I absolutely love tiny details like these.

No amount of marketing can compete with a gesture this simple

@The_ChatMan @forestservice @Locationscout_ @Inyo_NF @SNVAlliance Good to know. Would be great to learn how something like this is handled. I immediately added an overlay to the map with a special note to take additional care of nature and plants at this spot. I don't have a feature yet to fully hide the geo-position of a spot though.

[Manuel Becker @webdesigner_net]

@The_ChatMan @forestservice @Locationscout_ Hey there. Is it true that this tree is protected like that? If so, I might remove the spot from the platform or at least disable the geo-position because it's not my intention to reveal a position that should be protected like this. Thank you for a short feedback.

@UbisoftSupport Just quickly wanted to say thank you for the GE in Division 1. It's so great to see that such an awesome game is still maintained and I hope Division 3 is released in the next few years. Don't listen to the haters, you are doing great!

Great read about time zones and how crazy they can become.

New era for the sports industry

It's time for folks to really start looking at how spatial computing will change sports for ever.

What used to cost millions and take weeks, can now happen in real-time and cost close to nothing.

Activation might be the most important metric in your business. Here's why:

Once you build a great product, acquisition becomes easier. Word of mouth works its magic.

Then, the problem flips from acquiring users to retaining them.

This is where “The Firsts Problem” comes in.

What is The Firsts Problem? All metrics drop off after a user’s first:

• Their first visit
• Their first session
• Their first day using the product
• Their first month using the product

So you really have to make the best use of these “firsts” as you can. That’s where activation comes into play.

It’s the best way to move retention, because it focuses on the segment of your group that has the biggest drop-off in retention.

“You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”

P.S. Here's how to make a great first impression: https://t.co/iYcBAKn8sK

@damiantarnawsky @Ionicframework @seanfperkins Looks awesome!

@fabpot @symfony @javiereguiluz Thank you very much for the fast feedback, I really appreciate it. All the best to you!

[Manuel Becker @webdesigner_net]

@symfony @javiereguiluz @fabpot Are there any plans to release documentation for the new Scheduler Component in Symfony 6.3? It looks great and I would love to give it a try. Thank you very much, especially for building such an awesome framework.

The way that Jensen Huang runs Nvidia is wild:

40 direct reports, no 1:1s
- Believes that the flattest org is the most empowering one, and that starts with the top layer
- Does not conduct 1:1s - everything happens in a group setting
- Does not give career advice - "None of my management team is coming to me for career advice - they already made it, they're doing great"

No status reports, instead he "stochastically samples the system"
- Doesn't use status updates because he believes they are too refined by the time they get to him. They are not ground truth anymore.
- Instead, anyone in the company can email him their "top five things" with whatever is top of mind, and he will read it
- Estimates he reads 100 of these everyone morning

Everyone has all the context, all the time
- No meetings with just VPs or just Directors - anyone can join and contribute
- "If you have a strategic direction, why tell just one person?"
- "If there is something I don't like, I just say it publicly"
- "I do a lot of reasoning out loud"

No formal planning cycles
- No 5 year plan, no 1 year plan
- Always re-evaluating based on changing business and market conditions (helpful when AI is developing at the pace that it is)

This org is optimized for (1) attracting amazing people, (2) keeping the team as small as it can be, and (3) allowing information to travel as quickly as possible

@elschilling Really impressive work Eduardo!

[Manuel Becker @webdesigner_net]

@brevo_official You did already by forcing me into an upgrade and besides all the possible paying customers I lost for weeks I now have to pay double the price and manually add at least a few customers for the onboarding mails from the last few days because the list adding function is bugged. 🎉

[Manuel Becker @webdesigner_net]

Thank you @brevo_official for offering Automations that need a lot of time invested to get them running and then simply disabling them after a fixed amount of users if you are in the wrong plan without any hint via mail or highly visible on the platform. Worst product exp. 2023.

@chrisdollinger7 @TweetsOfSumit Noch besser fand ich dass sie die Art der Verifizierung geändert haben und man sogar das extra zahlen musste...
