@excid3 @nityeshaga @leewynne @dhh @cursor_ai @warpdotdev Thanks Chris

@nityeshaga @leewynne @excid3 @dhh @cursor_ai @warpdotdev Are you using a managed database? I’m currently hosting my apps with Render with their managed Postgres and that’s the piece that’s held me back from switching to Hatchbox so far.

@FT Simon Kuper hard at work

My politics is that if your plane is cool enough, it gets a blanket exemption from all noise regulations.

@arvidkahl Have you read https://t.co/GvTb8OpUuJ? It’s by the makers of Tailwind and does a good job of outlining simple rules to improve design

I could go on and on about the failings of the Simpsons seasons 3-8... but really I shouldn't need to: the Bayesian priors are pretty damning. 80% of the episodes of the Simpsons have premiered since season 8 ended, but it gets much worse than that. When Mike Reiss, David Mirkin, Bill Oakley, and Josh Weinstein wrote, only 24% of Americans had college degrees and far fewer people used the internet; no one even had Facebook. By contrast, degree holders are now upwards of 37% of the U.S. and everyone uses the internet. What are the odds that the greatest episode could have been in seasons 3-8? The Bayesian priors aren't very favorable.

@danielcranney Great advice! I’d personally add “and use @raycastapp”

@joemasilotti Acquisition is tricky! I have a couple of ideas but they are too long for a tweet so I've DM them to you.

[David Turnbull @_davidturnbull]

@MerlinFDC4 @nhsuhcw That’s great news Merlin, best of luck with your recovery!

@yongfook That's tough, I hope things start to pick up soon!
Have you noticed any changes to your Marketing Site Visit > Free Trial, or Free Trial > Paid conversion rates?

This is the side of selling on Amazon that all the “get rich from FBA” content leaves out. In reality you’re consistently dealing with issues that Amazon themselves cause, like the ridiculous inventory restrictions and piss-poor support Molson is dealing with

[molson 🧠⚙️ @Molson_Hart]

My company paid Amazon ~$4 million dollars in the last 12 months and we've been selling on Amazon for over a decade.

I have no idea what they're doing right now.

And neither do they.

@hammer_mt @tekwpacino Even if it isn't breaking the letter of the law (although I would have assumed it did) it's such a clear breach of morals and ethics. I'm astonished they can justify it to themselves, and like you say, for such a relatively small amount of money too.

@soundslikecanoe Ugh vine 😩 “your free product works exactly as described but not how I want: 3 stars”

Google: AI written copy is garbage and shouldn’t be used for seo purposes.

Also google: we’ve had ai write your ads.

@BDSixsmith It must be satire…. right? 😬

[David Turnbull @_davidturnbull]

@trebienxyz That’s got to be due to some new legal requirement, right? There’s no way they would choose to add it otherwise. So surely all of the exchanges will have to follow suit

@hammer_mt Youtube Kids set to “approved content only” is definitely the way forward. I have noticed a few ads there though recently, although they seem to be advertising youtube kids related content. Still, I was surprised to see them.
