@LefterisJP I think they mean
Mutter 🌳 = Mutter Nature = Mother Nature

@destraynor That talk is so good still. A workshop I attended two years ago referenced it and I’ve been since sharing it with all product people I know
English
One thing about growing old(er?) that I didn't expect, but i do love, is seeing people who were inspired by the books, talks, blog-posts etc. go on to have frankly stellar careers. Cool to see!
(e.g. the talk they reference here is ~10 years old)

For daily product work I now just iterate on the wireframe stage (Excalidraw) and then go straight to code.
I use Figma only for visual details like choosing icons and colors or when working on fundamental look and feel (design system).
andrew pignanelli@ndrewpignanelli
Figma is incredibly important. It allows you to think and prototype UI/UX quickly. Coding doesnt enable even 1/5 the speed of figma of iteration on this. You need to be able to try stuff. Throw things away. See how it looks. You can always tell when someone skipped this step and went straight to code.

@martinrariga @heyequals Have you considered localization? In some cultures (eg. East Asia) they don’t have this red->green schema for bad->good but rather blue->red.
English
Not all growth is good. You can now customize whether positive is green or red in @heyequals dashboards.

@makwarth Surprisingly it seems there isn’t any tool that’s good at both the CRM and the in-app support stuff. Probably because it’s traditionally separate roles that deal with those?
A bit like how there used to not be a single tool good at feature flags AND adoption tracking ;)
English
What's the best B2B SaaS stack for:
① CRM
② Sending emails based on CRM attributes
③ In-app chat and email support
...?
We picked Hubspot in the early days (single tool was appealing) but it's time to upgrade as it's just not good enough for ① and ③.

@thilokonzok @uncommon @bradflora I understand a free demo must be very limited but it seemed like a bug that I cannot do anything (1. Enter description 2. Signin with Google 3. Buy now?); at this point I don’t understand what I’d be buying.
English
@graycoding @uncommon @bradflora Yes, token cost for the very best models to generate 1000+ ideas is quite high but its the only way we can actually ensure this high quality of names. Sadly that means we can't offer a free plan yet
English
we're launching @uncommon names today (for those that don't have @bradflora in their slack).
it finds the ideal name for your company across 1000+ ideas, makes sure the domain is available and presents you the 10 best.
it’s 7+/10 good today, definitely good enough to use. we remain impressed internally and its already better than me at finding great names with available domains.

People often wonder how startups came up with their names. In Greptile's case, it was brainstorming on slack with YC partner @bradflora during the batch. "You could add some stuff after grep to make a new word" "What do you think of greptile.com?" "but is it a multi billion dollar public company? $GREP?" "$GREP would be sick ticker. Sick"
English
@thilokonzok @uncommon @bradflora Also I thought it guided me to “pick a name” but instead it picked one for me and I cannot change it?
English
@thilokonzok @uncommon @bradflora I cannot see any results without paying? Every link directs me to this page.
English
@blvdmitry Yeah, agreed. Like in Sentry I can mark an issue as “resolved in next version”
English
I really wish there was an option on GitHub to schedule the your comment reply and resolving to the next pushed commit. It always feels weird to resolve them and hope the reviewer won't check it before you push it all together

When you take bus number 2 in 🇪🇪Tallinn (the one that goes to the airport), it’s often full with Germans.
For some reason, there’s always someone who emits some stress.
Perceived slights (you bumped into me!), anxieties (we’re gonna be late!) etc.
Why can’t Germans chill out?

The real power in Zod Codecs is that they’re composable. You can create complex codecs like Query > Expression > LookupPath to decode a string into an IR with just one call to Query.parse(str) – and vice-versa.
A bit like React components for data!
Paul Grau@graycoding
Great, this was one of the things I really enjoyed about Effect.Schema. Was using Zod alongside Effect for this but might port my Effect code to Zod now to only use one.

@kianbazza What utilities do you need? The stuff people used lodash for is mostly just available in modern JS now. So general purpose utility libs are not as common anymore.
English
What's the go-to utility library in JS nowadays?
◇ lodash
◇ es-toolkit
◇ remeda
◇ ...something else?
Get me up-to-speed, haven't used one in a while.
