It’s so hard not to be this person on LinkedIn (as someone who actually uses LinkedIn) when someone reaches out about automating my repetitive tasks
If you are wondering how to get into good api design and software architecture/design, reading The Design of Everyday Things is a great place to start
I’m sure there is objectivity in the “just rip” and I know Peter isn’t pooping on the Microsoft Teams work but I wish we would spend more time celebrating accomplishments.
What @samlambert will also find out is resistance training and strength training feels just as good.
And the algorithm overlords decided to show me who your coach should be
The great @KarlSchudt
Time for another Durable Objects analogy:
Durable Objects are like hosting the shared object within a javascript slice(), with persistence and real-time subscriptions.
Was thinking about this earlier. The vast majority of responses to these types of situations are:
1. From those who have built high scale things -> "hugops"
2. From customers -> "oh crap...wait its good guys they are taking care of us while they figure this out"
3. From non customers -> "can you freaking believe the audacity to build a crap product. You should have _____"
The people who are loudest about what should've happened have rarely built something that would even be worth attacking.
And everyone of them who reads this will think they are the "rare" person in the sentence before this.
Reading Unreasonably Hospitality today. Brings a level of hope and longing to see this way of treating people put into practice
Also, @existentializzm this is what I was referring to!
Why do we as couples converse like this with one another:
guy
⬇️
girl➡️ words ⬅️girl
⬆️
guy
Everyone just gets louder and louder.
Then add kids 😂
This is exciting. The next elevation of this I’m excited to see is when company’s adopt a palantir model.
A deployment specialist and an FDE.
Your company probably already has both. Great people people and great builders.
Let the people people bring the unreasonable hospitality to customers and part of that deep level of care is in how the people person translates needs, pains, wants, desires to the FDE
2 things:
1. Better time than ever for folks to learn @alexhillman and the 30x500 sales safari method
2. I’m proud of myself for how I used “people people”. Please congratulate
Now more than ever, in a deeply ironic way, with AI you have to get to know people/you must start to understand people.
Those who have always had to outsource to capability can now create something that many of us developers would probably view as slop
To them it is gold
They just might build their own. They just might want to maintain it because they did it right, either on purpose or accident.
But they also may start and realize it will be a headache, ie another decision to make.
They also may have foresight for themselves and choose not to
The phrase: "in advanced stages of development" is a trip. Sounds like it is close to launching and will has been battle tested when in reality it is just getting close to a potential alpha or beta.
Just say, "we are working hard to get the alpha ready and start testing workloads."
Or just say something when it is actually read. That is an option as well.
My first thought is getting into the creator network with @kit and @nathanbarry
Second is connecting with communities of specialists like @EngagedMarriage's 7 Figure Leap
Third is knowing that if it has seemed impossible so far you likely need a proxy to bring you incredible people or point out those who are expert
Lastly, those who are candid about what they are good at and not good at are who you want. Sure they can do more than just the 'zone of genius' work but if anything build collaborations between experts
@mattragland offered to help and you should take him up on this @jasonfried
My similar example was my dad. My dad was just always serving and helping people. He never asked for anything in return.
My first job out of college working for a non profit required me to fundraise my salary.
When I was in my home town fundraising 95% of people I talked to just said yes to my ask of them for whatever monthly amount I asked for because of my dad.
There is also a larger lesson I have learned and it can kind of be summed up in the title of a sales book, The Go Giver
Be a giver and as far as you can, as long as you are not in desperate need because it is hard to give anything in those times, separate any sort of desire for 'receiving' when you give. I know that sounds obvious.
new post: collecting favours
sunilpai.dev/posts/collectin…
a post on the idea of "reputation". tried writing it a few times as an abstract thing and I hated it, so instead I just wrote about my dad.
