Since I'm on a streak of semi-unpopular management takes:
This is very real. I've seen many high-powered software engineering ICs turn people managers and become completely detached from the tech. Like, you cannot imagine that they were ever truly technical.
If you make the step to management you need to be paranoid this does not happen to you. The good news: AI has made this 100x easier. There is just no reason not to have an agent hacking during that 1:1 about performance scores
Shipped feature flags to https://t.co/M8STIcKDgI so we can selectively give organisations and users access to experimental features. We already have an extremely tight SDLC and feature flags give us even more flexibility to just keep on shipping, validating with our users, iterating, and rolling out.
Spindrift + Query Hunter is the fastest way to discover high-value keywords you already rank for but are underserving. Now it’s also the fastest way to modify your content to better serve them. The Query Hunter Chrome extension has had some serious upgrades.
• Comparison data for queries - how does this result compare to the previous period?
• Upgraded filters to align with the Spindrift dashboard
• Better performance and caching, you’ll get the data you need faster
• Query highlighting - way easier to see find where queries exist already in the page
• Improved AI functionality - directly modify content in your CMS.
So grateful to get to build this and bring it to the masses.

Comparison data now available within https://t.co/zVduNgw2iE! Also showing in the Chrome extension (which has had some juicy upgrades I will be sharing later too).
I’ve been using this for a while myself with the watched queries functionality to easily track the progress of my target queries.
Love getting the chance to flex my technical muscles on, probably, my favourite product. The stream of features that are coming is super exciting.

Thanks @transitive_bs for your Next.JS/Notion starter kit!
Nice to have the great editing experience of Notion for a quick personal site setup.

@fatjoedavies@SunoMusic Genuinely crazy. Song writers are using it to spin their demos into other genres to put them out to a wider range of artists. Very clever use of AI
@fatjoedavies Looks like a mess off companies I've mostly never heard of tbh, funny enough the only integration on that screenshot I have heard of is Slack.
It’s that weird bit in between Christmas and New Year...
In this period (Q5 lol) I like to reflect on the year, and set goals for the next.
It’s mad to look back from Jan and see just how much was achieved, even though the year went by in a flash.
