Yeah, they’re not always as good as the text. I’ll stick to that. Thanks for the honest assessment

Also, hello from Colorado 👋

Apple TV+ is streaming an 8-hour remix of the Severance theme song that is perfect music for your innie to refine macrodata to. Legit adding this to the work music rotation. [kottke.org]

Really enjoy working with atproto. Level of detail in the JSON is fantastic and nicely structured!

Also moderation is sorta baked in.

Hands-down the best job (and the longest) I've ever had! Grateful every day to be able to work on this with @justinjackson.ca and our incredible (small) team. 6+ years on, I still get to write code daily.

We have amazing customers and can't thank them enough for sticking with us and trusting us.

Wanted to share a milestone @transistor.fm achieved last year:

We surpassed Simplecast in total podcasts hosted.

Here's why it's significant:

Many people don't know this, but @jonbuda.com built the first version of Simplecast in 2013.

That's how we met: In 2014, he convinced me to switch.

A table showing rankings of top 20 podcast hosting companies. The table has four columns: Rank, Podcast Hosting Company, Podcasts, and Percentage. Buzzsprout.com leads at #1 with 217,598 podcasts (19.11%), followed by spreaker.com with 134,403 (11.81%), and podbean.com with 125,133 (10.99%). Transistor.fm is highlighted in green at rank #9 with 26,902 podcasts (2.36%). The table continues down to #20 squarespace.com with 7,381 podcasts (0.65%).

Transistor passed Simplecast in total podcasts hosted in 2024

You forgot the part about me initially saying no (for months) and wanting to do it all solo because of being burned previously. glad I change my mind on that!

Inside Llewyn Davis ends right where A Complete Unknown begins. It’s the fictional prequel, and arguably the better film. But both are great.
