On this Day of Primes, remember our complicity in labor inequality. And maybe read @vivaharehills.bsky.social's book "Cyberboss".

Plus, listen to me and @ronbronson.com on @futureperfectbook.club discussing that very book and some of its implications.

Thinking a lot about the exercise of 'repair' and how too often, the conversations always devolve into what we're building, what we're designing and not what we're fixing or maintaining. I'm constantly reworking and iterating on how we talk about "the work" and this framing is often absent

There are lots of non-tech companies ostensibly operating in the public interest/trust layer of society, using third party tools to make your life miserable and because it's all interoperability middleware, it's no one's job to call bullshit.

Alas, we'll keep moving at this velocity of harm.
An example of what I mean when I say everyday consumer interactions for basic needs are hostile.

A utility company services 8 million ppl in my state.

They changed payment platforms. Just changed.

Every customer has to create a new account, Re-enter payment info, set up billing, auto draft

Took a bit but we recorded episode 3 today. @joelgoodman.co says it’ll be out on Wednesday.

Talking “Careless People” by Sarah Wynn-Williams… or at least ideas it raised.

In non-FPBC news, @joelgoodman.co talks #HigherEdMarketing on someone else's pod. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you want to hear me talk about #HigherEd and what I think we get wrong in #HEMarCom + how we should fix it... I think this was a great conversation on the EdTech Connect Podcast. And we really get into it.

Releasing this first episode is taking a bit longer than planned while @joelgoodman.co sorts out our sound design (and writes a theme song), but we promise our debut thoughts on @vivaharehills.bsky.social's book 'Cyberboss' will be out shortly. Thanks for sticking with us!
