Delivered by Tesla
I have an idea for a platform which I believe could distrupt Amazon and create a SuperCharger buying frenzy. If this platform has already been thought of, I would love a chance to join the team. How to disrupt Amazon? Deliver more things better than Amazon. What we have today:If you buy from Amazon, you […]
I don’t want to work for Tesla. Not yet.
If I were to be hired by Tesla today, I would be fucked. Loose ends need to be tied, but beyond that, there is a good chance I would fail. There are many jobs at Tesla I would be terrible at. So finding the right position is key. I can think of a way where […]
Caching Optimization

Old Greensock Animations
I believe I did this Twinkle animation when my daughter was very young some years ago. https://develevation.com/animations/twinkle/ I remember it took me dozens of hours. I dissected an old Python phonics parser and used the depricated UI to create a config file to line up the words with parts of the song. With the config […]
