@marckohlbrugge 💯

I think that “knowing when to quit an idea” is an underrated skill for founders.

@5harath Customers. 😉

@djrosent You should have invested it all in Sega!

Noticing a ton of bot followers with similar usernames.

@podcastharry Loving Alessandro’s style.

Last night

@podcastharry I’ll check ‘em out!

@MrTamPham @raechellambert I’ve been inspired by your dancing clips!

My wife and I are going to try to start dance lesson in June. 👍

@jeffreybunn Yessssss.

Make it happen! 👏

@typeoneerror Agreed.

@aymanalabdul @nickgraynews Ayman!!! You’re one of those guys I see on Instagram and think: “Damn, I love his style.”

Your suits! What’s the secret?

@fishhhooks 😆

@HCWeiss Did you answer my Pedro Pascal poll? 😜

@JackEllis YESSSSS

This is the spring 2023 Jack Ellis look we've been waiting for!

@aarondfrancis What did your partner say? 😅

Significant others of men: which Pedro style would you want your man to try? 😜

(men pass your phone to your partner and get them to vote)

Men: which Pedro style would you wear?

Ok. Just for fun on a Friday (based on my previous tweet) let's do a poll:

MEN: which of these Pedro Pascal styles would you actually wear?

PARTNERS OF MEN: which style would you like to see your man wear?

@raechellambert This is good advice! 🙌

@dglsparsons Hahaha.

A few questions for men:

1. How often do you buy clothes?
2. How do you decide on "your look?"
3. Do you follow anyone for style advice?
4. What's the last thing you bought?

(trying to get better at "fashion")

@dvassallo Love it!

Will it have a fireplace?

@mdgale Yeah. It's really concerning.

What most people don't know is that "Canada, especially polar regions that are warming the fastest of all, has already blown past 1.5 degrees of warming over pre-industrial levels."

https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/wmo-report-1-5-degrees-what-about-canada-1.6847161

Alberta's "peak burning period" is still ahead of them, yet they're already close to breaking the record for total hectares burned. 🤯

Ref: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-wildfires-province-military-recovery-canada-1.6843182

@NealOGrady Yeah. Really concerning.

I didn't love the threat of "smoke in August," but to have this so early (in the spring!)? Not good.

@r00k Time to fire up a Tuple Twitch account!

The worrying thing about fires: really, no amount of wildfire smoke is good to inhale.

The long-term effects of breathing this stuff in aren't good:

https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2023-australia-wildfire-toxic-legacy/

@bergcoder Way more hot and dry than normal.

Most of the big fires are burning in northern Alberta:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-wildfires-province-military-recovery-canada-1.6843182

Here's the wildfire smoke forecast for today:
https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/

A massive portion of Canada and the United States is affected (to varying degrees) by smoke from burning fires.

BC and Alberta have been breaking heat records up to 37C (98F) all of May.

@zackgilbert Netlify is a good option:

https://justinjackson.ca/tailwind-ui-netlify

@jasonlbeggs @aarondfrancis @leenyburger @statamic Honestly, @statamic is the best customizable CMS option right now. 👍

@cgpat Agreed. We’re going to fix that by bumping up the key light. 👍

@yongfook Haha. Pretty much!

@colinloretz @noahwbragg @lorindaapps We have one up there! But it’s not on in this shot.

@theKevinShen @lorindaapps @TransistorFM Thanks for all your help @theKevinShen! ❤️

Air quality just got real bad:

#10.62/50.253/-119.2459" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://map.purpleair.com/1/mAQI/a10/p604800/cC0#10.62/50.253/-119.2459

@expressivepaige It’s sad. 😢

@alexjgarrett @aarondfrancis 👀

@mattwensing @usesummit Startup game is easy: just hit "pause" and take all the time you need to STRATEGIZE, SYNERGIZE, and MONETIZE. 😎

@noahwbragg Thanks so much! That's all @lorindaapps' work.

RT @KarlreMarks: Humans doing the hard jobs on minimum wage while the robots write poetry and paint is not the future I wanted

@TiagoSilvaHQ @TransistorFM Thanks! 🥰

It's all @lorindaapps' work.

@JoshDance @mjwhansen @buildyoursaas @GlideGear This here. 👍

(Part of this is me doing research for my @FullStackEU talk – wondering which Disney references I can make. 😅)

Alright, presenting my giant backdrop of (transistor) radios! 📻

(Well, technically, many of them are tube radios. But they're all cool).

Feels like I need to bump up the brightness on my key light.

We're also thinking of backlighting these with leds.

@LouisSlices What were some of your favorites?

@pavlos1944 What were some of your favorite Disney movies?

@gimenete What were some of your favorites?

@flaviocopes What was your favorite movie as a kid?

Did you grow up outside of North America?

I’m curious: how big of a role did Disney movies play in your childhood?

This is what the smoke looks like in Calgary right now: https://twitter.com/andrewmcintyre/status/1658507074102530049

RT @JoelKlettke: This is how my city looks right now. I don’t remember, as a kid, having a single year that looked anything like this.

It’s only May and this is the wildfire and smoke situation in North America.

https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/

@derrickreimer Totally!

Thanks for sharing this.

I need to re-read @mjwhansen’s book again. 👍

@adamwathan Wish I could come!

(My son graduates high school around that time)

@AlbanBrooke 🎯

@AlbanBrooke Yes!

