@WindcavePayment So... what are we supposed to do when your site falls over mid-transaction?

Oops indeed.

“so that we have a single process for the entire organization”
is a death toll of software.
This is how large organizations slow themselves.

Unifying process gives every change a wide impact, and that means change must be slow.

OK this isn’t going to happen but in the possible world where it happens, I am laughing my ass off

Its National Ohio Day, as if every day isn’t.

I am somehow surprised when I encounter folks with such strong beliefs in the "Humans-Are-Better-At/Machines-Are-Better-At" approach to designing software. At this point I shouldn't be surprised, but still am. 1/n

@michael_webhead Yup, I liked that one too! Stripe Press has a lot of interesting books. Working in Public, by Nadia Eghbal, was also good. It looked at open source as communities.

I think @AdaptiveCLabs should run a promotion for companies with at least one billion users.

@johncutlefish This is great, thanks for sharing. Reactivity is complacency manifest in agile teams.

I’m In DC for a conference, super happy the @Nationals were in town.

This is not surprising, but it is so incredibly frustrating.

It appears that Joe Biden won 10/33 proposed State State Maps, which are likely to be adopted for the next 4 years.

I'm flying to DC for a conference next week. The last time I flew was in March of 2020, the week before we went fully WFH. I'm a bit nervous, but definitely excited for the conference.

If anyone else is going to be at DSI Autonomous Capabilities, let me know!

A friend in a mastermind group shared the phrase “You are what you believe” on Friday. I’m still thinking about that. It’s silly and trite, but for whatever reason, it struck a chord. #tweet100

I spent some time in the discord for the @AxolittlesNFT launch today. It was my first time doing something like that, and it was intense and fascinating to watch. I'm skeptical about NFTs, but the community is incredibly inviting, dynamic, and supportive.

@mgroves Yeah, I'm looking at doing audio only and a standard RSS feed.

The TOS issue is gnarly. I may just build it for personal use and share it on GitHub.

[Dave Best @DavidEBest]

Would anyone be interested in a tool that turned youtube videos (or any web video) into episodes in a private podcast feed? Something like Instapaper for video?

I've started hacking on something, but it may just be for an audience of 1. :)
