i put out a notebook at the office as a guest book where i ask coworkers and visitors to write their name and share their favorite website(s) and it’s very clear that our relationship to the web has become largely just work and doom scrolling - everyone has been exclaiming how hard it actually is to come up with a cool site to share

a coworker yesterday had asked me about teens sympathizing with bin laden and i was like “hmmmm i haven’t been as online this week but also i don’t buy that for a second” anyway @ryanbroderick does a great job here explaining why you’s need to be a lot more skeptical of “trends” like that as well as the scale of reach on today’s internet https://www.garbageday.email/p/tiktok-teens-arent-stanning-osama

are you going to developer meetups these days? if so, what incentivizes you, what do you like to experience, what format is interesting to you? what kind of developer meetup would you be interested in attending?

[note: i am not interested in replies about why you don’t go to them, respectfully, i am just doing some discovery]

we need to normalize recognizing that Coke Zero and Diet Coke are two very different drinks, not alternatives or dupes of each other. it’s like apple or orange juice

companies don’t build for users, they build for the shareholders. and the shareholders don’t use what companies build, nor do they talk to users.

i don’t know how to fix this, but framing the challenge this way has given me ideas and decisions to consider vs fully losing hope which many of us have exhaustively been fighting.
