What made this place what it was for that stretch of time is dead — or at least in the throes — but there's a big internet out there. More fragmented, less accelerated, but still filled with people who make it worthwhile.
Happy 2024, friends.
You're amazing.
Seems like as good a time as any to wrap things up here — in my copious spare time over the past year or so I've been determined to make my content self-hosted (or at least self-archived).
If I haven't connected with you on one of those other places yet, I totally want to. My social links are listed on my site, and if you want to drop me a line the info's there too.
@simcha1972@Blackamazon I don’t know what happens in a man’s heart but his history of low level churchy project fundraisers that “succeed” then quietly vanish only to be replaced by the next Important Project That Needs Support speaks to a long pattern of “mild grift evolving into ambitious grift”
There’s two(ish) ways to manage content in big companies.
You either have a central content org that powers every channel.
Or every channel has content as part of it.
This is a hard problem. Here’s how to think about it…
@caitlinmoriah Argument by taxonomy — describe a meta-category that includes a ludicrously wide range of potential things, from the mundane to the horrific ("discussions about the nature of nazism", say). Then ask why someone objects to the metacategory rather than acknowledging any specifics.
@ergo_praxis This is a point I’ve tried to make over and over after living through and then spending many years deconstructing and contemplating the nature of Christian Purity Culture; it is not a return to some lost dignity but a rejection of the idea that one’s self is one’s own.
@ReinH Yeah, UNDERSTANDING what is MVP, and knowing when you've hit MVP (and thus can start getting it into other peoples' hands)… those are very very different than *making a plan that only has enough margin for an MVP*
@SwiftOnSecurity I’ve found it’s a really solid rubber duck for task breakdown. Don’t trust full on generative AI for much beyond that; knowing how it works under the hood makes it feel like a slot machine that comes up cherries 40% of the time; amazing but also, how the hell can i *rely* on it?
