I haven't had this much fun prototyping since the early @meteorjs days. @algolia + @jekyllrb + @MaterializeCSS + @Netlify = 🚀

Hi friends!!
Thank you for making NLP with Friends what it is. We are seeking new co-organizers to continue this friendly space, as current organizers are graduating (🥳)!
How can you get involved? ⬇️ (1/4)

@DCoolican Will be fascinating to see how these new networks change (or completely destroy) the gatekeeper dynamics of their web2 and/or offline counterparts.

To the beautiful human @CircleCI responsible for the no_output_timeout flag, I ❤️ you.

I don't often shell, but when I do I do it with https://t.co/C4p2tJMO1g.

Great for explaining that complex bash command 5-years-ago-you copy/pasta'd from a Google Search.

Thanks for saving my afternoon Idan Kamara! 🙌

@MatEllis Might find myself in PDX for a month or two this winter. I'll be sure to swing by and say hello. Been WAAAY too long!

@avc The Netflix documentary @kissthegroundoc does an excellent job discussing this exact topic (soil-based carbon capture solutions as a key to the climate crisis). Narrated by @WoodyHarrelson and well worth the 90 minute watch time.

@cloud_nlp @getpostman Other Companies: I’ll talk to our product team about your feedback. I can’t make any promises nor do I have a time estimate on when you might see changes, if any.

@cloud_nlp: Thanks for the feedback. We just pushed the changes live.

🙌

Looking forward to using my upcoming holiday week to explore @Cloudflare Pages and @Cloudflare Workers. As demand for @Grantmakersio continues to grow, I can already see all sorts of cool use cases to help nonprofits find the data they need to thrive.

We'll say it: The best version of *every* consumer product is the one that’s intrinsically social. @DCoolican lays out the emerging & (many!) open opportunities in building what he calls "social+" companies: those that seamlessly layer utility & community. https://t.co/2ZnwKi0Mgh

.@jesse_lecy Great work on the new ProPublica API repo!

For anyone interesting in exploring foundation and nonprofit open data, here's another resource for ya:

Hey @MongoDB - just noticed the expiration dates on my promo codes for Atlas (approx $3k worth) went from the year 2099 to, in some cases, now expired.

What's going on? Internal error or bait-and-switch?

[Chad Kruse @chadkruser]

@derrickreimer So much opportunity in this space! In case it's helpful, here's a half-unfinished deck I threw together nearly 7 years ago. 🙌

To the @NotionHQ developer that changed the default treatment of => from ≥ to ⇒. I love you.

@haroenv @algolia @gridsome Can't wait! Going to be a fun weekend for sure :)

[Chad Kruse @chadkruser]

Congrats to @haroenv and the rest of the team @algolia for the Vue InstantSearch v3 launch!

As @gridsome approaches v1, I think I've found my stack for unlocking enterprise data!

Huge thanks to both teams for all the hard work! 🙏

I'd normally spend a week or more tweaking search algorithms for accuracy.

It took me two cups of coffee this morning to accomplish the same. Thank you @algolia!

Anyone know and (can seriously) recommend a high quality firm advising on strategy and pitch deck preparation for startups/growth companies? Major bonus points if they are in Chicago. Please DM me.

[Chad Kruse @chadkruser]

@KendallStraut If you want to minimize the "scared af" bit AND the crowds, head to the backside and check out Bits & Pieces (5.5 fully bolted). Couple of fun 5.7/5.8 bolted routes around there too. Enjoy! #jealous

[Chad Kruse @chadkruser]

@bpmilne Yep. 10 year ago me would have loved it with my tiny garage in SF.
