Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

@nicbarkeragain In the 2010s (big) tech money became good enough that the historically would-be IB/consulting types started switching over.

Different personalities with different motivations vs those who got into tech before

Meta now tracks 200+ data points on employee AI usage.

- High adoption = 300% bonus.

Sat down with @J_Everhart383 to chat about Guides, a new beta release we recently shipped. It's like a CMS for your in-app messages that you can control real time from @knocklabs (powered w/ Elixir and Phoenix Channels).

It's been a lot of fun building it from the ground up, and there's a lot more to come this year 🙂

[Knock @knocklabs]

On the final day of Knock’s launch week, we launched one of our most exciting products since…well, the beginning of launch week.

💬 Guides: a new way to leverage in-product messaging, including banners, paywalls, badges, one-time announcements, and more – without having to compromise on performance, web vitals, and content layout shift.

Here’s what’s you get:
- Complete control over in-product messages, from styling and content, to targeting and placement.
- The ability for anyone to manage, draft, and A/B test in-product messaging in real time.
- Get complete visibility into delivery and engagement metrics with built-in analytics.

🎥 Watch this short interview with Thomas Yu, one of the engineers behind the release to hear what he’s excited to see developers do with it.
