@PodcastMovement Build your SaaS

(@buildyoursaas)

@michaeldyrynda Yessss

@_swanson @stauffermatt @LaravelPodcast @taylorotwell I’ll send you one!

@adamwathan NICE

@jhooks 🙏

@swaycopy Yes. The ability to consume and then consider what you’ve consumed; so key.

@mjwhansen @tinyrevver @northroadben It's interesting how you categorized these in a JTBD way!

"Help me to think about my life differently."

"Help me be a better manager."

"Give me a diversion while I eat lunch."

@DavidVII @matter Yeah, I need to get back to reading books!

@warsh33p Thanks!

@BurtDS @TransistorFM 🎉🙌

@RoxCodes Congrats! 🎉

@GladeOptics wanted to try Glade goggles this year, but the shipping to Canada is $$$ (1/4 of the total price).

@cgenco 😮

Very sci-fi

I saw people posting about this, so I tested it out.

When you search "sam altman" on Google, the cached bio says he was going to run for President?!?

@CasJam This looks good!

Can customers create flows like this as well?

@jmckinven @CasJam @JordanGal @jayclouse Yeah, it’s just “ok.” But, it’s the best I’ve found so far.

@adampatterson Wild!

@jmduke Glad it resonated. Thanks for sharing it! 🙌

@JoeCassandra Father of 4 here. Great thread.

From our experience kids do get way more expensive as they grow up (activities, clothes, food, need for bigger house, college).

@adamwathan Amazing. I still need to see them.

@leenyburger This!!

In my 20s, I got really curious about the psychology behind “why people buy,” and I’ve been pursuing that curiosity for over 20 years now.

Is there a particular piece of psychology that really interests you?

@CasJam Our local newspaper does a pretty good job of profiling all the candidates during a municipal election.

The chamber of commerce also hosts a debate that’s uploaded to YouTube.

I’ve still found I need to do a lot of digging: speaking to people, emailing the candidates directly,…

@mariepoulin 😍

@rickfoe @lkr Exactly this.☝️

@theDanielJLewis @hotpodmedia @arshapiro90 @PodcastIndNews The NYT had multiple sources on that number. We'll never know for sure, but my guess is it's pretty close.

@AcquiredFM 🤣🤣🤣

@jclermont @TransistorFM @op3dev 🙌 thank you!

@jclermont @TransistorFM Super tricky to do.

If there was a good way to do it, we would!

One thing that might be possible in the future is to connect to something like @op3dev.

@jmckinven For me personally, setting up our little coworking arrangement has been the ultimate work setup. 👍 https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1643752532341329921

Is that true…

@Askemoon https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1718741149664550956

@Espen_Antonsen @arvidkahl Yup. I heard that repeatedly from different people at @FullStackEU.

@markbowley The challenge (for North America and Europeans countries) is that so much of this depends on cultivating a culture that supports entrepreneurship and a better lifestyle.

Getting the mix right is not easy!

@heyjoshwood @FounderQuest Whaaaaaaaaat. Omg yes!

@JackEllis It really is.

Are you Canada for life?

@marcjeanson Wow! What were the things that made you want to move here?

@mjwhansen I'm glad the media is still paying attention (the WSJ especially).

@jcvangent 😮 I did not know that!

I need to go back to Cologne and check that out.

@twigpress What are the parts you like about it?

“Business is like surfing”

https://justinjackson.ca/surfing

👏👏👏 As developers, we can think about the energy use and carbon emissions related to the cloud services we use.

Totally agree with @ericapisani: this is something we all need to be thinking and acting on.

#fseu23

@najbo73 @BurtDS @FullStackEU It’s a small independent company, built and launched by one person or a very small team, without the backing of a large company, and often without venture funding.

The founders in this space are often very independent, and want to build a company on their own terms.

@ericapisani @FullStackEU Hahaha. Yup. I was going to ask @arvidkahl about his experience going from Germany to Canada.

@czue @plehoux I think we’ve done a fairly good job of optimizing Transistor for fun.

@joasdb Thank you!

@DCoulbourne @MostlyTechPod …and Taylor Otwell.

For me personally, every thread I've woven into my life (experiences, projects, events, skills, relationships, jobs) culminated in me founding @transistorfm with Jon.

Transistor became a success largely because of the actions we took in the past.

@jmduke I've been trying @pocketcasts lately (switching from Overcast). I like it!

@jessjoyce @PivotPod Nice! Which app do you use while you're at your desk? @Spotify on the web? @ApplePodcasts on your phone?

@CasJam Oooh. I'm a huge Paul Simon fan (have you listened the paid podcast of his on @pushkinpods? It's excellent)

I'm going to check this episode out!
