Appreciate the good people at MaRS for hearing me on the state of the music industry & the importance of artists/creators connecting direct to their communities. @DrropsApp @mitchellbutler
When it comes to putting autonomy back in the hands of artists, @OurLadyPeace's @rainemaida is a one man army. Raine explains how his new project, @DrropsApp is making the music industry a more equitable space for emerging musicians.

Most posts I've seen about ChatGPT understate the immediate threat to jobs. LLMs are already good enough that we should re-think dev bootcamp curriculum. If we want to keep the on-ramp open, we need to teach new devs to build automations and systems-thinking, not HTML/CSS.
We're now well into our 6mo+ of living in Airbnbs. Best tip so far: always book at least a month (e.g., the 1st to the 1st). Some great places are only available monthly, others discount as much as 40%. It's possible to live in some beautiful cities for Toronto rental prices.
Gave Tailwind a shot. Feels a lot like the 2010s when BEM/SMACSS were hip, and it shares some of the same problems (that were solved by CSS pre-processors). The approach is sound, but I think I'll hang out under a rock until someone figures out how to make it legible.
Plenty of surprises in Lisbon, but the most unexpected is the port on the recycling bins for old batteries. They’re all over Alfama. Wish I brought my bag of dead AAs from home I have no idea what to do with 🤷♂️
After a lot of self-tracking, I'm convinced that water impacts productivity more than caffeine. It's not just a health thing. Hitting your 3-4L a few days in a row will totally change your energy levels.
It’s funny how “band-aid solution” is supposed to mean “not enough of a solution.” If a system is self-healing, sometimes all it needs is some temporary attention and protection where it’s breached. Maybe if we stop over-engineering fixes, we'll end up with better systems.

Hope all are having a decent weekend. We're just under two weeks away from our E-commerce event. 3 short of 50 RSVPs. We're going to show you how to build quick e-commerce solutions! Join us. Link in the 📌 tweet!
We're building a new document type for our CMS at @hmncllctv. It's like a rich text editor, but every block gets its own react component and firestore doc. I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching a @firebase app run in two windows.

Proud to say we've just donated to the Black Legal Action Centre, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, and the Nia Centre for the Arts. We have a shared responsibility to make sure every voice is heard.
Really looking forward to watching @Fluxible TV on Thurs. Looks like a great lineup! In anticipation, I've published a post on "Designing Big Interfaces" from a #Fluxible site visit I co-hosted in 2017 #UserExperience medium.com/@mitchellbutler/d…

Today, we're announcing varietalclub.com/. Think of it as a free wine box subscription. Each month we uncover 3 high rated mid-range wines eligible for in store pickup at @LCBO! #toronto #ontario #wine
I've just made the code for mitchellbutler.com/ public on GitHub. Some neat tricks in there including pagination in @gatsbyjs at build time! Check it out: github.com/mitchellbutler/mi…

We don’t often tweet about our clients, but Tiary.com has decided to give 20% of today’s revenues to creative programs for kids. We think that’s pretty great 👍
