@ow That's the speed of my connection. 😆

Look at these numbers.

To download an 8 GB file...

...in 1991 it would take 1,325 hours on a 14.4k modem.

In 2018 with fiber (300 Mbit/s) it takes you 4 minutes.

As a kid of the 90s, I had to leave my computer on all night in order to download Quake (8 MB) on a 14.4 modem...

So the idea that I can download an 8 GIGABYTE file in ~4 minutes is insane. 🤯

@michaeldyrynda now that's a YouTube live I'd watch

@0xferruccio @hugo__df @thepatwalls @thisiskp_ I enjoyed this one!

(And learned a few things too 🙌)

@Shpigford whoa! 2 weeks sounds 👌

@alphacolin I’d like to know more about this part!

RT @coreycoburn: @mijustin love the show! Listening currently to episode 39 😉 Great episode so far!

@shawnyeager Thanks for sharing it Shawn!

@coreycoburn Haha! Yessss!

Thanks so much for listening.

@watsonstuart Thanks so much for reaching out Stuart!

It's encouraging to hear from folks who are listening live.

Do you walk and listen to podcasts every morning? (On the way to work?)

@tylertringas We use Discourse for @megamaker.

A few reasons for it:
- We host it ourselves, so we don't have to worry about it being shut down
- It's searchable and good for async, long-form discussion
- It has decent threading

Well, it's time for another late-night solo episode of the "Build your SaaS" podcast!

Uploading episode 39 right now.

@lovevalgeisler @jasondoesstuff @getdrip 👋🏼 I worked for an ESP for ~7 years.

SORBS is a (notoriously) poorly run blacklist. They don't have a great reputation in the industry. Very few people use them (I don't think that's your problem)

To me, it looks like SPF isn't properly configured for http://wanderingaimfully.com

(@adamd suggested "being in limbo" which is close)

Looking for a word that means:

"In-between two realities" or more succinctly "that place in the middle where you've left an old reality, but haven't fully arrived in your new reality."

Kind of like "no man's land?"

- are drawn to distractions

No.

@mdhoad Yeah! That's what @jonbuda said too. 😄

Maybe because I rebooted my machine?

@robwalling Original concept and brand: @dylanrwells

WordPress design + build: @avclark

They're both 💯.

Trying to fix one thing in the @transistorfm Rails app before I leave for today https://www.pscp.tv/w/bugX5TM4NTU1MXwxbFBLcWRsUkVYUXhizflLaRmeon85AdXlP2teT_K-gflwO7UNREuF9n3YUh4=

@de_henne "Old" in the sense that I'm at a different stage of life than someone who is in their 20s, and has no dependents or mortgage.

(Also, "old" in the sense that most SF founders are in their 20s / early 30s)

@shaisc @SamuelHulick @rightmessageapp 👍

I need to implement something like this for @TransistorFM too... 🤔

@petersuhm Thanks!

We talk about bootstrapping in the context of a real human life. Mortgage, kids, spouse, and dwindling personal bank accounts!

How do you deal with the stress and the pressure that's created by trying to build something out of nothing? How do you make good decisions?

Part 1 was @asmartbear and I setting the stage.

But in part 2 we really get into the real human experience of bootstrapping a business. What does it mean to be an entrepreneur, not just theoretically, but practically?

Just published a new podcast:

"The hard truth about bootstrapping startups."

https://overcast.fm/+MP58qWyuE

RT @dhh: Appreciate @mijustin sharing his doubts, struggles, and uncertainties about where to take his startup. No matter which path you ta…

@AndresB Ah. Yes. If I do retainers, I'd probably want them to be in the ~$6k range, but it's definitely an option. 👌

@AndresB @dhh Haha. The problem is *I'm* old, with 4 kids (aged 10-16), and there's no way we can live on $3k-$4k/month.

@dhh Thanks! I appreciate it. 👌

Podcast search is broken.

A search for "Paul Simon" should bring me the best episodes about the singer-songwriter.

@ListenNotes and @Breaker results are pretty good. iTunes and Overcast, not great.

Being on snow is good for the soul.

@danmartell Thanks for sharing it 🙌

@JackEllis @asmartbear “Bootstrapping philosopher” would have also been a good title. 😉

This book Refactoring UI is a no-brainer for anyone in the web industry.

https://refactoringui.com/book/

It's written by @adamwathan (a dev) and @steveschoger (a designer) so you get both perspectives as you're reading it.

If you want to understand what makes "good design," it's 💯.
