Updates from April
Welcome to spring, bona fide and humid. Lots of writing this month:
- I wrote about spending the past two years as an independent technologist.
- On the media side of things: brief words on Murderville (meh), The Parallax View (incredible), This is Personal (meh), Cribsheet (solid!).
- Lots of microblogging: on friction logs, on AI hype, on Stripe Sessions '24, on career growth, on Seattle, on closed-source.
In other, non-writing news:
- We launched Buttondown's new docs, the third iteration in eight years (the first being Notion, the second being what this new iteration is replacing.) This was largely Ben's project, and he's publishing a blog post more formally today or tomorrow on it; I'm really happy with how it turned out.
- Went to MicroConf. Still need to write up some notes; I had a great time.
- Busy, busy, busy. The next four months are gonna fly by.
