I love traveling solo, but sometimes I wonder if I am too good at it and am therefore bad at traveling with friends now.

I wrote a comprehensive post dispelling many incorrect assumptions about Copyleft vs Permissive open source licenses.

If you author/contribute to open source code, it's worth reading and understanding these nuances!

Anyone out there with a YT channel with over 100K subscribers in a tech niche?

I'm working on the @microconf.com YouTube strategy (www.youtube.com/@microconf) and would love to have someone to run quick questions on strategy by.

Consultant recommendations welcome too!

Planning an event for @tinyseed.com founders/community and I'm glad that, because it's not a public event, I can use ridiculous illustrations like this to make people laugh.

Enjoy the beach in your suits, folks!

Such fun!!! Thanks for having me MicroConf. Such an awesome group to talk to ❤️

Next stop: Türkiye 🇹🇷 see you there @tracyosborn.com

@snook.ca Totally agree re: your "comments were a mistake" post, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. They really contributes to the community divide we have now, and has made divisive opinions seem more "the norm" and thus attracting followers rather than staying isolated.

I've gotten an opportunity to use Webflow for work and goodness, is this a cool product. 🙌

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

Feels like the conference world has been upended in the last few years.

Which conferences do you go to and why? (Bonus if they're marketing or SaaS focused.)

And if you used to go to conferences and don't anymore, would love to know why as well!

@tylertringas.com Hey, FYI for your email form on the www.bkup.nyc website. :)

Looking forward to this, I'm often in Brooklyn and love to rock climb (well, not well, but with much enthusiasm!) 🧗‍♀️
