I wanna share a quick story…

When I was kid, I would never get headaches.

Never had them.

Really. Up until my 20s, I don't think I ever had a headache before.

My little sister on the other hand…

1/6 My little sister on the other hand? She would get headaches all the time.

When we were on long road trips, when we were in airplanes, if she spent too much time on the computer, etc

I remember seeing her tell our mom one one of our family trips that her head was hurting…

2/6

after that, creating the views for the options menu selections:

further building the 'add friends' view today! 🚀

includes:

gonna start off by knocking out the action of adding someone as a friend, and having the friend requests section fully functional.

that way, I can easily test all the sections with multiple fake accounts

lets see how fast I can build the 'add friends' view tonight...

will include:
- universal search + username
- friend requests
- contacts playing
- people you may know
- contacts to invite
- friends
- requests sent
- invites sent
- mutual friend counts
- smart invite suggestions I'm going to time myself by tracking how many times "When You're Gone" by Shawn Mendes plays before I'm done on 1-song repeat.

it's going to drive me insane if I dont work fast...

need some quick opinions on these possible choices that are super out of context 🤣 which is your favorite shape out of the 3 options above?

I’m super excited to share that I've joined Twitter's 0→1 team to help accelerate new ideas. I’ll be partnering with teams across Twitter to investigate, explore, and build new ways to serve the future of the public conversation. 🧵 I first signed up for Twitter as an awkward brace-faced middle schooler after I started learning how to code. I was born in Miami to Peruvian & Bolivian parents who didn’t know much about the US and my school didn’t teach coding. I joined Twitter hoping to find others like me.

Facebook doesn’t sell user data. That’s not how Facebook makes money.

THREAD... How does Facebook make money? Despite popular belief, FB makes money by keeping identifiable user data to themselves.
