)

There's one more aspect, often overlooked: finding product-market fit. You can't find product-market fit in a market that doesn't exist yet. The Ethereum marketplace is young, and relatively small, but it's vibrant and growing. Good luck bootstrapping tech, community, AND market.

You have a nifty idea. That's great, so does everyone else. Show me a working prototype. Show me at least some traction, some users, some revenue. You can't do that today without Ethereum. Being lean in Web3 means building on Ethereum, and will for some time. (fin)

I've joined the @women_make_ challenge to create and ship the @AwsNewbies "Intro to #AWS" 💨 course in 2 weeks! (I'll be on vacation for 2 weeks this month.) It's a stretch but any progress is good progress 💪 #WomenMake

This is my #WomenMake project! I've managed to snag product #100! 💃

Didn't have a moment to post Day 2 Update for #WomenMake, so here it is:

A thread on the Good Friday Agreement. I mean, everyone's talking about it after all. Is it really in danger? Let's look at that...

The Good Friday Agreement is made up of two parts – the Multi-party agreement between most of the political parties (but not the DUP) and the British-Irish Agreement between the two governments.

This second Agreement is the international treaty between sovereign states, registered with the UN. The British-Irish Agreement’s function is to uphold the multi-party agreement. So changing the treaty would logically require a new multi-party agreement.

The issue of membership of the EU is a reserved matter for Westminster, consequently any impact of withdrawal from the EU is a matter to be dealt with also by Westminster and is not within the legislative gift of devolved administrations in Stormont, Holyrood or the Senedd.

The Good Friday Agreement was premised on EU membership by both Britain and Ireland although it could not bind either country to maintaining that membership, nor (as a court has decided) could it be used to prevent the triggering of Article 50.

RANI GAIDINLIU:THE LESSER KNOWN FREEDOM FIGHTER

Rani Gaidinliu joined the freedom struggle at 13 &was sentenced to life imprisonment at 16."We r free people—the White should not rule over us.”Thus calling out to her Zeliangrong tribesmen was the voice of 13yr-old Rani Gaidinliu.

She joined the freedom struggle in the present-day Northeast India. Today, her struggle is lost in history as most of her countrymen wouldn’t even have heard her name. B'coz our history textbooks tell us that only Mahatma Gandhi &Pandit Nehru got India its Independence.

At 16 yrs of age, this valiant girl was sentenced to life imprisonment for leading a movement to drive out the colonial rulers from Manipur and Nagaland. Nevertheless, she was released in 1947 after India’s independence and was given the title ,"Rani of Nagas".

EARLY LIFE AND HERAKA MOVEMENT

Gaidinliu belonged to the Rongmei clan of the Zeliangrong tribe in the Tamenglong district of western Manipur. Born on January 26, 1915, she was fifth among eight children.

Her native village was Nungkao, which is present day Tamenglong distt. Brought up in a specially backward region,she couldn't receive any formal education. However,this didn't stop her from joining the freedom struggle. At the age of 10 she came under the influence of her cousin.

This is my son, Sam. He’s 5. And today he learned how shitty and harmful #ToxicMasculinity is. My rage meter is spiking right now so excuse me if this is a little raw but there are some things I want to say about BS #gender norms (a thread)

Sam is my middle child & he’s a terror. A “boy’s boy” as so many (not me) would say. He’s rough and tumble, he’s loud, he’s always dirty, loves trucks, plays sports and knee drops me from the couch. But he also loves a lot of “girl” things.

Sam has a collection of purses because he likes to carry things around. And he also loves to have his nails painted bright colors because he thinks they “look beautiful.” And he’s right – they are beautiful…

So he proudly wore his red nail polish to kindergarten this morning because Sam has absolutely no concept of nail polish only being for girls or reason to think anyone would possibly have a problem with beautiful nails.

But his classmates did have a problem. A big one. Sam was ridiculed for being a boy with nail polish. They called him names and told him to take it off. This lasted the entire day.

My dad led an organization of over 300,000 employees.

When I took on my biggest marketing & events team to date (35 employees) I asked him how the *heck* he did it. Here's what he said and what helped me every day. 🧵

Remember you're leading all the employees under you, but you're not *managing* them all. You're managing your direct reports, which should be 5-7 individuals max. Focus on them.

When you interact with the employees you don't manage directly, get to know them as people first, that'll be the most valuable information in leading them. Remembering everything you learn about them is hard, but doing so will make you a superhero.

If you're not going to empower the managers under you, why do you have them? If you see room for improvement, let the manager know and let them make the change on their teams and come to you with questions/concerns. This will save you SO much time.

If you're the smartest person in any room - you're doing it wrong. As a leader, your job is bringing together the best people to get the job done - your skillset is identifying those people, not being one of them.
