Love what @kdlafrance & @Shopify is doing with this podcast.

@_rchase_ @tylertringas @rchase @hostifi @locklin @Twitter I was able to get @megamaker after getting the trademark.

@volkandkaya Route 53 doesn’t support ALIAS/ANAME records. Doesn’t look like there’s anything we can do. 😞

@TransistorFM @coreyhaley Happy birthday Corey! 🎉

@AdamFairhead nope. it's just not affecting every site.

we haven't done a build today.

@elbirth @TransistorFM Yup! https://twitter.com/TransistorFM/status/1375106602873675778

@jeffreyguenther @Shpigford @MaybeFinance Not all Canadians. I believe it was just Ontario?

(I’m in BC and I can use Republic)

@vaugenwake Primarily on AWS, but we use other (ancillary) services as well.

@szabcsee @tailwindcss This is a good setup:

@satireven @taylorotwell @antfu7 @windi_css Satireven and Anthony: the truth is you copied someone else’s work, and then decided to compete with them.

They don’t owe you anything!

Your idea for Windi is (demonstrably) not original.

@Jessica_B365 @heyblake @AmandaMGoetz @myfriendjanine @ArlanWasHere @BackseatVC Thanks Jessica. 🙌

@_brandswell @TryGhost No official integration yet, but it should be possible to wire something up with our Zapier integration?

https://transistor.fm/changelog/zapier/

@Shpigford 😍 so much better than mars

@MattGiovanisci Yup!

@MattGiovanisci Generally, conversion is “Visitor —> Paid.”

Are they calculating based on unique visitors?

@nwquah Really enjoyed the show! Glad you made it.

@dimnls @david_perell Thanks for sharing it. 👍

@michaeldyrynda @TransistorFM Didn’t have time to investigate in detail. Definitely seems like they’re using a heavy JS framework.

Speed test: @TransistorFM vs a competitor.

Dashboard loads 48x faster on Transistor. 🤯

@marshal This is happening everywhere!

I’d say Canada is even more nuts.

@joshua_hornby @TransistorFM Nice work! 🙌

RT @joshuaanderton: Do I have any friends in DTC/Ecommerce?

Would love to know what you're using for email marketing, abandoned cart camp…

@theothercole Not yet! Pulled pork.

@theothercole So far: tacos.

@mjwhansen So excited for this! 🙌

@adamwathan @steveschoger @david_luhr So good! 🙌

@anthilemoon @ness_labs Wow! Well done! 🙌

@amahnke Thanks for sharing this. Your story is inspiring. 👍

@samudesosa I don’t hate the idea of blockchain, I hate the ecological impacts.

There are other open protocols (email, RSS, http) that have far smaller footprints.

(We can’t trade one problem for another. If we don’t have a 🌍, none of this matters)

@hunterwalk 🙄 Hearing Zuck and Ek bemoan the loss of the "open internet" is laughable.

Facebook (Zuck) and Spotify (Ek) bemoaning the loss of the "open internet" is completely hypocritical.

50% of this conversation is Zuck and Ek complaining about Apple.

Apple's not perfect, but hearing Zuck and Ek talk about a "level playing field" is absolutely laughable.

Both Facebook and Spotify play the same games: monopolistic control wherever they can get it.

OMG. Zuck:

"If you want to give everybody a voice, give people free services that are ad-supported. And people, if they see ads, they want to see relevant ads."

Bullshit.

Nobody wants less privacy, more tracking, and creepy ads that follow you around the internet.

@jongold 🎯

@dragosilinca Yeah. So far, their "insights" are pretty banal.

Spoiler: large, multi-national corporations (and their CEOs) don't *really* care about individual creators.

They want:

- all of the leverage
- centralized control
- as much of the upside as they can get

Once they control distribution, they apply downward pressure on creators.

@myfriendjanine Anything interesting so far?

@KeliWestgate 😍

@typeoneerror @TransistorFM Yup. We’re doing a test run right now (4 weeks of having them on full time).

It’s going well so far!

@csallen loved the more personal format in your chat with @kevinleeme. 👍

https://overcast.fm/+JmiP5NvJU

@rickyio7 @TransistorFM It’s true!

Thanks to everyone who’s ever recommended @TransistorFM to a friend, co-worker, client. ❤️

We constantly have folks sign up and say “My friend recommended you!” 🙌

We’re a small company, and your referrals mean a lot to us. 🥰

@adamwathan @pjrvs Lol. Twitter only gave me 4 options!

@DanielZarick @TransistorFM Yup. 👍

@pjrvs Yup. That’s what we’ve done. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1372294783977234435

At @TransistorFM, Jon and I have always done support.

For the last two years, we’ve also had help from P/T contractors. (Very helpful, especially for other time zones or when we want to take time off).

We are in the midst of hiring a F/T Director of Customer Success. 🤞

@tylertringas Outsource to a contractor or agency.

