Euroleague Basketball joins the Serbian and global basketball community in mourning the passing of coaching legend Dusko Vujosevic, who died at the age of 67. Vujosevic devoted most of his illustrious coaching career — spanning more than five decades — to Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade. He first joined the club as an assistant coach in the mid-1980s before leading Partizan to the 1988 European Cup Final Four as head coach. Over four separate stints in charge, he guided the club to numerous successes, including a return to the EuroLeague Final Four in 2010. Under Vujosevic's leadership, Partizan won 12 domestic league championships, the 1989 Korac Cup title, and six Adriatic League championships. “European and Serbian basketball has lost one of its most passionate minds and devoted teachers. Dusko Vujosevic was a man of basketball, a mentor, and a symbol of integrity and dedication to the game. His influence shaped generations of players and coaches, leaving an indelible mark on our sport. On behalf of Euroleague Basketball, I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege to learn from him. His legacy will live on in every court, every team, and every young player who carries forward his love for basketball,” stated Euroleague Basketball President, Dejan Bodiroga. Beyond Partizan, Vujosevic coached an extensive list of clubs across Europe, including OKK Belgrade, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade, Radnicki Belgrade and Mladost Zemun in Serbia; Oximesa Granada in Spain; Brescia, Olimpia Pistoia and VL Pesaro in Italy; CSKA Moscow in Russia; Limoges CSP in France; and U-BT Cluj-Napoca in Romania. Vujosevic also left his mark on the international stage, serving as head coach of three national teams: U-18 Yugoslavia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Among his early coaching achievements, he led Yugoslavia to a gold medal at the 1988 FIBA European Championship for Juniors. In recognition of his impact on the game, he was voted by his peers as the Alexander Gomelsky EuroLeague Coach of the Year for the 2008–09 season. A moment of silence will be observed before today and Round 37 games´ to honor his memory and remarkable legacy. May his memory be a blessing.

Now that we’re done at YCombinator, we’re revealing how we went from 0 → $10k MRR in our first 30 days, using only ONE channel (step by step). We spent less than $100 and didn’t have any paid ads, SEO, waitlist, or content marketing. Instead, we sent 50-75 highly targeted cold emails a day. Cold email is the most underrated channel because it's hard to get right, but if you figure it out you can sell ANY B2B product. Here's what we did from start to finish: STEP 1: Build an ultra‑specific customer profile at both company and person level. If you do this right, you can mess everything else up and still succeed. The goal here is to create such a perfect customer, that if they heard about your solution they would have no choice but to say "tell me more". Step 2: Build your list After you create this customer profile, find the companies that meet this criteria. Find 30–50 target companies on LinkedIn, then grab decision‑maker emails via Apollo/Wiza. STEP 3: Writing a killer email I used to run an outbound email agency and we'd send 50k+ emails/month to book b2b sales calls via cold email. Here are the basic principles of cold email writing that I always use: -Keep it 5-8 sentences. 70%+ of emails are read on mobile, so make sure they get most of it from that screen view. - Never write more than 2 sentences without breaking up the lines. People skim, and that’s the best way to keep their attention - DO NOT talk about your product’s features. - Instead, talk about the person, their company, and their pain points. STEP 4: The call I took 493 sales calls in Origami’s first 3 months. Here's what I learned: The 2 biggest goals for this call are - Figuring out the customer’s problems - Getting the customer excited about your solution Unless you already have PMF, it doesn't matter if you have a full built product. You still need to spend 90%+ of your time figuring out what the customer actually needs. In the early stages, you can even offer a full refund if they aren’t satisfied to give them maximum confidence and get your first few deals over the line. STEP 5: Closing/After Congrats! You cracked cold email. This was the exact approach we used at Origami to get our first $10k MRR, and the highest converting outbound approach I’ve seen when I ran my agency. I posted the stats in my prior tweets, but in our first 40 days we sent 3119 emails (~77 per day) and got a 5.3% response rate, resulting in demos with 64 founders at companies within our ICP. This resulted in ~$22k new MRR by the time our sales for all of these calls had closed. The best part is that once you nail this process, you can automate it. We've got our Origami AI Agents (@origamichat) finding new customers 24/7, which frees us up to explore new channels and focus on scaling. CONCLUSION This is a very short version of my guide. The full guide I posted on X last year (@fin465) hit 800k impressions and 10k+ bookmarks. If you want me to DM it you, comment GUIDE.

