Jason Lengstorf

quick (re)intro: I'm Jason, I make tv for developers at @codetv.dev & I love teaming up with devtools companies and individual devs to make unique, memorable projects - custom video - event installations - devrel / marketing strategy & campaigns I want to work with you! details: jason.energy/links

new adventure: I worked as 1st AC on a narrative short film over the weekend, which gave me an excuse to sit WAY too close to the screen (in your face, Mom!)

texting the group chat, “I wasn’t mad at dinner I just had a tummyache”

I'm going to be in Portland this week Wednesday-Friday for 👨‍💻 @codetv.dev with @cmgriffing.bsky.social Who can help me out with some awesome recs? I'm looking for: - great food - great coffee - some scenic running routes in the 5-15km range - other recs so I have an excuse to stay for the weekend

There are only a few US brands left that still taste like actual chocolate and boy howdy will you pay a premium for that. Sincerely, Someone who bakes a lot of chocolate chip cookies and makes maybe the best hot chocolate you've ever had.

that’s a wrap on The Cold Start! I had an absolute blast. huge thanks to everyone who joined the live audience and to @cloudflare.social for trusting us to kick off Connect this year. watch this space for the replay to drop soon!

Pregame for tomorrow’s challenge! 😆 Y’all better be rooting for team short stack AKA the troll twins 👹👹 Thank you for the opportunity @codetv.dev AKA @jason.energy ❤️❤️ CC: @thebethanyann.bsky.social @sterlingchin.bsky.social

sometimes I get in my head about the world and I get sad, and then I have a dinner with a group of people and I remember the internet is an anger/despair amplifier and I feel better

something I don't like about the current state of tech is how things are actively moving to secret/unwritten rules in an effort to prevent AI from gaming systems. backchannels have always been a thing (both good and bad) but feels like they're becoming the ONLY option

realizing that my superpower is that I’m an Ideas Guy who also loves spreadsheets

"I love to dance, and I LOVE going to bed on time!" cries my good lady wife @marisamorby.com upon discovering a dance party that starts at 6pm

do I know anyone who works with Replit frequently? I've got a time-sensitive project coming up that I'm casting for — looking for a team of US-based devs to participate. please hit me up and tag people you know who might be a fit!

this wave of buddybots (Muse, etc.) was such a genius strategy for the data mining companies to work around ad blockers

I make a job at the end of this thread but it's a good thread from Jason on why focus helps you ship quality features versus chasing the smell of cheese

You see, the simple solution is just do everything right. Make no mistakes. Then success just happens and all the problems are solved.

I would be an immense asset to just about any media production or broadcast team. 8 years in radio, 1 as an accidental IT manager; my podcast Digital Folklore hit #16 on Apple's 'Top Shows' chart in all categories, I've won 3 awards for radio commercials; I know how audio works down to electricity.

your career is a pie-eating contest where the prize for winning is more pie
