Feb 15 Twitter! We (@editmodelabs) are exiting beta and are looking for more 5 - 50 person companies that are using something non-typical (e.g. @airtable or something else) to manage their product copy (react/rails/react-native). Know anyone? https://t.co/vOPhtLAX9l 12 6 0 0 260 .

Feb 10 Today's progress - going over what we've done in the last couple of weeks to map out the journey of a request, with colour coding. Still missing a few pieces - goal is to be able to explain all of the concepts needed to navigate a rails codebase in two or three simple diagrams. https://t.co/ArxTCMqqxf 4 0 0 0 302 .

Jan 29 Digging a bit deeper, they’re either legitimately the exact opposite of their name, or catastrophically bad at communicating. If they halted trading because of regulatory requirements, why not just say that outright, rather than half-implying it in a tweet thread and blog post. https://t.co/JtgvaQxUz7 0 0 0 0 302 .
Jan 28 This is a great short thread. TIL “GameStop was actually in a great financial position; they weren't going broke! In fact, they had a lot of cash-in-hand, enough to pay off all their debts” https://t.co/Ojk6qFLEsN 5 0 0 0 214 .
Jan 28 People having more options for their primary source of meaning = 👍 Work life replacing friend/family/ community life as the *default* primary source of meaning = 👎 - I don’t know that this is happening in all industries but it seems like a trend in tech for sure. https://t.co/q4df5m07sK 2 0 0 0 289 .

Jan 19 This was a complete pie in the sky idea when I tweeted it - the clear barrier being upskilling the non-developer, but 4 weeks later and @harshal_kokane is building and wiring tailwind views inside a @replit hosted rails app and I think we actually might be on to something here. https://t.co/NmNl8DOJwe 5 2 0 0 303 .

Jan 18 In my experience those who want to live longer are those who live, or aspire to live, rich, connected lives. Those who are happy to plug in and live on auto pilot tend not to want that so much. Coincidence? https://t.co/CC6rP4mV7l 2 0 0 0 230 .

Dec 30 @Mqsley Yeah I’d say more likely. You’d have to invest a decent amount in integrations from day one. That said that’s a reasonably narrow and replicable technical task. Seems like something that’s inevitable in time, just needs conviction and the right timing. 0 0 0 0 260 .

Dec 27 @jwahdatehagh @bentossell @thisiskp_ I’ll write about it separately, but they’ve spent a lot of time on the UI layer and made the relational database close to as intuitive as it can be for some not familiar with relational databases.

Dec 05 @Julian There are definitely some scenarios where stating an alternative take can be additive, but picking a side and saying why your side is better, in a way that cuts like a knife is very rarely it. I think you should reword that one, but up to you of course 😁 0 0 0 0 262 .
Dec 05 @Julian Love your guides but I don't think people should optimize for (3). Long term people are wise to selfishness, which is what (3) is. You're sacrificing overall civility on the platform, making it worse for everyone, in exchange for followers. 1 0 0 0 248 .

Nov 30 Love this. The @editmodelabs version: Copy doesn’t belong in a codebase.

Nov 27 Hey @Cloudflare you've built an incredible product which I'd love to build my new business on. We're bootstrapped rn - is there any other way we could work together that doesn't require such heavy up-front cost (min $3k/mo) for the single feature (custom cache keys) we need? 😁 6 0 0 0 277 .
