I'm working with a client right now, trying to onboard them to O365 - I tried to push them the GSuite way (I prefer it, they prefer it, but their IT company is fixed on O365 and...other reasons) - so have been spending lots of time wor

I may not be the audience, so take this with a pinch of salt. But I think anyone in any SaaS-like / software space should be articulating several things really clearly on their homepage. This should be really punchy, articulated in a s

I'm fascinated by this. So "AI" art isn't ok. But presumably Photoshop as a tool to create artworks is ok? What about some of the filters and plugins available? What about if you use AI as a tool to prepare art that you

The irony of spending time on an article about attention that covers no new ground and is all noise, very little signal... If you do want a take on attention that is pretty interesting I'd recommend Stolen Focus[1] by Johann Hari. Hari

Here, specifically, I don't know. But in general I like Brave. It's Chrome but less of the GBollocks.

Ha, sadly that's not how a (my) day rate works. I am very comfortable, but take home maybe £60k p/a. It's a very nice salary for me, but in the world of many it's not huge :-)

I'm 50 and care about nothing apart from my family. That's why I want to be around for them by having a good work / life balance which for me means working as I've described. I can worry about the money when they've

Everyone here is so incredibly focused on money as the primary motivator, which I guess given the thread question makes some sense. But I'd like to just put in a little word for money not being everything, and client type / work t

Oo, cheers, will check that out, sounds highly relevant!

Thanks for that - brilliant article, resonated a lot with me and my situation!

I kinda thought this would be an article about possessions and a lifetime spent gathering them; what they mean, if anything, and what to do about them as generations change. That to me would make a more interesting read than one that focuse

He seems to be doing ok. Quotes from Brad Frost. Revenues of ~$700k. I'm not sure that much sabotage going on, tbh ;-)

Yes. [Edit] - no, obviously not "for fine dining", but jeez, the guy is asking $49, not $4900! Who said anything about fine dining...?!

If this is a trick then you could arguably put pretty much any marketing into the same category. Looks nice? Cheaper than competition? Has newsletter? Great SEO? Really well authored content? Lovely video? Are these all "tricks" t

Sometimes the hostile responses on here really floor me. Maybe think before you type something like this. This is a really solid, incredibly professional and really not very expensive product. I use it all the time. The guy shipped somethin

I did. It's great. If you're doing any kind of front-end work with any kind of design angle to it then it's hugely useful.

Agree. I’d say it’s worse - those hours are sporadic, endless distraction. Every few minutes, a buzz, a ding, something taking you away from whatever else you were doing…

I’ve literally just now got back from having a dip in the sea, and was laughing to myself at the guy standing in the surf looking at his phone. Beautiful evening, stunning weather, and his dog standing there looking bored waiting for him to

By the sea, in a small town in Cornwall. Loads to do, and he does a lot of it - he surfs, rides his bike, climbs, hangs with his mates. He’s an excellent fellow, and I hope nothing I’ve said suggests otherwise. When he’s not on his phone, h

Me too. Hilariously I got the first downvote about 10 seconds after posting it, not enough time for anyone to actually read my thoughts.. :-)

I think I'd amend the piece a bit. Personally I think we're playing a high price for mobile phones. Granted, much of the harm is being done by social, but really it's the addictive nature, the "always on-ness" of th
