What's amazing to me is that FSD wasn't even close to being able to do this just a few months ago. This is an illustration of the leaps and bounds improvement the FSD rewrite is over what's in my car right now. Imagine where this will be in the next few months. #exponential
Every car drives itself any time the driver isn't paying attention. It's totally bonkers to me that we drive around trusting ourselves and other drivers to stay focused on the road.

In 2020, there was a driving related fatality every ~26 seconds. We *need* autonomous driving. A man in the driver's seat ...
I'm still convinced that my kids (8 and younger) will never need to learn to drive a car. FSD will be *really* good by the end of this year and level-5 autonomy will get regulatory approval in the US in the next 2 years. Maybe sooner.

Hold me to this.
In fact, when my kids are adults I'm not certain they'll even own a car. More on this:

I'm getting a LOT of github issues on my projects/workshops involving npm v7... I'm still on v6. Did v7 just mess up a bunch of stuff or something?
Just realized that v7 has been out for FIVE months. For some reason I thought it was pretty recent 🙃

I guess I should upgrade and see if I can figure out what's going on with it...
Looks like the best way forward is to make sure the package-lock.json version is "1" (generated by npm@6) and the install script should use `--legacy-peer-deps --no-save`

I was already using --legacy-peer-deps, but added --no-save a minute ago: gist.github.com/kentcdodds/bb4…

I wouldn't say this if this were the first time this sort of thing has happened. But this isn't the only thing that makes them terrible. It's one of a list of things.
To be clear, a bad companies can also help a lot of people but that doesn't mean it's not a bad company. It's exploitive of both learners and educators, implements dark patterns, and expects its users to vet the content for thievery.

3 hours... @etrade what the heck.

On hold for three hours. This is ridiculous. Screenshot of phone app showing an ongoing call of being in
@etrade I guess this is normal? reddit.com/r/etrade/comme…
@etrade THEY ANSWERED!!!! 3.5 hours of hold.

We chatted for a bit... And then he had to put me on hold again. 🤦‍♂️

Luckily, the hold music is new and he said if we get disconnected he'll call me right back. I think this journey (of leaving etrade forever) is almost over. 😌

Hey folks, just want to remind you of the 40% off deal going on at TestingJavaScript.com. Here's a thread of what some folks have said about it recently:

Tools I love to build web apps with:
React
React Router (v6)
react-query
React/Cypress @TestingLib
Reach UI
@emotioncss
msw
react-error-boundary
@fbjest
@Cypress_io

And a framework like react-scripts or Gatsby or Next.

And that's pretty much the main/common stuff.
I just use colocation for state management (that includes composition and sometimes context when necessary). Don't need anything else even in "large enterprise apps." react-query manages server cache/state super well 👍
Maybe throw in a styled-system in there for teams/consistency a well.

Ok, so let's talk about this for a second.

First, I apologize for not being more clear in the original question. I did try to clarify in following tweets. I was asking about United States Federal Income Taxes. And it was a bit of a trick question.

(Thread)
Before getting into it, I just want to make it clear that I'm not demonizing Amazon for how many taxes they pay. They do pay all the taxes they're legally required to pay. The problem does not lie in Amazon (or all the other big companies this applies to), but in the US tax code.
Oh, and yes, I acknowledge that these companies are doing stuff with the money they're not giving to the government, but the fact remains that Amazon (and similar companies) are closing other tax-paying businesses which results in overall less tax revenue for the US.
