It's easy for managers to get overwhelmed with meetings. I've found a powerful @obsdmd strategy that has super charged my confidence in my decision making. If you follow this process, you'll think clearer, and make better decisions. Here's how:

@danielpatricio I've used Elizabeth Lance for hourly consulting on SRED returns. Fantastic person: https://t.co/Zsl7L5fFDH

Absolutely brutal subscription anti-pattern used by @EducativeInc. You must sign up for auto-renewal to get access, and there is no reminder prior to being charged.

Lesson for us SaaS companies looking to prioritize customer experience vs. counting on folks to forget things.

Kafka excels at handling real-time data streams, offering a reliable, distributed, and fault-tolerant solution.

However, it can take a long time to build even the simplest applications on top of Kafka.

TypeStream makes it easy: 👇

@RadPowerBikes Reached out to Canadian support 6 days ago and never heard from them despite a follow up. Tried the US support email too. Something up this week?

@jysmhn @Shpigford Big fan of ytp-dl. That should work here I would think too.

@McGrath I thought there was more of a chance for McKenny. That's the Reddit echo chamber for ya I guess.

@McGrath I was ready for some innovation in the city. Now we get..

.. more roads?

@JonathanAbrams I love the idea of a "third place" where people can hang out and talk and research ideas. Kind of like salons in the days of old. Libraries are so well positioned for something like that, or coworking spaces. They need to stay relevant.

@davisn Yo your house is CUTE!!!!!! 😍🥰

@rmcastil It's easier to say this to someone you don't know. If it's a "friend" who is asking for help, some may not have the ability to advocate for themselves or the knowledge of what healthy boundaries are. Hope your thread helps someone see if they are taken advantage of.

[Ryan Castillo @rmcastil]

This is a friendly reminder to all my developer friends (and anyone with a skill). I don’t care if you’ve been programming for a year or 20, your skill and experience is valuable. If someone is asking for help with a project SHOULD BE COMPENSATED for this value.

@benaldred Bam! Sold!

Friend from ten years ago: Yo! Long time! Want to grab a beer?
Me: Great to hear from you! I would love that..
<at pub catching up for an hour afterwards...>
Them: Do you still build apps? I have this killer app idea.
Me: *massive internal sigh*
