- I saw #Singularity trending with nearly 2 million tweets and thought "Oh my God. It's happening. The bots are all tweeting in unison on Twitter to signal the global regime change." Then I clicked and it's just some K-Pop singer who released a new song called "Singularity."
- Replying to @ossiaHey BTS Army - when I tweeted this earlier I did not know who V was and had not watched his new video. Honestly I was just relieved the singularity wasn't happening. But I watched his new video and it is amazing. He is not just "some K-pop singer" - he is the real deal.
- "I am where I am today because of freeCodeCamp." I got this LinkedIn DM from a Google Engineer. 🥲
- Congratulations to Nigeria on their 2-0 win! You are by far the most stylish and exciting team in this year's World Cup. Sending a lot of love your way from the USA! Good luck with Tuesday's game against Argentina. You can do this!
- Apparently Parler just got pulled from the Google App store. Over at TheDonald they're teaching each other how to install the PWA version. I thought this exchange was funny.
- Just a friendly reminder that 55% of Americans only have one option for a broadband internet provider. Free market competition doesn't work when there is no competition. That's why we need the 3 basic rules of #NetNeutrality: no blocking, no throttling, no paid prioritization.
- 9 years ago, I sat down at this desk in my closet and built the first version of @freeCodeCamp. Today I'm just one of thousands of developers and teachers contributing to the freeCodeCamp community. It's an honor and a privilege to be among so many thoughtful people. 🏕️
- 🛠️ Build your skills. 👂 Build your reputation. 🌐 Build your network. Your career success depends on all three of these. Don't make the mistake of focusing on only one or two. Think about ways you can build all three at the same time.
- Happy 8th birthday to the global freeCodeCamp community. 🎂🎇 I some big announcements for you all about our progress on: 📊 Python Data Science courses 🧮 Free Associate of Mathematics university degree 💾 Free Bachelor of Computer Science degree To summarize in 1 picture:
- Thank you to the many people who approached me over the past hour about @js_tut and his recent behavior. It is unacceptable. He does not represent the developer community. I have removed all 33 of his articles from freeCodeCamp's publication and revoked his author permissions.
- I'm proud to announce that freeCodeCamp is now one of the 1,000 most-used websites on Earth. A learning website? Where people wrack their brains to get smarter? Popular? Yes. Thanks to all you volunteers and donors who make this possible. This community is just getting started.
