@apenwarr Cross cloud is ideal for startups too from a cost perspective running prod workloads on a large provider while operating dev in more cost effective ones. I’ve implemented Tailscale now at 5 companies using this. The product is incredible.

Technically I paid people to dig into it and then I wrote the blog post and got all the credit. Someone else published the blog post

Last year, we noticed Tailscale was pretty popular with AI companies. But we didn't know why! @apenwarr dug in and discovered that, cutting-edge tech aside, their networking needs are surprisingly normal. tailscale.com/blog/ai-normal

What are some interesting companies in the consumer privacy + security space? I've always loved this space. DuckDuckGo (search), VPNs, Delete Me. Things like that. Always fascinate me. What interesting new companies in this space? I wanna geek out.

The easiest way to start a SaaS is by entering a crowded market with BIG competitors. No need to validate, just: - build and launch - be more affordable - ship features faster - listen to every user you get

The past 10 years I made companies $2.4 billion by fixing one piece of their business: Their pricing. Why'd they need me? Because even the smartest people don't know how their pricing strategy should change over time. So here's the exact pricing path to follow for growth 👇

Reminder: If you avoid even the potential for embarrassment, mistakes, failure, humiliation, or ridicule, you are really avoiding the potential for success. Vow to stick your neck out in 2023. It's worth every bit of ridicule to get the win.

@fuolpit @Tailscale How did you get the @Tailscale swag? I’m a huge tailscale fan. Been with them now about a year and a half with multiple accounts.

@SnazzyQ Ignore my previous question. I was googling to it everytime or searching support. Nah, it's right on the homepage. Thanks! Great video again

@SnazzyQ Watched your retrofit video, it was great. Where did you find the unifi planning tool? I'm planning for my home and all I find is the generic, how many sq ft type planner. Would be great to upload floor plans

@Conaw @BringInTheNew @patrickc This is great. Love what you all are doing.

@BringInTheNew @patrickc Yeah that’s the change

Just to be perfectly clear, @RoamResearch we don’t want use you private notes to learn about you - AT ALL. Only reason normal graphs don’t have E2EE across the board is because combining that w multiplayer is A) A hard design problem B) A hard engineering problem And C)...

Yet another note-taking app raises a $5.6M seed. Let's read the TechCrunch article and try to figure out why Oh, that's why

@lucacarettoni @flowfoot @ZFleischmann At the low end of that spectrum it’s not that difficult. I feel like more hurdles come around 3M and up. I’ve worked at a few 1-3M companies with 3-5 people.

English

Luca Carettoni@lucacarettoni·11 Nis

@flowfoot @ZFleischmann All very mindful but it’s just a pragmatic problem of scale. I do run a small business and have many friends on the same boat. It’s simply difficulty to have such profit with 3 people only. Bootstrapped companies that manage to do that are exceptions

Zakk@0xZakk·9 Nis

I love the idea of small but mighty companies * Team of 1-3 * $1-10m/year * <40 hour weeks for everyone A company doesn't have to be massive to be great

@drgurner I am using a tablet but have switched to remarkable tablets. I no longer have scroll and the technique feels like paper. I have noticed retention is greatly improved vs other digital methods and saves the time from digital conversion later.

English

Dr. Julie Gurner@drgurner·31 Mar

Fun fact: I take all client notes with paper and pen for this reason, and write a summary in a doc later for this reason. It sticks. It's one small thing that makes the work better, and is worth the effort. I remember the details - they're important.

Koenfucius 🔍@koenfucius

Pen and paper > screen? fMRI study finds better recall in people taking notes the old-fashioned way than with tablet and stylus, thanks to paper’s fixed position vs continuous scrolling. This sounds more plausible to me than I initially thought. buff.ly/311oVcp HT @peguha
