Good morning fedi friends! Got another question for ya!

My 18yo cousin is considering a change of major - from HR to #Biology.

Does anyone have a degree in #bio or similar? If so, three questions!

1) What career did you ultimately end up in?

2) Did you need to continue past undergrad in order to get to that career?

3) If you could redo college, would you get a bio degree again? If not, what would you recommend for someone with a passion for science but a dislike of chemistry?

Thanks y'all! If she was leaning toward the "T" in STEM I could be more help but "S" is more outside my prevue :blobfoxheartcute:

You should learn to be resourceful.

It saved me from being #homeless again today. If I wasn't well versed in how to protect myself, and use what is available to me, I would have been much worse off.

As sad as it is, the #usa is absolutely brutal to you if you suddenly find yourself in a crisis.

You need to be ready, and know what options are available to you. If you don't and a sudden crisis happens, you'll suffer much more.

Especially with how the US is going now.

“I’m delighted to announce #PeterThiel is joining #YC as one of the (now 10!) part-time partners.

In addition to founding #PayPal and #Palantir and being the first investor in #Facebook, Peter has been involved with many of the most important #technology companies of the last 15 years, both personally and through #FoundersFund, and the founders of those companies will generally tell you he has been their best source of #strategic #advice.” — Sam Altman, 2015.

Compare the sign on blog post (Altman) to the tweet (pg as shown).

When you take capital from #Thiel, then only realise a decade later it wasn’t a good idea. At the time when this was announced I thought, “Oh shit #PG, don’t do it”. Then history.

It’s the lure of capital. You get covered in the deeds of these shitty founders (Thiel) and you have to back track, knowing it was blood money.

Repair and Remain: How to do the slow, hard, good work of staying put by Kurt Armstrong

Let’s say time comes to gut and renovate your bathroom: I can help you with that—demolition, framing, reworking the plumbing, moving some electrical, installing some mould-resistant drywall, maybe some nice tile for the floor and some classic glazed ceramic three-by-six subway tile for the tub surround. Should take a month or two, depending on what all’s involved. And as for you, hey, for the sake of your wife and kids, I think you better quit the flurry of furtive late-night texts to the sexy young co-worker and cut back a bit on your recreational drinking because wine is a mocker, so goes the proverb, as if those Facebook posts of you at the bar last week weren’t proof enough.

Repair and remain. Work with what you’ve got. Sit still for a moment, take stock, make some changes. Big changes, if necessary.

The 4 Types of Luck by Sahil Bloom [Shared]

The 4 Types of Luck
In 1978, a neurologist named Dr. James Austin published a book entitled Chase, Chance, & Creativity: The Lucky Art of Novelty.

In it, Dr. Austin proposed that there are four types of luck:

Blind Luck
Luck from Motion
Luck from Awareness
Luck from Uniqueness
Here's how to think about each type:

Start with the Jar: How to understand your capacity via Turtle’s Pace [Shared]

Optimism is dangerous, especially when it comes to planning our goals. If we underestimate the effort of an endeavor, we set ourselves up for failure. When we fail to meet our expectations, we can succumb to cynicism.
We must learn how much we can process to avoid the hope trap.

Domain, Duration, and Dimension

Imagine you have thousands of marbles to carry on a plane, and airport security released a new regulation that limits an individual to one jarful. If you don’t know the jar's capacity, you won’t know how many marbles you can bring and could risk losing your precious orbs!

The Best Programmers I Know
endler.dev/2025/best-programme

"I have met a lot of developers in my life. Lately, I asked myself: “What does it take to be one of the best? What do they all have in common?”

In the hope that this will be an inspiration to someone out there, I wrote down the traits I observed in the most exceptional people in our craft. I wish I had that list when I was starting out. Had I followed this path, it would have saved me a lot of time."
