Yes on 50 💪

At Kinference, truth bombs being dropped.

I love traveling solo, but sometimes I wonder if I am too good at it and am therefore bad at traveling with friends now.

Kicking things off at #MicroConf Europe: Istanbul. 👏

🚨 TinySeed Fall Accelerator batch applications are officially open Sept 1-9! 🚨 Head to tinyseed.com/apply to apply, and join us on YouTube this Wed for an application Q&A: www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7KI...

I wrote a comprehensive post dispelling many incorrect assumptions about Copyleft vs Permissive open source licenses. If you author/contribute to open source code, it's worth reading and understanding these nuances! shazow.net/posts/permis...

Anyone out there with a YT channel with over 100K subscribers in a tech niche? I'm working on the @microconf.com YouTube strategy (www.youtube.com/@microconf) and would love to have someone to run quick questions on strategy by. Consultant recommendations welcome too!

Planning an event for @tinyseed.com founders/community and I'm glad that, because it's not a public event, I can use ridiculous illustrations like this to make people laugh. Enjoy the beach in your suits, folks!

Heck yeah! 👏👏👏

@snook.ca Totally agree re: your "comments were a mistake" post, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. They really contributes to the community divide we have now, and has made divisive opinions seem more "the norm" and thus attracting followers rather than staying isolated.

I've gotten an opportunity to use Webflow for work and goodness, is this a cool product. 🙌

Weeee

True creativity comes from knowing when to break the rules, something that #AI isn’t good at. @tracyosborn.com #microconf @microconf.com

Einar Vollset has a new look @MicroConf. Next up: Will #AI kill #SaaS? #microconf @tracyosborn.com

We’re kicking off #MicroConf New Orleans with Dr. Sherry Walling as she dives into the psychological journey of entrepreneurship. She’ll share actionable strategies to build resilience, manage stress, and protect your well-being as a founder. 🧘‍♀️

Heading to New Orleans for our flagship @microconf.com conference. 🎉

*slowly collapses into a pile of dust and bones*

Turn off the TV and tune into the State of the People, a 24-hour livestream of our voices responding to the lies from the White House with the truth from the people. Go to stateofthepeople.media to watch now.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

By golly, AI really loves generating three bullet points with emojis.

Feels like the conference world has been upended in the last few years. Which conferences do you go to and why? (Bonus if they're marketing or SaaS focused.) And if you used to go to conferences and don't anymore, would love to know why as well!

Curious about the TinySeed B2B SaaS accelerator? 🤔 @robwalling.com, @tracyosborn.com, and @alexmcquade.bsky.social will be answering questions live on YouTube tomorrow at 7:00 Pacific US / 10:00 Eastern US / 16:00 Central Europe. Click "Remind me" here on YT:

Our SaaS Accelerator is taking applications! We work with generally non-VC track founders who are building innovative B2B applications that could grow 10x faster with a bit of funding, mentorship, and community. Help me share the word. 👇👇👇

@tylertringas.com Hey, FYI for your email form on the www.bkup.nyc website. :) Looking forward to this, I'm often in Brooklyn and love to rock climb (well, not well, but with much enthusiasm!) 🧗‍♀️

Feeling like Google is judging my reading comprehension

Tech conference in Istanbul. Would you feel comfortable attending? (Potentially a silly question, I live in Canada and haven’t been to that region of the world yet – I’m curious where my blind spots are.)

Woohoo @leenyburger.bsky.social! You have been on a JOURNEY. Excited for folks to hear your story. 💪

If you like narrative podcasts that follow startup founders (true crime for startups?) — we'll be releasing our next season of TinySeed Tales starting Thursday. Follow along at @tinyseed.com 👇

First thing I do when @robwalling.com has Einar (both founders of @tinyseed.com) on the Startups for the Rest of Us podcast is search the transcript to see if they talk about me. Never fails. 😆

Treating myself to the “good stuff” in celebration of some good news. 🎊

Google's insistence that every email address needs to be a card is going to drive me up the wall.

Nothing quite like an end-of-year codeathon to make all the little teeny improvements to my app that I've wanted to do all year (but never could because there was always more important work to do instead.)

The story of the Klamath River might just be our favourite things that happened this year. After decades of activism by the Karuk and Yurok tribes, the river was finally freed of four huge dams, ahead of schedule and on budget. https://buff.ly/4gd6E1b #ShareGoodNewsToo

AUUUUUGH

My spice drawer is no longer a dusty mess with thousands of half opened spice bags Unreasonably pleased with myself

Good environment news! 🌎 Invasive murder hornets have been eradicated from the US after significant effort to track and eliminate them. abcnews.go.com/US/murder-ho...
