I've been silently enjoying various food videos from Japan and Korea.

Just look at these bad boys!

There seems to be an entire world of people just shooting how various restos do local burgers, egg balls, and cool local twists on cuisine.

I like this take by @kentbeck.com on how AI-assisted programming changes the balance of which skills are most important

One of my favourite and recent finds is Dialectic podcast by
@jdahl.bsky.social

It has:
✅ Interesting guests that are not super mainstream
✅ Multidisciplinary topics: life, business, tech, philosophy, writing, etc.
✅ Digestible length
✅ Thoughtful questions

@samuelhorn.com bumped into your Notion / Astro blogpost. Are you still on markdown files due to the images complexity with notion?

Love regulation or hate regulation: it is clear from this case that Apple CANNOT self-regulate

The ONLY reason Apple cannot ban web links + claim 30% on all web payments (that have nothing to do with Apple infra!) is the US regulator

Think about this

Are you scared to publish / launch because you’re scared of what other people will say?

Or are you thinking “it’s not good enough” / “it’s not ready” / “I can do so much better?”

In other words, other people aren’t in your way, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 are in your way.

Which you can change.

The most mind boggling thing about 2024 stock market is that 76% of $NVDA employees are now millionaires.

The greatest wealth creation of all time apparently.

So what are good tech podcasts today?

For example, I want to learn more about how deepseek is different, in deprh, what does it mean for the future?

Not - high level lets make some $ BS and “everything has changed!”

What are the good audio tech deep dives?

What is the best personal AI approach? Recos?

- Individual apps (ChatGPT, Claude) - great at UI and features (search, canvas, rag)
- @perplexity_ai good at research, bad at reasoning
- @raycastapp great at aggregating models and search but no context / RAG
- @OpenWebUI bring your own API key

Almost no one who is "famous" for writing online was an expert first.

They became an expert (or at least seen as one), from writing.

So, you don't have to wait.

You do have to write.

This is incredible. Happens at least once a month where HR sends an email and somebody hits "reply all" and asks to be removed. Then 2 weeks later somebody re-ignites the passion for reviving the old spam chains and send "reply all" again with HR following up on instructions to NOT press "reply all"
omg a student somehow accidentally wrote an email addressed to a faculty-wide NYU listserv and my inbox is now a master class on who understands the difference between a listserv and an email chain

This is my favorite time of the year because all of my friend's annual reviews are going to start hitting my inbox. Really appreciate everyone spending time to reflect and share their lessons learned! Keep em coming.

Has been the busiest year of my life full of personal events (wedding, family visits, studying), traveling and job responsibilities but still managed to squeeze in some commits. I'll take the ninja status, let's go 2025!

So how do people here cross-post on X, Threads and Bsky? With replies and all. @poppacalypse.bsky.social did you find a solution?
