Sad to see it go.

@suanyeo @EricGombrich @mattwensing 🎯

@EricGombrich @mattwensing It applies in the B2B context more than we think it does. (But perhaps less so in Enterprise sales, I don't have much experience there)

As mentioned in my post, many companies switched to Slack for emotional reasons (rather than functional).

The decision for a business to do FB ads seems innocuous enough, but it means:

- Installing a tracking pixel everywhere on your site
- You need a FB accnt to manage your ads 😫
- Spending lots of $$$ and time learning to optimize your ads

For me, the cons outweigh the benefits.

@chris__sev @usefathom Hey! Curious how you're using Fathom + Google Ads.

@DanielZarick @dvassallo 💯 this is the way.

"Willingness to pay" is another variable: not everyone can (or wants) to pay upfront.

Men: which Pedro style would you wear?

@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

@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.

@aminblm 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. 👍

@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…

@noahwbragg Notably, @aarondfrancis isn’t really going “all in” (which I think is healthy).

He’s still working a full-time job until his side-business has proven it can support him and his family.
