In the services business, you get paid to say yes to everything.
In the product business, you get paid to say no. By convincing the customer that you are not going to give what they want, but what they need.
– Sanveet Singh (CEO of $PAR) on a podcast with Richard Sosa
Everyone needs to feel appreciated. It doesn’t matter what they do, it doesn’t matter who they are, that’s a need in everybody.
– Grace McNiel (Hugh Jackman’s mom)
Hugh Jackman mentioned this quote on a podcast with Tim Ferriss. Highly recommend listening to the podcast. Hugh shared a lot more such wisdom in it. My admiration for Hugh went up a couple more notches after listening to it.
A quick collection of tools you can use to serve/publish content/applications on your local dev to the Interwebs. Some use cases for these types of tools..
List of tools:
Today being Father’s day, some reflections on fatherhood. I think people go through different stages on how they view their dad.
Admiration ( 0 – teen years) : Your dad is a superhero. He can lift you up (just imagine another human being able to lift you up, throw you in the air and then catch you safely :-).. mindblowing!!). He can apparently conjure ice cream at will. You feel safe in his embrace. He is superman!
Respect (teen – having a kid of their own) : By the time you are in your teens, you are probably stronger than your dad :). Your admiration turns to respect. Your dad is the guy that is always their despite not getting anything in return.
Love (After having kids of their own) : You understand what it means to be responsible for another human being!! All that admiration and respect turns to love ❤️

Many a time, you get some data as a CSV file and need to copy some of that data and include it in a SQL statement. For instance one of the rows in the CSV was first name in the format below
employee_id 1234 8765 9808 1235 8734 6723
And you need to put it in a SQL statement as below
SELECT * FROM employee_table WHERE employee_table.employee_id IN (1234, 8765, 9808, 1235, 8734, 6723)
That’s a lot of adding commas (,) at the end of every line. You can do it quickly in Notepad++ (you can do the same in any editor that supports regex) using the regex capability in search and replace using ($) as the search string and $, as the replace string.
Not sure about the origins of this phrase, but came across in a quarterly newsletter from Greenwood Investors
