Brilliant concept and impressive execution. I saw you write in another comment thread "its one of those things that you would never imagine is still a problem." This was precisely my reaction. And then on the flip side, when you

I’ve been using Notion as a personal knowledge base for a couple of years now, and I still feel a sense of joy every time I fire it up (countless times a day). It’s simple, yet elegant. That said, I don’t know anything about the company. I

The question is.. where is that ceiling? I'm thinking about next steps in my career and wondering if I've already hit that ceiling, or at least a local maximum (barring a switch to FAANG). Perhaps the best way to know is spend th

I'm sure buying out your partner was an incredibly difficult decision to make. Good on you for leaning into what you've built by putting your money where your mouth is. I hope it pays off for you, and thanks for sharing your stor

This is fascinating. As somebody who knows nothing at all about this.. are there any detailed books on the subject?

Looking at the photos: the vehicle itself is tiny, as is the cargo space for groceries. There are two cargo areas with separate doors, so presumably each customer's delivery could have an isolated cargo space. I could imagine this con

Great post Dave. Succinctly put. You're being generous with the email example.. what's worse (and probably more common) is when it's unrelated to work altogether: Instagram.

Neat "policy". Also curious about your favorites. Any you can recommend?

Not that weird considering Amazon prices fluctuate daily (even throughout the day e.g. higher prices during lunch hours). Newegg likely does this as well. Also note that his prices are listed per unit , and the products are not always sol

Do you have any resources to show how this is potentially a fire hazard? Genuinely curious.. because I often hear people talk about even the most basic electronics as this Big Scary Thing, and in my mind, it is quite simple and harmless. P

Git is actually great for text (code is just text after all), it's just a matter of a better display for the diffs. Might want to have a look at a project I'm working on, Penflip [1], which does exactly this. It uses Git to trac

Great read. I'm a huge advocate of using files and version control (specifically markdown and git) for published content, so I hope this workflow catches on. Two improvements that are worth thinking about: 1) A public repository for c
