How does this fantastic video by the great @nachristakis.bsky.social only have 290 views www.youtube.com/watch?v=te2O... !?!! At 2m47s he talks about the amount of time he can sometimes personally spend on crafting emails. I won't spoil it here, but I felt seen! So ridiculously great.

I am so glad to learn you are in this secret club of emailers. ;-)

I'm pretty sure I've spent 4 hours thinking about how to craft an email for you specifically!! :D

But did @nachristakis.bsky.social then take 24 minutes to read it?

This is hilarious on both your accounts. I read EVERYTHING Sune writes with great care.

PS I realize that the insane amount of time I spend on emails (and the power-law distribution of time I spend on each one) probably isn't representative of everyone one this site, so pre-apologies if you watch the video and don't feel the same 😅

PPS I also feel weird about posting a light, fun email into a 2026 feed of doom. As if it's somehow inappropriate. But I decided to go ahead anyway - we also need a bit of lightness once in a while.
