I'm not such a narcissist to think that complete strangers would be wooed and amazed at what my desk looks like. It's a table. With stuff on it. And a monitor or three. When resting I use a device called a chair on which I place my bottom. Amazing I know. This was a curiosity when COVID hit and many people shifted to WFH en masse, some for the first time, but the novelty has worn off I'm afraid.

Newsletter is growing faster than ever!

Ryan I love your ways of just letting these people's words slide right off you.

I don't know who hurt them but this guy is legitimately salty because people take pride in having a workspace that makes them happy... Weird flex if you ask me.

You are the original poster but this isn't the original post.

I posted the original top post about the newsletter making 2k (because it's my newsletter) as well as this comment with the link. lol wtf

There are two different definitions of OP. Original poster and Original post. The original poster is the person that made the original post. The parent was hoping that the link would be on the original post and not on a comment which could be under many other threads.

Haha I appreciate it!

Weird flex indeed. Some (most) people are probably more productive in a clean and thought out workspace vs a laptop on a couch sort of deal. I think the spaces and the people behind them sort of proves that.

Have you always sended 2-3 editions a week since the start? How can creatives signup for showing off their workspace? I have a small workspace in an old monastery ;-)

I started with 1 edition per week. I upped it to 2x due to an increasing backlog (may need to up to 3x but TBD on that).

For now you can shoot me a DM here https://twitter.com/rjgilbert or email me at ryangilbert dot co and we can kick things off!

In a ~week or so I will have a better way to welcome submissions :)

I run Payload ( http://payloadspace.com/ ). We are a media company covering the space industry. Congrats on all your success so far. For those reading this, there is a lot of riches in the niches. Just choose a topic that you don't think gets a lot of coverage and start writing about it. Two areas that come to mind: - Geospatial - Nuclear Energy Media/content -- to Ryan's point is being consistent. As long as you do…

It’s always good to have that PMF. So many of us are struggling for it… uh, what is PMF?

A web search failed but I just tried Hacker News search. It means Product Market Fit, I think
