The app for independent voices

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

It's hard to think of an action more damaging to American greatness, or insulting to American freedom, than cutting off cancer research to punish a university for failing to align politically with the current government.

(What feels like an) unpopular opinion: There is so much more to aging than weighted vests, magnesium, and a hundred grams of protein.

There is contentment in finally realizing who (and what) brings you peace. There is bravery in being okay with walking away from what no longer serves you. There is the acknowledgement that we bring enough to the table, just as we are - No faking or forcing required.

The weighted vest? Sure, it’s beneficial. But there is no vest heavy enough to compare to the weight (and worth) of mental peace.

You made it, you own it

You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.

Stop clinging to the broken version of the person you love.

You weren’t called to fix them.

You were called to trust the God who can.

You don’t have to carry their healing. You just have to stop standing in the way of it.

okay well i asked the moon and she said you’re a fucking loser for that

Perfect analogy: product management is the party host, introducing developers to customers and helping everybody have a good experience. This is the agile mentality I'm excited about -- developers moving closer to customers instead of product acting as gatekeepers to customer interactions.

I also appreciate Kent’s ability to be gracious even when he is frustrated and be deliberate about maintaining a positive platform, things I want to be better at myself.

Product is a Party, Not Chess
