i'm going to need to write a blog post on this topic, but this is a deeply under-appreciated fact about web dev, and one of the reasons native apps tend to feel more robust than web apps. as someone who frequently amtraks through connectivity dead zones, it resonates deeply.

every part of this tweet is a scam. Harvard is a potemkin village for real estate speculation. Linkedin is Myspace for 50yo men who are office instead of emo. Books were invented by the CIA to diversify their dark money portfolio away from cocaine. Audiobooks aren't even real
