Feels like “winter hustle mode” is ending for a lot of people.

More daylight, more sunshine; it’s getting warm and beautiful outside.

Getting harder to sit inside on a laptop.

@JackEllis The framing of this question is difficult, because immediately I think: “compared to where?”

Housing prices have gone up worldwide.

When I traveled to the Netherlands, it was on the news. Same in Germany. Same in most provinces and states in North America.

(Also: which level…

@DCoulbourne @noplanstomerge Still! In the PNW, we haven't seen prices like that in a long time.

For example, Seattle's median sales price is $760,000.

The median list price in Vernon, BC, is $703,190 (CAD).

A new annoying bug I just found:

Someone replied to me yesterday in X DMs, but I still don't see their replies on the web. (They appear in the mobile app.)

Not getting DMs destroys a lot of the utility of this place for me.

@r00k Wonderful product design.

It’s like having to go to the console to check if I have email replies:

mutt -f "imaps://USER:PASS@imap.gmail.com/INBOX"

Biggest surprise from the latest @noplanstomerge:

Buying a house for $235k and $209k?!!?!

Housing prices in Asheville and Buffalo are very different than here. 😅

If you're in tech, and looking for a job, I highly recommend you check out this series by Josh.

You need to position yourself the same way marketers position a product!

Your Twitter profile, resume, emails, and website should answer the question: "Why should we hire you?" https://twitter.com/JoshDoody/status/1765418433011695681

@r00k This is great advice (I love the metaphor).

"People want to be good at something right away and don't want to accept the fact that they're going to make a bunch of inevitable mistakes. They think if they get advice that will save them from a bunch of trouble. But, they need to…

Listening to the latest @MostlyTechPod, and it's wild to hear how big of a response @aarondfrancis got after being laid off from PlanetScale.

Aaron built up a ton of goodwill online, and now (in his time of need), he's getting support, encouragement, and job offers! (20+?!?)

Curious: was anyone out there planning on signing up for @TransistorFM (or migrating a podcast over?).

I'm looking for someone to record their screen and narrate their "first-run" experience.

If that's you, get in touch!

(I'll give 6 months free in exchange for your trouble!)

@ProfBillMcGuire “Join a group of like-minded people and to work with them to drive institutional and systemic change. In every case, this has had a galvanizing effect, replacing hopelessness with hope; inertia with action.”

I was going to publish this as my newsletter tomorrow morning, but I'm going to let it sit for a bit and send it on Sunday.

(Needs more contemplation and editing before I send it).

It's similar to the idea of being on the "hot seat" (which I've done at different retreats), where you have to explain a business problem you're experiencing and get advice from the group.

But I like the idea of demoing something a team has just built.
