Last night I had a dream I was pitching some kind of Slow Wardrobe startup that used AI to alert you of listings for secondhand vintage clothing matching your specifications But woke up realizing the margins and energy costs would be untenable

This is such a hard thing to balance: notifications for feature discoverability In-app is common but likely to be disruptive, click to close vs. read and learn Emails (1-2x / qtr) perform great but people remain unaware of new things Content on social can help bridge the gap

Chris is really great on stage, no surprise. The end of his keynote had me slappin' my knees laughing, and I basically spent his whole Developer Track talk taking photos of the slides on my phone because there were so many good gems about experience design

[controversial, open to being proven wrong] *Please* if you've been laid off in tech, don't make that the constant theme of your posts and content 🙏 You will attract people to commiserate but it could hurt your job hunt. Unfair but REAL Look busy, stay positive & network

Not everything in Growth is a true Experiment with a clear hypothesis to test. Sometimes you just need to: > Run the campaign > Buy the ads > Manage the program > Sponsor the event and report the numbers. This is called Marketing and it's okay.

Part of my self-care plan for this week is deleting ✖️ from my phone so I won't be tempted to doom scroll the news I'll still be popping over here to check-in, but only from my laptop, mostly for work things 🦋 feels way more fun right now

Netlify's new Free plan is cool if you want a guarantee that you won't end up with a surprise bill if somebody posts your blog on HackerNews or something Instead of scaling up automatically and billing you for the spike, you have to click upgrade if you want to keep your site up
