This guy runs a podcast. It's his six year anniversary. So he asks ChatGPT who he should have on and why, and then he does a thread tagging people like me @kentbeck, @lethain, etc with the reasons. This is a great example of something I just wrote about: charity.wtf
Quoting @onejasonknight @mipsytipsy - you should come on One Knight in Product to talk about AI mandates, engineering productivity, management and what happens when coding gets cheap.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember the nearly 3,000 people who were killed, including 67 Britons. My thoughts are with all those who lost friends and family members that terrible day. Time may pass, but I know the grief is still felt just as deeply today. On this anniversary, we must remember that hatred and fear did not have the last word on 9/11. The terrorists sought to weaken and divide America, and everyone who believes in the values our countries share. But our response was clear: those who seek to destroy our way of life will never win. I saw that same defiance in Greater Man… America Related

I’m invested in 241 companies and have yet to see a successful startup get there by hiring a growth hacker. Growth is the responsibility of the founder(s) in every one of the dozens of @tinyseedfund companies growing quickly and doing 7 or 8-figures of ARR. Quoting @andruyeung After investing in 20+ companies, the most impactful first hire I've seen a founder make is a growth hacker type person who can figure out distribution.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
