@pankaj_pwo Hey Pankaj, how was your experience using Gravatar?
Have you seen that we have a new API for it? https://t.co/Nl1j02SLyt (tutorial: https://t.co/0gO1ylpUOL) - Really curious what you think about it. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

@schiefewelt Have you used Chat GPT recently?
Your chat icon there, Gravatar still going strong ;)

There is also a recently fully revamped profile editor https://t.co/qEJfbXLGdq and more new things are coming.

Probably the best thing you'll see today.

In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.

Failure is learning. From kindergarten to Nobel Prize, the iterative loop of trial and error creates gradual human progress.

Enter machine learning:
* zero emotional hesitation to fail
* systematic embrace of what worked and what didn't

"What's the motivation for people doing open source? It's fun. If you're a coder ... it is so cool to know that code you wrote is running billions of times a day, all around the world."

Great to talk with @photomatt

Excited for Europe’s startups, best thing since Seedcamp! -> @pluralplatform

1/When we started @TeleportInc with @keskkyla & @balajis back in 2014, we were at Sand Hill Road.

Like physically. Not a metaphor.

Eventually the team shifted towards Europe, but that round would not have happened here from scratch.

I joined @automattic 11.5 years ago.

During that time, we grew from 70 to 2,000 people.

I am proud of building products with such a team and glad to see Automattic recognized as a most loved workplace.

What the Zettelkasten was for Niklas Luhmann is the blog for Cory @doctorow.

A great thread about how blogging is the foundation behind his great threads and essays.

Open source is an infinite game.

Closed source is a finite game.

Have been thinking a lot this week about the topic of funding public goods in the future.
