@jayclouse Hahaha. That's awesome. I grew up pretty "country" and never experienced "bring your own food." 😜

@jbenton But Luminary isn't just connecting listeners to regular RSS feeds.

They're re-hosting everything on their servers.

@sarah_edo 👋 visionary here.

@andrewculver Ooh. I like this idea.

@MattHartman @tinyseedfund (I think they're just looking for companies with a few hundred dollars in MRR, and will invest "$120k for the first founder + $20k per additional founder, in exchange for 8-15% equity.")

@MattHartman Nice work Matt!

Don't forget about @tinyseedfund. 👍

@michaeldyrynda Wow! I dig it.

@pulse_cms @yuzool nice work! 🙌

@Padraig YESSSSSSS 💯

@taylorotwell ❤️

@TheEricAnderson @TransistorFM let me know how I can improve it. 💪

@jlinowski @TransistorFM Yeah, it's tricky, because a big portion of our customers (~40%) already have a podcast and our switching to us.

☕ Sitting in a coffee shop, talking with someone about @TransistorFM & podcasting.

Lots of folks are still confused about "how a podcast gets into the Podcasts app on my iPhone."

I wrote an answer here:

@adamwathan @fullstackradio @TransistorFM Thanks for having me! 🙌

You can still see it on Vallely's website from 2011 here:

Still my favorite About page of all time:

"When I was in 6th Grade I fought Cesar Gaona and lost badly. I knew I’d lose, he knew I’d lose, the whole school knew I’d lose, but I fought that motherfucker anyway.

That’s about all you really need to know about me." – @MikeVallely

@evanmoir @ow I'd that really a thing? Live podcasts pushing musicians out of live venues?

@FORSBERGtwo But if you think about the name "Gandalf"...

Really appreciate @hnshah's honesty in this post.

For "excitable" product people like me, it's a cautionary tale. All founders should read it.

https://producthabits.com/my-billion-dollar-mistake/

Did your competitor launch a new feature? Wait and see how it works out.

Get a new idea in the shower? Wait and see if you're still excited about it in a week.

Get a suggestion from a customer? Wait and see how important it really is.

Wait, and see how things develop.

"Don't just stand there, do something!"

It's amazing how often the opposite is true.

Instead of doing something, the best reaction is to... wait.

@_patrickpistor It's definitely one of my faves! 👍

I've also been really enjoying Seth Godin's "Akimbo" podcast lately.

@davemorin @abexlumberg Listened to this today. Really good to hear your voice, Dave. Thanks for talking about your experience, and what you're doing next! 👍

Her whole chat with @marcmaron is worth listening to.

@davemorin @abexlumberg Nice! I've really been enjoying Without Fail. Looking forward to listening to your episode. 👍

When thousands of people resonate with a tweet like this it shows that there's pent-up demand for something better.

Cue James Dyson.

@csallen: "Carrd goes counter to a lot of the advice I give. Am I giving bad advice?"

@ajlkn: "What worked for me might not work for other people. But I will say this: being dogmatic about your approach can box you in."

@dglawson152 Yes! We're seeing that in Canada too. 👍

This chat between @ajlkn and @csallen hits on so many good points:

"If you're self-funded, and have money saved, you can afford to move at slower pace. You don't have to be worried about making a bunch of cash right away."

@colindowling You can't put a price on freedom.

I know brilliant folks in AI and computer vision who are running their own indie companies. They wouldn't trade that autonomy and work for Google (even if you offered them millions).

@ssxio Yup, I agree.

Entrepreneurship is (probably?) not for everyone.

But... it's increasingly accessible to more folks.

Folks can move out of San Francisco, and build a little company of their own in Memphis, Salt Lake City, Omaha, etc...

Even if they earn less, they can have a better life.

@jameshull Exactly!

Workers want health.

They want to reduce their stress, get more (and better) sleep, to spend less time commuting, and to be more physically active.

Workers want freedom.

They want the flexibility to live anywhere and choose their hours.

Increasingly, folks are willing to trade "lower pay" for "more freedom."

I like this idea of learning in public.

@ernestopino Yup, I've been thinking about that @seanwes quote a lot.

Up late pretending to be a mythological oryctolagus cuniculus.

@Mat_Sherman Not exactly.

I'm saying: if you're hiring for a company, and you're offering $300k, you're competing against that person working for themselves (at a much lower rate).

What's interesting is how many people would prefer to work for themselves (for a lot less money).

@Mat_Sherman Does it really work the other way? 😜

Google and startups stand to miss out on some amazing hires.

"Bootstrapping" stands to lose... what?

Hiring managers at Google (and startups) should be scared about these results. https://twitter.com/thepatwalls/status/1116863301449728000

@askmikewarner @western_sound Wow. That is impressive. I've been wanting to build something like that for @TransistorFM 👌

@askmikewarner Where is that soundproof hut! 😍

@lovevalgeisler @useloom http://Headliner.app does video editing + transcription (and captions) in the browser.

@bennpatt_ Yes! We have that too, and I like it.

This Super Mario Deluxe on Switch is actually a lot of fun (especially multiplayer mode with my kids).

@tracymakes @JavaFXpert +1

@MattGiovanisci Are you just quoting House of Pain lyrics to me? 😉

At @TransistorFM, our values are more aligned with what @csallen describes here:

https://twitter.com/csallen/status/1118952086127902723?s=21

For most businesses, 2x year-over-year growth is incredible.

If @transistorfm makes $200k this year, and $400k next year, @jonbuda and I will be ecstatic.

Imagine having to be disappointed by those numbers? 🤦‍♂️

Nope, VC is not for me.

Bootstrapping's not for everyone, but the pressure that comes from venture capitalists is definitely not for me. https://twitter.com/garrytan/status/1118619707999805440
