@joetannenbaum Yup! That’s one of @TransistorFM’s podcast website themes that @joshuaanderton built. 💯

@joetannenbaum I agree!

@nathanbarry @ConvertKit Counterpoint: most ideas aren’t that good.

@benjamingaines Being in the trenches almost always leads to more understanding and empathy.

Especially around the emotional stakes of doing “the thing.” https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1761803907045507574

@fraserdeans Lately, I've been influenced by @taragentile's exploration of empathy:

https://www.whatworks.fyi/p/decoding-the-language-of-empathy

"Empathy is always constructed. We remain separate from the object of our empathy, never knowing whether what we perceive as a shared feeling reflects the emotional landscape of the…

I think customer interviews can be enormously helpful.

But I've noticed that folks who interview customers miss signals they would have picked up if they'd previously done what the customer is trying to do.

The point is that when you've been doing something for a long time, you start to recognize hundreds of small improvements that could make the experience better.

That kind of insight only comes from being in the trenches. You can't fake it or quickly reproduce it.

This differs from "solve your own problem" in that you're not just fixing a specific thing that's not working for you.

Instead, it's an intuitive sense of how the overall experience could be better for everybody trying to do that thing.

@ericlbarnes Nope.

“The average Canadian home price was $659,395 in January 2024, a 0.3% monthly increase and up 7.7% year-over-year.Feb 17, 2024”

@meemodoteth Yup, I’m familiar with his experiments!

What parts of those experiments do you think are relevant to this discussion?

@ericlbarnes I’d say house prices in North Carolina are much lower than most places on the west coast!

(Also: your POV on house prices seems highly correlated to when you bought!)

@KarenUnland, I love how you've articulated the importance of journalism here! 👏

@andrewshell My understanding is that as they "left the cloud," they first migrated the old legacy apps to their new on-prem infrastructure.

However, these legacy apps are all still hosted SaaS applications and are still available to legacy users.

So, I don't think your points/questions…

@CasJam Yess!! Was hoping for a new episode today.

I was born in 1980, which technically makes me Gen X (1965–1980). 😮

@chrisjarling Oh this is wonderful; thanks for sharing it!

I'm going to read the whole thing now.

@stephenrobles You can listen to @stephenrobles and @JasonAten discuss this in more detail on their podcast, "Primary Technology:"

@hubermanlab @FoundersPodcast @davidrosenthal @AcquiredFM In the same way that we're seeing the startup/VC world transition to valuing companies that are sustainable, profitable, and cash-flow positive, over in the media world, we're seeing independent brands (like @MrBeast) outcompeting traditional large (funded) media plays.

@webby2001 Thanks Tom! 🙏

@RaulOnRails @dagorenouf That’s not hosted software.

@dagorenouf Can you think of a “pay-once, self-hosted” software product that does this?

@EmmettNaughton @calebporzio Worth checking out!

His retelling of this adventure was especially real:

@successfulsw You sell software that people have to host on their own server?

@steveofmcleod Yup - and I don’t think most customers want it either!

@Lucas_Shaw @SmartLess @ashleyrcarman My guess is this is one of the few big acquisitions we'll see happen in 2024.

Spotify has said they're hitting the brakes on more podcast spending.

Neither Google nor Apple have made big (~$100m) acquisition bets on podcasting yet.

Amazon hasn't been doing much lately.
