Writing is an increasingly important skill in tech. Poor writing can hamper career progression, above a certain level.
I wrote about tactics for more clear, more frequent, and more confident writing. Read it here:

If you introduce annual subscription in your service, please-please-please send emails to customer before charging them in 12 mo. Good stories about your service are better than faked retention metrics.

Comic Mono looks surprisingly good. Also let’s not forget, Comic Sans helps people with dyslexia: thecut.com/2020/08/the-reaso…
Comic Sans has no right to look this good. Comic Mono:

Based on github.com/shannpersand/comi… which also looks surprisingly good.

Looks like a proper terminal for 2021!
Excited to come out of stealth and share what we've been working on:
Warp is a blazingly fast, Rust-based terminal for the modern age.
With Warp, you get

It's weird to think about people in terms of "cofounding quality" tho.

Paul Graham wrote yesterday about writing simply: paulgraham.com/simply.html
Another example of simplicity is that very website: layout build with tables, pixel.gif as spacer. I wonder how he deploys it.

The Kremlin authorities gladly
Took Mr. Navalny in, sadly.
They’d wanted him dead

He lived and embarrassed them badly.
Work from home without Slack feels a little bit like a stone age, and I don't like that feeling. Work process has be different and shouldn't depend on realtime collab tools that much.

💯 Autoload is the worst idea in Rails design. So much pain with supporting big apps, so many problems with namespaces and constant resolving.
And long list of requires is a nice hint that this class owns too much.
It's amusing to see that someone believes that explicit imports in Ruby would be a bad idea ruby3.dev/syntax-and-metapro… I guess they never tried to do static analysis in Ruby, or read their own code 6 months after they wrote it for that matter. :-)

My ex-colleagues are building product analytics service for quite a while, and yesterday they finally announces it! Looking forward for a beta! Go Intercom Mafia 🎉
Today we're announcing @JuneDotSo - The most simple product analytics for teams.
June isn't simply a better way of running analytics. It's different: opinionated and streamlined. We think it’s a redo of product analytics, the way it should be.