I've described podcasts as "slow" media. It's a mindful medium.

And, because it's an open protocol, no centralized company can try to juice it to increase engagement.

@noahwbragg @artofproductpod @OutOfBetaPod @SoftwareSocPod @aarondfrancis @leenyburger @coreyhainesco @c_spags @buildyoursaas It’s similar to your favorite TV shows: after several seasons it’s time to wind the show down.

The nice thing is, for every bootstrapped show that winds down there are 1-2 new shows that start up!

@marshal Congrats you two! ❤️

@kevinmgalang @aarondfrancis I’m glad that episode is leading to honest conversations. 👍

Having this kind of introspection and self-assessment in a relationship is important.

@TimLeland @TransistorFM Twitter has had audio embeds for a while. 👍

One of the few social media platforms with embedded audio.

@monicalimco @TransistorFM Hey! I just recorded this quick video explaining why this is the case.

tl;dr – in the same way that Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Apple Mail all render HTML differently in the email world 👉 Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, etc all render HTML differently in the podcast world.

European friends: I'm planning my travel to @freekmurze's @FullStackEU conference in October.

What's the train from Frankfurt to Brussels/Antwerp like?

@aarondfrancis I need to send you one of these “I ❤️ PHP” shirts I had made. 😄

@iansmithbuilds Yes! We're doing another one on March 31st:

https://startupvernon.com/events/hack-may-31

@thatbberg @mjwhansen @buildyoursaas @GlideGear Thank you!

It's all @lorindaapps' work. 🥰

I demoed the latest version of the studio setup for @mjwhansen (we have an episode coming out tomorrow on @buildyoursaas).

New gear:

📋 Teleprompter: @GlideGear
📟 Teleprompter display: LILLIPUT A11
💡 Hanging light bulbs: Swpeet Pendant Hanging Light

@cgstrom That’s spicy 🌶️

@thekylemarshall Oooh. That sounds delicious.

How many people do you think have accidentally dropped their iPhone on the BBQ?

@gilbert It’s true.

@MrGregZen It was super fun!

RT @FullZachDev: Wow, such a good episode by @aarondfrancis and @mijustin

Both so deliberate.

This wasn’t a red-bull-infused
all-nighter.

Very calm. People just did what they wanted. Some just came to hang out and have a drink. Others showed demoed what they were working on.

Mostly just listening to music together, working on laptops, and being social. 👍

A few photos from hack night last night.

We rented a bar, people brought their laptops, worked on side-projects, demoed some stuff on stage, and hung out.

I think we had 20-30 people total?

Really great (especially for a small town).

@BretFisher @TransistorFM It’s challenging, because not all podcast listening apps support custom episode artwork.

This is a good guide:

@aarondfrancis too late for this submission?

cold emails gettin' sassy

Trying to explain the 90s to my kids.

@djrosent Was the name of this device literally just “32X”? 😅

@johnspurlock 👀 interesting.

Tortoise initially launched on Transistor. (They eventually jumped to Acast for the ad network/ad sales)

At first glance, success can be perplexing:

"Why did one person succeed with that idea while another didn't?"

Often, it's the sum of "small bets" beneath the surface that matters: a person's experiences, experiments, connections, and insights gleaned over many years.

More often than not, when you see someone succeeding with a "big bet," it's because they've laid a strong foundation with hundreds of smaller bets.

The big success is a culmination of everything they've tried before.

@cemerick @asmartbear The base assertion (that our time, energy, and focus is limited) is true.

You have:
40 hours for work
40 hours for sleep
40 hours for everything else

You can’t cram an unlimited number of things in that last bucket.

Also, lots of evidence for assertions like this: “Young kids…

I also like @asmartbear’s take on this: “You can have two ‘Big Things’ in your life, but not three.”

https://longform.asmartbear.com/two-big-things/

I like this metaphor.

Thinking in terms of “XP” feels healthy: you have a finite number of points, how do want to spend them? (No overdraft!)

Your time, attention, and energy is limited. https://twitter.com/mattwensing/status/1656525118179254272

@jrfarr It’s real! https://www.slashgear.com/1282428/watch-google-io-open-with-a-bizarre-ai-generated-song-about-a-duck-with-lips/

@mattwensing I do really like your XP metaphor. 💯

I like the perspective it provides: “your time, attention, and energy isn’t unlimited.”

Thinking in terms of “XP” feels healthy: you have a finite number of points, how do want to spend them? (No overdraft!)

@mattwensing Real talk (from my experience): the more close family members you have, the more XP required. 😅

A healthy relationship with my spouse takes a healthy amount of XP. 😉

I also want to dedicate a healthy amount of XP to each of my kids (x4).

My 20 XP is going fast!

@mattwensing The math for this gets more complicated depending on how many buckets one assumes a healthy human requires.

Personally, I think we need to add:

- Physical / mental health

And “Family” could be separate buckets (spouse, kids, etc).

Others might also have buckets like “Faith.”

Rumor is they tried to get Ballmer but he wasn't available. https://twitter.com/danlev/status/1656373547093352449

@venikunche 😅 the honesty!

@joshcirre @aarondfrancis I’ve already heard from one spouse who listened to the episode. It’d be great to hear from more. 👍

@earthlingworks @coreyhainesco Wait, you’re saying SEO is *not* your most important channel right now?

@zackgilbert @aarondfrancis I’m glad it was helpful!