Online business owners: how do you handle customer support?

Do you do it yourself? Outsource?

@bgardner The site looks great! 🙌

@stauffermatt @laravelphp @LaraconOnline Just sponsored 5 tickets from @TransistorFM!

@tylertringas @earnestcapital Whoa!

@fulligin I dig it

@DrShaena 😂

@DrShaena Regular oven that comes with the *parking lot*?

@iamjoshfrank @jasonfried @basecamp @dhh In comedy, the details matter. 😂

@jasonfried New @basecamp Racing series between you and @dhh? 😄

@alphacolin What would be the "trigger event" in Gumroad's case?

ref: https://medium.com/clays-thoughts/understanding-the-crowd-safe-2e20c1d2d2fe

Lots of folks excited (and investing in!) Gumroad's big crowd equity campaign today.

Crowdfunding seems like an awesome opportunity for founders (especially those who have built up social capital).

But I'm still unclear how "good" these campaigns are for investors? https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1356731802698674176

@christophrumpel Good luck!

@beingbrad That’s a deal

Have questions for me about bootstrapping, SaaS, marketing? https://twitter.com/jmckinven/status/1371205367204610053

@einarvollset @azhawkes What bothers me:

- illegally reopening the Freemont factory
- tweeting COVID misinformation
- firing workers who wanted to stay home (after saying he wouldn’t)

I love how easy it is to block off time in @savvycal_ 👍

(It's spring break for the kids!)

@azhawkes - illegally reopening the Freemont factory
- tweeting COVID misinformation
- firing workers who wanted to stay home (after saying he wouldn’t)

When Elon does dumb shit like this it does not make me excited to own a Tesla.

@jbibla @jongold Those don’t sound like dumb questions!

From what I’ve read, defining the boundaries of what should be included in an energy assessment is an important step.

This paper proposes Life Cycle Assessment as a way of comparing transactions:

@MoreWillie You gotta change your license plate to

DRTY TSLA

@jbibla @jongold Compared to VISA transactions, ETH still seems to require orders of magnitude more energy per transaction?

@whale @jongold I’d have to see the numbers you’re referring to.

So far, I’ve seen a lot of false equivalency in comparisons. Isn’t Youtube apples to oranges?

Also, I have complained about data center usage (and Google’s overall footprint) in the past. We need to be reducing everything, no?

@jongold Can you guide me to the research you’ve seen on ETH?

Because everything I’ve seen states that it’s excessive.

@jongold I’m pro artist, and pro experimentation.

But the climate effects of crypto are concerning.

Does the solution have to be crypto? Is there another system that could also work and benefit artists, without the excessive energy use?

@corey_gwin lol. You deserve a medal for this Corey. 🥇🏅🎖

@DanielZarick I dig it!

1. You’ve got built-in traffic.
2. People are in a good mood. Similar to “strolling downtown with a coffee.”
3. Folks love spending money on their pets. Perfect place for a “pet reward.”

@DanielZarick Not as good as an ice cream stand on a busy beach, but still worth trying. 😉

@Shpigford Let me restate this, and see if it changes your framing:

“Scientists say climate change is a problem and we need to *act* now, collectively, in order to save the planet.”

How can we, as humans, come to a consensus in a reasonable amount of time, in order to act?

@spencerfry @joelgascoigne @peldi Not $10M, correct.

Still, an incredible business, culture, and founder. 👍

@joelgascoigne I’d say @peldi!

@shl Sure. Ok, but doesn’t your first tweet relate to our present, lived reality?

In a human century, some things will be bubbles, others will prove revolutionary, and others will be fads.

(And, still other phenomena will be none of these things)

Your initial tweet seemed binary.

@shl Lol. Meaning, “in the span of billions of years, smartphones are just a fad?”

I suppose in the “fullness of time” most human artifacts are ultimately meaningfulness. 😄

@shl ... or it’s a fad.

@corey_gwin Are you a millennial?

@_erod It’s still a good question.

In your case, the answer to “what have you done to solve the problem?” is “nothing, because the social cost for me to ask the VP is too high.”

The answer is a good indicator of how much inertia there is around project management software.

@mhetreramesh It’s still a good question.

In your case, the answer to “what have you done to solve the problem?” is “complain.”

It’s still a good indicator of how much momentum there is towards change.

@TheEricAnderson Wait. You’re in LA now!?!

The follow-up question: “what have you done to find a better solution? What alternatives have you tried?”

People often dislike their current solution, but not enough to actually do something about it.

Inertia is a strong force. https://twitter.com/hnshah/status/1370584849661054979

@volkandkaya @TransistorFM 👍

@Shpigford Let me sit with this for a bit, and really consider it, before I respond. 😉

@Shpigford Here’s an example:

Scientists tell us we should be worried about climate change and doing something about it.

In this case, it matter who is right (If scientists are right, we don’t have a planet).

It feels like that’s worth figuring out who’s right?
