I haven't posted much singing content yet because I don't feel that I'm *quite* yet to the point where it'd be enjoyable to listen to (and I usually sing to copyrighted stuff), but HOLY CRAP: the difference just 16 months of lessons and daily practice has made is huge.
I used to believe that singing was one of those talents that you're either born with or not (and I also believed that I was not). Taking lessons has convinced me otherwise - like most other things, it's a learn-able skill that nearly anyone can make a ton of progress in.
There are certainly people who have more natural talent and may reach a higher peak in their abilities, but we can all make big improvements. I can feel my throat doing things now that it was physically incapable of doing when I started. My range is also much wider (D2-A#5)
So if you've ever wanted to learn how to sing, go for it! Practice every day, record yourself, and get feedback from places like r/singing. And if you can afford a coach, I think it's worth the investment - I've found that it's a skill where expert feedback is VERY useful.

Today I'm going to share all my tricks for making thumbnails FASTER:
- How to get hundreds of high-quality poses of yourself
- How to create a consistent look
- A sprinkle of thumbnail strategy (especially in the last tweet)
Here's the main hack right up front:
I have a gallery with tons of poses I took over a single session.
Nearly any emotion or reaction I'd want to use in a thumbnail is in it.
Here's how to make your own:
Set up a green screen if you can.
This makes cutting yourself out from the background easier.
If you can't, try to shoot against a flat background.
I started learning how to code only 10 months ago.
I am NOT a very talented coder. But with the help of:
- AI tools
- Automation platforms
- No-code tools
...I can build nearly anything I want.
Here are the exact tools I used to learn how to code (all are free):
TL;DR version:
(For context, I chose to learn JavaScript.)
- JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures by @freeCodeCamp (start here)
- The Modern JavaScript Tutorial by @iliakan
- That Weird JavaScript Course by @fireship_dev
- The MDN Web Docs by @MozDevNet
- ChatGPT 😉
Best place to start:
JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures by @freeCodeCamp
I started with this course. It goes from the absolute basics all the way to very advanced problems.
Best of all, each lesson is interactive and makes you write code.
