   Thanks for the recommendation. I've been looking into copywriting to improve this aspect. But I wasn't sure if it works in the tech industry because most copywriting advice seems to be geared at B2C copy where you write for a gene

   I also enjoy working on small firms. My current network IRL is small, so I want to use things like "seeking freelancer" more but I'm not good at standing out. What did you post in the thread that got you the gig?

   I switched from make a while ago because I was using it to run tasks in my Python projects, which doesn't require any of make's build tools. I didn't like make's complicated syntax either. Everything just makes more sens

    Same. I tried a bunch of fancier methods like pour-over, french press, and moka pot with expensive whole beans but I always come back to the trusty cheapo drip machine with pre-ground coffee beans.

    This is amazing! I self host Plausible but don't like depending on Clickhouse and Postgres because they're annoying to upgrade. What kind of database is this using though? I don't know enough Go to figure it out from the sour
