I’m… leaving school (wOW wHO wOuLD’vE tHoUghT) to focus on learning, sharpening my eng skills, and building in education!
Today is my first day with
@joinender
, where I’ll be spending the next few months building a platform for creative kids ❤️
Gonna be a fun semester ⛏💎 🚀
seems like cal is doing what cal students do best… they procrastinate and win at 4th quarter 🤷♂️
and there was always stanford who thought they had the upper hand…
20! Officially no longer a teenager 😌
Featuring my parents doing their best to celebrate for me from China… Cake looking kind of good, wish I could get a bite 😅
I hope with AI, the entertainment industry can stop copying and pasting random obvious filler code from GitHub and generate their own, realistic-looking hacker scripts so at least they don't ruin the character setting for the genius hackers
Can't believe I haven't really had the courage to say this – recently thinking about potentially teaching at a school in the future – not like being a teacher forever, but maybe something short (half/one year), and experience what it's like to be teaching CS at a public school.
Got quite some msgs over this week for advice on applying to Berkeley CS as we approach the app deadline, so here’s my generic response: As great of a school it is, I struggled with navigating our CS department. It’s really hard for me to recommend the school to anyone. 🧵
As we're wrapping up our own Fellowship this week, we've got some exciting news –
@ExecuteBig

@Replit
Ventures!
Execute Big is focused on creating accessible CS exploration programs for all. More about us:
It's been a pleasure to host

If you need to deploy your website for free and easily, look no further:
in today’s spontaneous purchase decisions:
@lachlanjc
brought me to an
@Allbirds
store and i decided to buy hopefully my most comfortable pair of shoes within 10 minutes
I applied for my second credit card today (Apple) and got an instant offer from Goldman Sachs with a huge "Accept Offer" button. Why can't internship applications be this simple 🥲
Fellow student founders: just because your project is “registered” as a company/nonprofit doesn’t suddenly make it more legit.
The project doesn’t operate by itself because it’s now legal. It’s still up to you to create the product/impact that defines it.
Status doesn’t matter.
This is fking crazy — I think I just somehow convinced my dad that it’s worth (and not “stupid and immature to”) pursuing an idea or a product while in college if I find one that I truly believe in, instead of just going after big techs. Thanks dad, it means a lot to me 🙏
My parents, after 3 years of not understanding what I enjoy doing and what my priorities are, insisted straightforwardly that “you must work at Google to be successful in tech”. Then I got yelled at for “not listening to what they are saying”.
I’m so tired of living at home.
Trying out
@reflectnotes
today and holy shit it is EVERYTHING I wanted in life. Meeting notes, context, suggested backlinks, one-click publishing, browser highlight, daily notes in chronological order, effortless graph building...
Literally bullseye on every strike.
this is a good day to subtly share this —
for the foreseeable future, I will be living in austin, texas 🤠
it’s a well-managed yet still super energetic city, and I… kind of knew from the start that school wasn’t going to keep me for long ✌️
and sorry that tweet below was 🧢
I’ll probably be back this fall in terms of academic progress… probably…
But I’ll still be in berkeley for majority of the semester! Just won’t be able to get into Soda without someone swiping me in, probably 😅
The lovely
@JShermanSteele
keeps texting me in lyrics and sometimes it gets real creepy — so i’m just gonna build an automation that checks against all her texts automatically and alerts me when there’s a pattern for lyrics matches 🙃
i realized today that i can just read books in chinese… my first language… and read like 5x faster and more effectively
the “read in english” mentality started when my parents/teachers asked me to, in order to learn the language. but if i’m reading for the content… 🤯
feeling a little guilty for not building for so long... so I learned next.js last weekend and I started rewriting my website in react! great experience so far :D
WIP
So my parents asked me today why I'm "staying up" after 11pm... and "why can't you just do your work in a normal schedule like getting up at 7 and going to sleep at 9" is this my first day I'm going to college virtually with time difference or something?
WIP: I'm building a clone of Flomo (), a beautiful notetaking app I stumbled across, mostly to brush up on Next.js! It's like journaling by DM'ing yourself on Slack but more organized w/ integrations.
Got the basics working today! Flomo is so pretty ❤️
We finally did it 😤 Notion’s text editor has been completely rebuilt to combine:
- the flexibility of “blocks”
- the ease of a traditional word processor
Rolling out this month on desktop & mobile: SELECT TEXT ACROSS MULTIPLE BLOCKS!
We're still looking for mentors for
@CodeDay
Labs, a virtual internship program for everyone! You can join us as long as you have industry experience in tech, and the time commitment is about 6 hours a week with a very flexible schedule.
Details here:
It's official!🎉
Hackathon organizers (collegiate/high school) — we're launching M3TA: the hackathon for hackathon organizers! Join us to build the tools that you wish you had for the next generation of hackathon organizers.
Pre-flight open now!
It's been a few years since I started using it and I just keep loving
@NotionHQ
more and more. It literally lives with all academic and side projects that I have... This is probably my second Notion appreciation post but I just feel like it again 🤷♂️
As the original founder of this organization, I'm proud to report that we have *not* been creating impact for the past 3 years. Every day, thousands of people are STILL illegally breaking into Roblox and Minecraft accounts. This is unacceptable, and we still have some work to do.
I just want to appreciate Apple for sending my AirPods replacement in 3 separate packages, as well as my dear FedEx delivery person for dropping off my charging case and left earpiece, but somehow decided to take my right earpiece with them.
Thank you all for your service! <3
@jarredsumner
broad take causing splash damages, in current env:
- int'l students need degree to stay in the US (or similar countries)
- underprivileged rely on resources that may be taken away if they stop pursuing edu
being able to make college not matter is a privilege in itself
9 years ago, i was learning to speak english through singing taylor swift songs back in shanghai. my english teacher (thank you Summer!) taught us to sing 😊
“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and “I Knew You Were Trouble” were my first ones!
somebody at starbucks launched a partner integration with delta airlines without staggering the marketing messages
now they crashed both the integration entry (deltastarbucks .com) and Delta’s entire auth system (probably an API got overloaded lol)
2 weeks into this school thing, i’ve been…
- locked in a stairwell in my classroom building for 3 minutes (time-based keycard access)
- locked out of my classroom building for 10 minutes (^)
- locked out of my apartment complex for 5 minutes (gate lost internet?)
what’s next?
Today is July 14, 2 years since that cup of Tall Latte from Starbucks
#16781
at 44 Montgomery St in San Francisco minted me the name "Mimiggie".
Today, dozens of people I know, personally and professionally, refer to me as "Mimiggie". I will treasure this cup of latte forever.
haven’t watched spidey-boy yet (thanks, covid 🥲) and multiverse of madness trailer dropped today… but it’s time to begin my annual rewatch of bbc’s sherlock. i have to get my dose of benedict cumberbatch somehow
the way i realized i’ve been leaving my apartment at 2pm and always saying “good morning” to the front desk lady
oh that’s why she always just silently smiles at me
Happy about proper, user-centric Web Push support!
👍 Proper, strict restrictions— user must initiate the subscription
👍 UserVisibleOnly
👍 Exactly where you’d expect to find controls— both System & Safari settings.
👀 “Keep an eye out for Web Push on iOS and iPadOS in 2023”
In fact, the reason why orgs like

operates under
@hackclub
Bank is to avoid the tedious legal process, so we can focus on what matters. If you want to create an impact NOW — go chat with the crew at .
Go make it happen. Status can come later.
