@saltnburnem Happy birthday my man! Have a great birthday weekend

I can’t believe I’m 40.

Can you believe it’s #webdayout week this week? Tomorrow, I’ll be debuting a new talk here in beautiful Brighton. Who’s gonna be here?

@cooperx86 Ahhhh fair! Best of a bad bunch haha.

@csswizardry At my office, within a 15 minute walk it's Starbucks, McDonald's (no), or a Costa machine in a petrol station (even bigger no) 😅 I prefer to make my own at home most of the time.

@StarbucksUK Can you clarify the best way to have sugar added to a drink ordered via app and picked up at drive thru? I know you can just ask at the window, but it seems odd you can customise everything *except* sugar in the app before that, and it wastes the barista's time.

@sergical It makes sense to me: more/deliberate effort to permanently turn the alarm off than a simple tap.

which PM at Apple decided that Alarm’s Snooze should be a tap and Stop should be a slide, you ngmi

@maxvoltar It’s pretty exuberant! I like it but it’s not like many pens I’ve used before. Bought it specifically to write a friend’s birthday card.

@csswizardry Let me know what you think!

New favorite pen: Uni-Ball Air (previously: Steadler .8mm pigment liner)

@samccone A moment for Molly ❤️

If you know you KNOW

Your phone contacts isn’t your data, it’s lots and lots and lots of other peoples’ data. I’m stunned that this feature was ever implemented anywhere. Giving everyone else’s phone numbers to a third party without their consent?! 🤯

@csswizardry This is the sort of stuff I find when I inherit projects 😂

Oh boy…

@rileycx @danmall Perhaps you wouldn’t! But the point still stands.

@csswizardry @danmall Then why would you spend your time helping the local restaurant?

Don’t ask your prospects what their budget is. Here’s why. There’s a concept in pricing psychology called a “price anchor.” The first number someone hears becomes the reference point for every number after it. For example: If I say “5” and then say “10,” you think 10 as compared to 5. Twice as much as 5. But if I say “20” and then say “10,” you think of 10 different. It‘s half as much as 20. Same number (10). Two different thoughts about it. When you ask a client for their budget, their number becomes the anchor. Now every price you share gets compared to it. Since your price will almost always be higher, they’ll think: ↳ “That‘s 10% more than we planned,” or ↳ ”That’s double what we expected,” or ↳ ”That’s way over budget.” None of those thoughts help you. So, forget all the negotiation advice you’ve heard about “letting the client go first.” If you care about how your price is perceived, make sure you’re the first to say a number.

@rileycx @danmall The exact same work is worth different amounts to different companies. It’s not a tax, it’s a lever. A week of my time helping a local restaurant is far less valuable than the same week helping a multinational ecommerce firm. Outputs, not inputs.

@danmall what if you go a step further: just put the price on your website

@flarup Left. Right feels like a themed online casino type set—sorry.

Which set feels like a well-crafted, professional, premium app suite?

When you see things like this, use this: csswizardry.com/max-age/?value… You’re welcome!

@kenwheeler @levelsio It’s basically France.

@csswizardry @levelsio is that like essex or something

@kenwheeler @levelsio Have you ever been to OG Jersey? I’m not sure how you’d take to it 😂 Or if they’re prepared.

@levelsio lol new jersey already exists
