@PhantomStays If you live in Australia more than 183 days a year then the above won't work

After switching to Rubrik, @Dominos CISO Andrew Albrecht and his team delivered a 13% year-over-year decrease in cyber liability renewals, quantifiable proof that cyber resilience reduces risk in ways insurance underwriters recognize and reward. Learn more 👉 https://t.co/f9Iupu8CSV

@maccas Gordon store looking awful

If you’re not sick to your stomach with what happened in Utah today then you’re seriously fd in the head. Charlie spoke truth. His platform was about having civil conversations with those he didn’t agree with. For that, he was shot dead.

31 years old. Two young kids. Follower of Christ and Husband.

RIP Charlie

It's 2024 and I'm still using white string to clean my teeth.

Why can't we melt plaque via a liquid solution and put dentists out of business?

@steveofmcleod SaaS is hard enough when you know what you're doing.

And the hardest part is finding customers, competing with existing vendors and keeping the lights on... Building is the easiest

[Josh Pigford @Shpigford]

it'd do developers some good to start a business so they could quickly learn how little 30ms click response times or 99.99999% uptime matter.

[Courtenay Farquharson @courtzz]

@arvidkahl @mijustin @arvidkahl respectfully partially disagree. I have built an enterprise startup based on SEO alone - I'm not directly involved in the community but optimise for what they search for.

However being part of the virtual community where they hang out does light a 🔥 under the growth

[Courtenay Farquharson @courtzz]

@steveofmcleod Did you do translations?

Have you heard dis information?

[Tony Abbott @HonTonyAbbott]

In a country with “no hierarchy of descent” and “no privilege of origin” – to use Bob Hawke’s immortal words from our Bicentennial – it’s simply wrong to give just some of us a special say over how our government works based on ancestry. https://t.co/Qq2WZ7AUfh

@wbetiago 1000% agree. All friends HV full-time jobs. I am happy to be fulltime on my business but from home everyday alone is not ideal. Coworking spaces?

@thesamparr @ShaanVP could you get this guy on the pod? https://t.co/wDwI38TJVy

[Courtenay Farquharson @courtzz]

@yongfook @yongfook Im in the enterprise game. They're happy to pay $1000/month if they're asking for meetings etc. So on my pricing, I have an enterprise plan and if you have more than 100 FTE (full time employees) you're on our custom plan (on the right - image below)

We all know @dannypostma is seeing crazy success w/ HeadshotPro ($300k+ since Mar launch)

At first I assumed it was all from AI hype.

Then I heard him mention on the @IndieHackers pod last week that he uses SEO to drive traffic.

So I did some digging to find out how.
