It's not "best matcha in LA," it's "at this specific place, get the 12oz." You can't Google that. You only ever find it out because someone who's been there tells you Which is why I'm collecting these! What's yours?

... years by people who cared about how it feels to use. Dark, considered interfaces. Whitespace that isn't accidental. Content that is the product, not decoration bolted onto a spreadsheet.

More channels raises the floor without touching the ceiling. The other thing nobody warns you about is that going multi channel turns one question into a race. The same approval is now sitting in three places

... what the actual job entails. Developers have noticed. Only 12% of developers use LinkedIn as their main source of technical information, according to a Stack Overflow survey. Most are on the platform purely because they feel they have no alternative, not because they find it genuinely useful.

In the second half of 2024, LinkedIn identified and removed 80.6 million fake accounts at the point ... ... important work exists in repos, not on payroll A developer whose most impressive skills are visible on LeetCode, Codeforces, GitHub, and YouTube, not in a bullet point list There is no native space for your competitive programming ranking.

Zaitzow(@dzaitzow): @anna_ludwinowski I guess if I really think about it - it helps solve the 1 to many problem for lead capture - making every lead get something really unique at the end of the intake survey / quiz funnel VS being bucketed in a segment that MAY apply to them and their specific circumstance.

AI World If you're curious enough, explore the bigger story: why AI suddenly became so capable, and how all these concepts connect to one another. AI Rookies is a place where AI finally makes sense.

Yet when you ask developers where they can properly showcase their work to real users, most of them struggle to name more than one or two places. When you ask regular users where they go to discover quality apps beyond the top charts, the answer is usually nowhere. That gap has been growing for years and nobody was filling it.
