Dustin Curtis weighs in with some areas where Twitter needs to do better. I completely agree.

And that leads to me to the final thing I want to talk about, which is also the most important: Twitter has fucked up its platform. Twitter has turned into a place where famous people and news organizations broadcast text. That’s it. Nothing great is Built On Twitter, even though it should be the most powerful realtime communications platform on Earth. There are simply no developer integration features for building stuff on top of Twitter as a platform, and that is absurd and disappointing.

Fixing Twitter by Dustin Curtis

To be honest if Twitter was to disappear overnight then I wouldn't miss it. There was a time when I would but those days have long gone.

On lighter news here’s a free business idea. A newsletter that aggregates all the best bits from your existing newsletters.

Started using Heroku’s new pipelines feature. No complaints so far with it. Also a much easier process of deploying between environments.

Just wondering. With all the focus on iOS 9 being able to block ads, will Apple’s policy change on ad-supported iOS apps change?

The Richness of Slow

There I was doing my morning pages on the subject of selecting tools to work fast when we want to be working slower with a clearer purpose. Next thing I know I'm reading Curtis' post on the same topic. Enjoy the wise words of Curtis.

Why default to fast when slow and involved has so much richness?
