Who else: - remembered from the beginning that they'd be prompted to order the Live Premium option and went, "yeah riiiight!" - dodged the MAX charge as often as it popped up 'cause, "this sh*t should be free for me too" - then short-circuited on this page thinking was new UI?

Dear Pete Hesgeth, Thank you for making it totally impossible for anyone to even want to try to dredge up the stoney past of others — long buried in the depths of the sea — for some cheap laughs. #ClassifiedOops #BluntTruth #PuffPuffPastItsSellByDate #NiceTryByKcarson

See you in April for #100DaysOfCode! ....unless I stumble across an irksome read or eat a total waste of calories I just have to post about. #100DaysOfCode #NiceTryByKcarson

Myths busted. We all have something to learn. Age, experience, job title, degrees, types of intelligence, the number of times you might've cheated death, or anything else that suggests otherwise doesn’t change that. #100DaysofTakeAways #UnlearnToGrow

Takeaway #100 ACHIEVING FOCUS WHEN LEARNING TO CODE 1. Make a commitment 2. Create a "Coding First" schedule 3. Make coding a habit with rituals 4. Stay engaged with strategies open.spotify.com/episode/0KUlTLSMaUTExTB6ndnsfL?si=e0g9L_hNSvmIK-cj2B5HCA #100DaysofTakeAways

Takeaway #99 APIs that use XML are best for legacy and enterprise systems, while JSON dominates modern web APIs. #100DaysofTakeAways

Bonus Takeaway Chosen family means finding love where others saw "too much" or "not enough." 🎶 Don't Worry – Love as Laughter open.spotify.com/track/2u8vo5XC9F183M0oQLNeRE?si=442d16a476794691 #100DaysofTakeAways #ChosenFamily #EverydayIsBlackCatAppreciationDay

Takeaway #98 No physical equipment needed to learn and practice networking. GNS3 and Packet Tracer serve as free homelabs. 🔧💻 - Lots o' certified networking professionals. #100DaysofTakeAways

Bonus Takeaway The verdict on Food Network's Magic Cornbread: Don't. More flavorful decadence exists, including plant-based bakes. Not worth veganizing. Rose Levy Beranbaum's cornbreads (and mix-ins!) are still kicking the competition to the curb. #100DaysofTakeAways

Takeaway #97 GenAI Cautionary Tale # ...who knows? If using a crutch while learning to code is a slippery slope, why choose an unreliable crutch? bbc.com/mediacentre/2025/bbc-research-shows-issues-with-answers-from-artificial-intelligence-assistants #100DaysofTakeAways #IveFallenAndICantGetUp
