Try my B2B product thing! I'll give you a free trial!

M8, this is like 10 integration hookups and all my data through your shitty vibe coded tool. It looks just like every other product in your category.

Dude: You didn't even log into the tool! How could you judge my thing based on my marketing and positioning?!

M8, you know that's what all B2B is... Right?

@Fragglemuppet Wait, is it mystery flavour because people didn't tell you what flavour it is?

@skinnylatte I once made the mistake of trying to go clothing shopping at regular stores in China. They don't make them in my size. I had to go to the big Western brands with their ridiculous markup. Never found a good tailor in my time there, and I didn't speak enough clothing-Mandarin to communicate what I wanted.

Although the bra shopping experience was fascinating.

@skinnylatte Does it feel like home?

It took 2 more months to get here after getting stuck in forest fires and lost in transit, but The Psychology of Software Teams is finally here!!
@grimalkina

I have a free 6 month access to an e-book version. Let me know if you want it.

@skinnylatte Oh yeah that makes sense! I was wondering if the sub-tropical temperature preference has worn off yet.

I don't think I can survive SE Asia summers anymore

@skinnylatte What's considered cool or chilly to you? I don't put on another layer until it's 18℃.

What I'm learning from mastodon today is that we should all just be nudists.

@TheBreadmonkey Hong Kong style bakeries have these things called little chicken cookies. They're savoury cookies, with meat and animal fat.

My friends thought I was a monster when I brought a pack over.

@skinnylatte would you survive the winter though?

What in the fresh hell is this?

Per this Reddit thread, https://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/comments/1wd4fw5/toronto_downtown_right_now_drone_show/

They're doing drone ads in the sky over the city. Fuck that noise. As if we don't have enough light pollution and eyeball attracting bullshit.

@potterybyosa Yeah. Our salaries are also significantly lower.

When I work with cross-border teams, I'm used to my US counterparts making 30-50% more for doing the exact same thing.

@cwebber What are you going to do instead? 😁

What is a nostalgic food that you didn't like as a kid, but now love as an adult?

When I send my friends funny posts from Mastodon, they don't click it because they think they need an account.

The walled gardens have done some massive damage to the foundations of how people interact with the internet.

@skinnylatte For the uninitiated, this is not fudge.

@dalias They shipped 30 user stories since acquisition. Something like that. Half of it is rebranding and updating their copyright headers on their files.

Bending Spoons just acquired Airtable.

Whoever does their messaging is pretty shit at it. Pretty hard to enshittify Airtable more than they've already gone, but if there's anyone who can do it... Just look at that list of companies purchased by Bending Spoons that used to be relevant.

I think it's important to keep an eye on the consolidation of assets in tech. A lot of personal information gets stored on Airtable.

Vimeo shipped 30+ product improvements since acquisition!

My eyes rolled out of my head. That stat means nothing.

@chris I'd love a pair of shoes that don't wear out on the soles in 6 months. I tend to go longer than that and start having ankle/knee pains...

Ah well.