It’s sort of ridiculous that a Series A company would be able to pull off a major conference with some of the very best speakers in AI infra at the Chase Center… but that’s exactly what @daytonaio did today. 👏👏 @ivanburazin and team.

Hey agency owners and GTM Engineers, let me save you 2 years. After building and scaling 2 SaaS to $1M ARR in < 1 year with LinkedIn, I documented the exact systems we run into one practical SOP database. It’s everything we still use internally every day to land hundreds of leads/ day. What’s inside: - DM setting SOPs - 300k weekly impressions commenting SOP - lead magnet distribution SOP - lead tracking & CRM system - setter scaling system (for agencies) If you want free access, comment “SOP” and I’ll send it over.

Has anyone moved internal company knowledgebase from Notion to Obsidian or similar? How did it go? Starting to think about how valuable it might be for Claude to have local (as in: fast) access to all internal documents

Ideja za aplikaciju za mobilni: TODO lista ali sa geofencing notifikacijama. Npr: kupiti 400g sira i veliku pavlaku u Lidlu. I onda kad si na 100m od Lidla, dobijes notifikaciju da te podseti da sta treba da kupis u toj radnji

@steipete I tried it year or two ago. For most of our teams it was a great fit. I think (not 100%) they didn't have graphql support, now i see they do, i'll revisit it. Really liked it.

Removing your landing page can sometimes make sense, but not always. Sometimes it boosts conversions, other times it lowers them. Landing pages have a purpose: they persuade and remove doubts. 1. User already convinced -> no landing 2. User discovering your product for the first time -> landing page The idea is to be 'intentional' when adding elements to your funnel to be sure to add value and not noise Very interesting!

I compared 2 of my LinkedIn posts today: 👉 Post A had better engagement ratios. 👉 Post B went viral. Here’s the teardown of how LinkedIn’s algorithm actually works, and what you need to hit at each stage 👇 Stage 1 – First-degree Connections (Your followers + direct connections.) LinkedIn looks at the first 30–60 minutes: - Comments per minute (5–10 early comments is a strong signal) - Dwell time (do people actually stop and read) - Mix of reactions (comments > likes) Target: 5–10 comments in 30 min 30–50 likes 10+ saves in the first hour 👉 Post A nailed engagement here, but all from my bubble. No portability = locked in Stage 1. Stage 2 – Second-degree Connections Friends-of-friends. This is where scale starts. LinkedIn wants portability signals: - Saves (people want to revisit) - Shares/Reposts (proof people spread it) - Sends in DMs - Comments from new people (outside your immediate circle) Target: 50–100 saves in 24h 5–10 reposts/sends 40–50 comments, with strangers showing up 👉 This is why frameworks, checklists, playbooks perform, they drive saves. Stage 3 – Third-degree Connections If strangers still engage, LinkedIn expands you into stranger feeds (third-degree). This is exponential → impressions snowball. My viral post: 249 comments 1,200+ saves +896 followers Target: 500+ saves (cumulative) 20+ reposts 100+ comments total, with visible strangers +50–100 new followers 👉 Once you hit this, LinkedIn “trusts” the post for everyone. What to do in practice Engineer 5–10 comments in the first 30 mins. Reply fast - every reply doubles comment velocity. Seed with people outside your bubble. Optimize for saves: playbooks, frameworks, checklists. Drop self-comments later to keep threads alive. ⚡️The playbook Virality on LinkedIn = 3 stages: Friends validate (5–10 early comments). Strangers save/share (portability). Network expansion (2nd/3rd-degree reach). 📌 Extra notes for posting strategy Warm up before posting: - Engage with ~7 posts (mix of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-degree connections). This primes your account and signals activity. - After posting: Spend 15–20 min engaging with 3rd-degree content only. It increases the chance strangers get pulled into your own post. - Keep the loop alive: Go back to yesterday’s posts and answer comments you missed. Every reply reactivates distribution. 🙋‍♀️ If you want to play this LinkedIn game with me, wave in the comments. I want to build a group that helps each other hit those first 30 min signals. I’ll also link my latest posts in the comments so you can see the live examples.

I’ve no idea how anyone uses an iPhone without haptic keyboard enabled. Just feels dead when typing. Why this is off by default? Android does this right.
