The mindset of a maker is the same as that of a parent: you always feel like you're not doing enough and hope the world understands

@tferriss Enthusiastic 10 — I was waiting for something like this until it came out!

@zebriez others have posted it as well, but I'd +1 Founding Sales by @Kazanjy

@petergyang Last time I was here, I didn't see this in the comments. But world's back guru is Dr. Stuart McGill and he has a book specifically meant to help diagnose the (physical) components of back pain:

@DanGrover this was a huge unlock at my WeWork -- drastically improved my co-working experience

@immad If you don't already use one, pill boxes do help with organization and adherence. Wish you could just drink a custom smoothie though :P

[Bilal Aijazi @bmajz]

@collinmathilde Congrats! You set a very high bar in terms of customer obsession and responsiveness and I'm sure he's going to help raise it further

[Bilal Aijazi @bmajz]

@jaltma Thinking through this from the perspective of the shift from on-prem -> cloud a decade ago, what new workflows opened up? My take: integrations. Things like Mulesoft and Zapier, and to some degree Slack just weren't possible in the on-prem world.

@jturow @altcap Thanks for the tip -- didn't know about Cardia Vision!

@calbucci Huge blow

[Bilal Aijazi @bmajz]

@awwstn I still remember being an early @FrontHQ customer and getting a personal response from @collinmathilde that I didn't believe was her until she confirmed it. Set the example for how we do support at @polly_ai to this day.

[Bilal Aijazi @bmajz]

@ashevat @Superhuman does this really well now!

[Bilal Aijazi @bmajz]

@thogge indeed. the fitness pivot on that was brilliant and fast

@devangt OK I gotta come over and try it out! Maybe this is our excuse

[Bilal Aijazi @bmajz]

I love seeing when people change their approach from an in-the-moment response to having had some time to think about it. It's a really modality struggle for folks and I think it helps us all human better, which is ultimately what this whole thing is about. Kudos @jasonfried!

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

A few hours ago I posted something about a company founder bragging about being able to see a customer's behavior because they had access to that customers account.

I just took it down.

Upon reflection, I felt bad about posting that. I should have reached out to him directly on LinkedIn where the initial claim originated.

Maybe he meant it differently and voiced it poorly. Or maybe he meant exactly what he said. Regardless, I owe him the opportunity to answer prior to me answering for him.

That's how I'd want to be treated if I was in that situation. A calm chance to clarify instead of the instant public complaint in the public square.

[Bilal Aijazi @bmajz]

@amix3k One issue I noticed during this downtime: I actually couldn't kill the Mac app when the server couldn't connect. That feels like a client optimization that could easily be made instead of coupling so tightly to a "ghost" server.

[Bilal Aijazi @bmajz]

@drigotti yours is much more useful

[Bilal Aijazi @bmajz]

@drigotti It's a bit more nuanced than this -- feel free to send me a DM if you're actually seriously considering this. I'm a wifi hobbyist 🙄

[Bilal Aijazi @bmajz]

The limit will be the final router's wifi, so it would be 200 in this case. On Unifi devices, you can also set up things like bandwidth limits for individual devices so nobody can "hog" the bandwidth that you have available. Great for enabling email or texting without letting streamers kill things for everyone.
