@JamesIvings Hey! Maybe try contacting Fab cafe in Shibuya. They have an upstairs space that can be rented

Btw the only reason In-N-Out Burger does brief pop-up events once every few years in Japan and other countries is to maintain their trademark rights in those markets, rather than with the intention of actually operating permanent restaurants there.

In 5 years I think we'll enter an era in Japan's email etiquette, where it's more polite to write with slight grammatical mistakes than with no mistakes, because no mistakes will make it seem like you used AI.

[Shoin Wolfe🗼 @shoinwolfe]

I think 90% of my ChatGPT use is to write formal Japanese emails. And honestly, that alone is worth paying for ChatGPT Plus.

@nateberkopec Tell us the best ones in your opinion 👀👀

For good J-stocks insight, follow my friend's substack KonichiValue.

It's way better than my blog, Sayonara Savings

The worst part about Japan’s over-tourism and aging population is that there are so many people at subway stations that are just IN THE WAY. ALL THE TIME. OH. MY. GOD.

I’m back in the US, and the biggest culture shock is discovering that TLC now airs a reality show featuring built-in reaction videos from stars of their OTHER reality TV shows.

It’s like a trash TV multiverse, and I’m here for it.

The automation in Japan is getting too wild.

[Shoin Wolfe🗼 @shoinwolfe]

@mrjeffu Reminds me of that school yard built on top of a bridge over the highway, between Shibuya and Roppongi.

The school still has ownership of that area of land, and is allowing the highway to pass through it for free.

@LertJr It’s slower but better. The best part is you can feed it context so the translation quality rises. Haven’t tried the latest Gemini

@nateberkopec The only I time I ever prompt “add more fluff and pleasantries”

[Shoin Wolfe🗼 @shoinwolfe]

@airkatakana I mean I’m a native Japanese speaker and it’s better than me. I do have to fix small parts though but it gets ‘politeness’ super right.

[Shoin Wolfe🗼 @shoinwolfe]

There's so much room for UX improvements on AB testing platforms.
For example, if the results are not significant, then absolutely do not show the current uplift amount in green.
It may seem small, but so many teams I've worked with take this as "Green = Good so release"

[Shoin Wolfe🗼 @shoinwolfe]

What a glorious day to be alive

[Shoin Wolfe🗼 @shoinwolfe]

@mrkirkland It’s true, even the smallest nothing stations have good restaurants around

[Shoin Wolfe🗼 @shoinwolfe]

Literally the same. I can’t even see the map of Tokyo, just pins.

[Kurumi Mori @rumireports]

when friends ask if I know a good place to eat in #Tokyo

[Shoin Wolfe🗼 @shoinwolfe]

@philgpearson I try to go to a new well-rated place every single day for lunch.

You sir seem to actually value your time.
