I made an email-only todo list called Dobby [1] You send your tasks to dobby@dobbymail.com, and it'll send you a todo list every morning. You can reply to complete, postpone etc. T…

For anyone interested in this, I highly recommend the book The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, a psychiatrist who studies PTSD. He writes about this clearly and elegan…

OP here. I’ve been building my startup and recording the whole process on video. Playlist link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFP8wPiIB7kz7pbYCnjIc...

Hi all, solo founder of Shuffleboard here. Basically my philosophy on synchronous meetings is 1) they should happen as little as possible, especially in remote teams 2) when they d…

It's a studio apartment in an old building :)

I do--it slows down the work because of the effort of finding big blocks of time to record, but when I'm recording I know I'm on the clock to hit my goal. Basically I know I need t…

I'm making all these remote meetings suck less with a real-time collaborative idea board. The idea is that you can set up a meeting agenda, get everyone to add ideas, then discuss,…

Thanks! Yeah it's almost an insane amount of video, but I've made it fairly easy to skip to the interesting parts if you want to see them. We'll see how it goes :)

Funny how we say Goldman "is ensnarled in scandal" rather than " perpetuated a vast fraud". Almost makes it sound as if the real news isn't their reprehensible actions , but the fa…

Exactly. The issue isn't that he made a choice, it's that he made a different choice first--not too long ago--and made it public. Sure, walk back a commitment if it's the right thi…

This article equates “exciting work” with “9-5 job at BigCo”. After going independent, my impact has only gotten bigger and my work more interesting and engaging. Write and share w…

> It’s also a great article that reminds me of what I actually like so much about the internet. A guy, who’s passions are almost incomprehensible to me in some ways, who has this i…

Not really convinced firebase is “covering it up”. The official status page breaks down availability by-service with descriptions of each outage and updates with timestamps. https:…

> Sales to your own employees are only going to be a trivial amount of revenue for any reasonable business. So true. But I wonder if locking in a steady “home base” to the overall …

I’m sure you can, I could never figure out how on the device I had

I used an old-style phone a few years back. Some things I had forgotten about: - syncing contacts to the phone is near impossible - typing on t9 is slowwwww - setting up MMS etc is…

Nice. Love stuff like this.
