If the greatest continuing battle exists in the mind, work on disrupting that first.

Then worry with everything else.

@elonmusk Well, apparently money won’t really be a thing in a handful of years, so…maybe not

@theliamnissan However, an otherwise small church in a small town reached you and affected you to the point of commenting.

@Google @youtubetv I recently had to change my phone number. Trying to login to my account to change payment information for YouTube TV, and I’m stuck on this maddening message. You’re going to verify my NEW phone number by texting my OLD number which doesn’t exist?

How?

I think this is a similar argument (and fear) that occurred when digital cameras, Macromedia, Adobe, CMS and blogs commoditized everything creative. Sure. More people have taken these things in house. But to Jason’s point, the experts learned these tools, used the talent, taste and knowledge they already had, and are still being hired and thriving.

Grandma, with her copy of Photoshop and hobbiest past time with it didn’t take any jobs.

Basecamp and the like has a great opportunity to build customization features through AI to provide bespoke needs for those who need it.

Hopefully the timeline filter feature under “For You” will eventually keep the settings instead of forcing a reset on each new launch of the app.

@Loveof1776 Reads a lot like the steps outlined by Christ himself in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6:9-13 and again in Luke 11:1-4

It’s all for the clicks and attention. If you want less nonsense, stop feeding the publicists.

@jasonfried I recently had to change my ID and phone number on an existing phone. Trying to get everything reconnected (just in most apps, and bank accounts, not including my home) is like starting over from 0. Way too complicated.

Been listening to nothing but orchestral classical music lately. It’s a clear, relaxing signal in an increasingly noisy environment.

[Mark Fusco @markfusco]

To leave someone only an acronym after they pass is a horrible practice. That it’s RIP is even worse. If you can’t write out Rest in Peace or Power, then don’t even bother.

[Mark Fusco @markfusco]

Be desirable.

[Naval @naval]

All of the desirable people - the ones that you actually want to work with, spend time with, or date - won’t apply for the job.

They have to be identified from afar and hunted down.

[Mark Fusco @markfusco]

Good move. Hopefully this will evolve into improving some of the in-person experiences as well.

Congrats to Joe Gebbia on becoming the first Chief Design Officer of the United States. In this newly created role, Joe will oversee the redesign of roughly 26,000 federal web portals, many of which are obsolete, so they better serve social security recipients, veterans, and all citizens.

As a former cofounder of @Airbnb, @jgebbia could have done anything next but decided to volunteer his time and expertise to public service. Thank you Joe.

And thank you to President Trump for creating this new function by executive order and continuing to attract the best talent from the private sector to join his administration. It’s an honor to be part of!

[Mark Fusco @markfusco]

Ready isn’t a decision. It’s a habit.

@jasonfried Intuition is an underrated superpower

[Mark Fusco @markfusco]

His practical empathy will be missed.

Judge Frank Caprio, who went viral for making compassionate decisions in his courtroom, has died at 88 💔🕊️

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

Don't spend your breath on putting out fires. Most eventually burn themselves out.

Spend it blowing into fires. Give fuel to what needs it.

I like watching the show Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted. It follows the chef to remote areas where he’s challenged to hunt and cook using local methods.

The philosophy of each episode: the most delectable food sources come at the highest price of acquisition.

True of most everything.

[Mark Fusco @markfusco]

Hard will choose you inevitably. At what degree is up to you now.

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

Unpopular truth.

[Mark Fusco @markfusco]

Intuition is an under appreciated superpower.

[Mark Fusco @markfusco]

Found this little obsolete relic of history while decluttering yesterday. It appears to be taking a charge. Looking forward to see if it’ll still play.
