What are some writing hot takes? 🥵

Here are a few of mine (in no particular order).

1️⃣ Learn the rules so that you know when—and how—to break them.

2️⃣ "Irregardless" should not be a word.

3️⃣ The Oxford comma is critical. Use it.

"Come meet Jane, a clown and a thief" states that Jane is a […]

YouTube cracking down on AI slop = opportunity for authentic creators

I don't know who needs to hear this, but writing things like "Don't hallucinate" or "Write clean code" don't automatically make LLMs ("AI") produce accurate—or optimal—results.

P.S. I wrote with em dashes long before LLMs and will continue to do so.

Thank […]

It might not be my "job" to fix the internet, but I do feel a responsibility to improve it—even if just a bit. For everyone's sake.

Social media is notorious for its "black box" algorithms, so it's interesting to see LinkedIn share—publicly—some tips about increasing your reach.

If you're in social media, it's nothing new:
1. Post
2. Comment on other posts (a.k.a. "be active")
3. Use […]

Entrepreneurs don't struggle with identifying problems, they struggle with determining which one(s) to pursue first.

That, and with buying a thousand domain names. (Speaking for a friend) 🥴

We're virtually at the point where running an OEM operating system is on the same level of inadvisable as using a web browser without ad blocking.

It's easy for me to say "use GrapheneOS," but unfortunately, that involves a level of complexity that creates […]

Native payments for SwapMyOS is back (finally)! 😅

My MoR mistakenly deleted my store when merging accounts, and it took 3+ months to restore it...

Wonder how many sales I lost. 🙃

Do you consider building with AI the same as building without code?

Short answer: I think it's nuanced.

With AI, sure—you're building without code. But when you build with no-code tools, you do need to have an understanding of the logic and what you're […]

Been using Airtable for a long time now, so I thought I'd finally make it official (again): I'm Airtable certified.

I love working with relational databases. For some reason, they've always "clicked" in my brain. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Bring me some Airtable projects […]

I built my first computer when I was 9. Stopped doing that around 12, but I never stopped tinkering with hardware and software.

This week, I found an old laptop with Windows on it.

I had been wanting to use Linux for the longest, so here we go.

Any tips or […]
