A great post on why just being motivated isn’t enough to be productive, we need to be prepared:
Motivation by itself gives us the willingness to do something, but nothing more. Once we make a start, the game changes and it becomes about knowing how to make progress.
A rather specific bit of information, but if you are deploying to Fly.io and want an easy way to access data stored in your Volumes, fly ssh sftp get is a great little command just for that!
Spring ‘83 is a very interesting idea for something which might come after we move on from timelines, RSS and newsletters. As stated in the narrative description of it:
- Twitter’s timeline is a muddle. It’s too uneven; when a user stops speaking, they disappear, and, by corollary, as a follower, you mostly encounter the users who are speaking nonstop…
- RSS is too stark. I follow a lot of RSS feeds, and I appreciate them, and I almost want to leave it at that; nothing’s more boring than re-litigating RSS.
- Email is a retreat. … The thing is, email inboxes have been algorithmic for a long time, and publishers struggle with Gmail’s caprice almost as much as they do Instagram’s.
Definitely still in the draft/PoC phase of its life, but definitely hitting some of the issues I’ve had with alternatives I saw presented so far. Food for thought!
