@DerrickRoccka I would *love* to come to Barcelona again!

Convince @robwalling & @SingleFounder to have another #MicroConf there! 👌

@SachaGreif why the fuck aren't you here? @yuzool and I think you should come next year.

This is the first time I've seen these ads on Quora. Has anyone tried advertising there yet?

It's like a secret passage...

but better.

Big thanks to @ericlbarnes for doing this interview with me for the Laravel News blog!

I've recommended @TextExpander countless times while working in coffee shops. It's so useful, it feels like a shame to keep it a secret.

Yes, spending more time at the office will help you "achieve more stuff."

But it won't necessarily help you achieve better outcomes.

☝️ Funny to look back and see the progress I've made.

What seemed insurmountable, became achievable.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

What's one thing you're hoping to "get done" today?

What Hacker News links I clicked on today:

Running Costs of a SaaS app - https://cushionapp.com/running-costs/
Starting an ISP: http://chrishacken.com/starting-an-internet-service-provider/

Whoever wrote into https://justinjackson.ca/tell in Portuguese: yes! I'm reading it.

BTW – part of the feedback I received was to do more @natekontny & @MoreWillie style vlogs, so I'm trying it out! ☝️

Trying a new experiment: "Tell me anything"

😅

https://justinjackson.ca/tell/

In practice, it's way harder to provide people with a real benefit.

We BS our rationale: "oh yeah, this will help people."

Does it really?

OMG. Hire @avclark before someone else does!

Super talented front-end dev (also ace at WP)

Haha. Forgot I tweeted this. This is the glamorous life of a solopreneur:

Same as Evernote: could never get into it. Apple Notes works just fine. ;)

can't afford it,
doesn't appreciate it,
or is hard to reach.

@chase_reeves I started by asking: "What does he have in his hand?"

But what really got me into trouble was: "What else could go there?"

If you can win at SEO, you can build a brand without “personality."

However, when things get competitive, personality is a huge advantage.

Watching "Batteries Not Included" with my boys.

Is it as good as I remember?

Alright folks.

I'm gonna try to have a good day and write you some good tweets.

@gilesvangruisen @hnshah yes!

My thoughts here: https://justinjackson.ca/more-stuff-or-better-stuff/

@FredRivett vanity probably plays a role.

Sometimes it's genuine passion for the topic.

Regardless, without attention you can't do much.

Just published "Mega Wasted: Is business education a waste of time?" to @producthunt: https://www.producthunt.com/podcasts/megamaker-040-mega-wasted

Wow.

It's even harder to sell SaaS to teams in flat organizations.

Everyone has a say.

No clear decision maker.

Every popular movement creates space for a counter-movement to emerge.

Revenue per employee is only interesting if employees are generating 100% of the value.

Increasingly the value is in the tech + channels.

I know tweetstorms are supposed to follow a single thread.

But driving home tonight I had a bunch of random thoughts I'd like to share.

You can get customers from blogging & podcasting.

You just need to be patient. It takes multiple touchpoints.

I think SaaS is a great business model. I have equity in SaaS businesses.

But MRR ≠ unicorns + rainbows.

Just had an awesome Skype chat with @jamesvandyne. Really helped me clarify things. Thanks James! 🙌

(Pro tip: sometimes, talking helps)

We'll always be defensive about the way we make our living. It's really hard to look critically at the industry that's paying our bills.
