I made an email-only todo list called Dobby [1] You send your tasks to dobby@dobbymail.com, and it'll send you a todo list every morning. You can reply to complete, postpone etc. The point is to not have a separate place for seeing and

For anyone interested in this, I highly recommend the book The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, a psychiatrist who studies PTSD. He writes about this clearly and elegantly—must read for those dealing with anxiety, and certainly

Hi all, solo founder of Shuffleboard here. Basically my philosophy on synchronous meetings is 1) they should happen as little as possible, especially in remote teams 2) when they do need to happen, they should be structured and timed, and e

I do--it slows down the work because of the effort of finding big blocks of time to record, but when I'm recording I know I'm on the clock to hit my goal. Basically I know I need to have a worthwhile video title, so I can't f

I'm making all these remote meetings suck less with a real-time collaborative idea board. The idea is that you can set up a meeting agenda, get everyone to add ideas, then discuss, vote and get consensus quickly: https://get

Thanks! Yeah it's almost an insane amount of video, but I've made it fairly easy to skip to the interesting parts if you want to see them. We'll see how it goes :)

Yeah, it's normally a pretty basic task--in this case I was working with Firestore, which required a special nested structure to be able to write the security rules I needed. A week is a bit of an exaggeration anyway--it's a coupl

Funny how we say Goldman "is ensnarled in scandal" rather than " perpetuated a vast fraud". Almost makes it sound as if the real news isn't their reprehensible actions , but the fact that they got caught! (Or even

Exactly. The issue isn't that he made a choice, it's that he made a different choice first--not too long ago--and made it public. Sure, walk back a commitment if it's the right thing to do--but your employees/investors w

This article equates “exciting work” with “9-5 job at BigCo”. After going independent, my impact has only gotten bigger and my work more interesting and engaging. Write and share what you’ve learned, consult, do OSS, be an “emeritus”, work
