Literally decided on this like an hour ago as a forcing function for getting it all down for @bloomtech students.
@bloomtech students - do not buy this. Will get to you another way.
I set price intentionally obnoxiously high ($50). I know if I set at $5-10 I would get a whole lot of people who don’t need the info and don’t actually care about the contents. Don’t need those yet :)
The goal of this is to get the stuff in my head out onto paper as quickly/efficiently and high quality as possible.
Please send me any resources or anything you’ve read that talks about how to do that well.

The problem of cancel culture isn’t that people lose their jobs if they say something that crosses a line.
It’s that people become unwilling to say innocuous and reasonable things for fear of that happening.
That chilling effect eliminates entire topics of conversation.
I do think the power that Twitter mobs have is overstated 99% of the time.
But if that 1% of the time your life is flipped upside down and you no longer have a career, the downside risk of tweeting something controversial outweighs the upside by… a lot.
I’ve intentionally structured things in my life so that I know I’ll be fine no matter what Twitter mobs may try to do, and there’s a meaningful psychological shift when you’re not living in fear of potential mobs anymore.
Trying to watch football with neighbors to be friendly.
This game is 90% breaks. This does not work for my brain.
I grew up playing soccer and I totally get how people could be bored watching the tactical part of that game, but this is literally 50/50 game/commercial breaks
This is just an excuse to turn your brain off and drink beer isn’t it
People often use Lambda School as a poster child for using nocode tools; we used (and use) a lot, which lets everyone (including nontechnical ppl) ship very quickly. Great!
BUT
If nocode changes affect your data model, you’re creating outrageous amounts of technical debt.
For example, if someone can notice data they’re missing and are able to quickly add columns to a base, that’s awesome. But without understanding the technical implications of doing so everything can break.
There’s not really a safeguard against that.
“But you can just move over what you’re doing to a normal database whenever you want.” Well, kind of. As long as
1. You can freeze all of the data while you migrate (unlikely)
