@bcherny love the new preview functionality approach on desktop. However, on windows, I think each agent session will wait-until the preview pain is both opened and the focused session before it can continue which makes multi-session workflows infeasible right now.

@rajpanjabi Yes!

@NateSilver538 I believe the global vaccine alliance was founded/conceived there

@stevesong $36/mo is impressively cheap. Do you think that's a teaser rate or the type of price it could stay at?

[Jonathan Jackson @jonathanleej]

@DrMBallard @dimagi It was so much to have you on. Thanks for spending your time with us!

@raj_devex @amievaccaro @dimagi Thanks for coming on, it was great and I've already heard from listeners that they loved hearing your perspective.

Great article from @devex on a new initiative we are working at @dimagi https://t.co/u7eqjeeo9V (requires login)

High Impact Growth (https://t.co/LDzonwUTJp) was top 20% in shares, top 15% in follows, and a 5-star rating. I had a ton of fun launching this with co-host @amievaccaro in 2022, and we have a lot of great episodes in 2023. Thank you to our listeners! #spotifywrapped

@paulg @mulagostarr I think the corporate structure is less important than the revenue model and the relationship between impact and profit. Bootstrapping can work (we did it for 20 years) but only if slowly growing revenue aligns to the org's development needs and ability to create impact.

[Jonathan Jackson @jonathanleej]

@mulagostarr @paulg Completely agree. I do not think impact investing meets my criteria for building "just" sustainable business with exponential impact. There is very little permanent capital, but not zero.

[Jonathan Jackson @jonathanleej]

@prestonpesek @paulg @mulagostarr It can be sustainable by being default alive but having no path to good profits or marginally better than break even. That's not a viable investor return but doesn't make you dependent on others once you get to default alive.

[Jonathan Jackson @jonathanleej]

@paulg @mulagostarr In some cases, make it clear to donors or investors that the bet is to break even or make very modest profit but target exponential impact, and only take money if it's aligned. Many SEs try to spin a story around eventually making profit they don't believe and won't achieve.
