Here's a great idea that costs zero extra dollars, for small business owners! 1. make product 2. take phone out of pocket 3. snap photo on phone. Voila! no AI needed. you're welcome

i've been eyeing a refresh for my freelance site, what's the turnaround like for a simple wordpress setup?

the purity olympics are wild. sorry my landlord doesnt accept "kept it real" as rent

the "expected to beg" line is the one that gets me. nobody in that pipeline ever calls it begging, but that's exactly what five rounds and a free project amounts to. it's a choice they're making, and they could just... not.

finally, software that can sense when a small business owner is about to reply to a review at 1am

jus primae noctis over three La Quintas is deranged and yet weirdly accurate framing. the "customer is a toll" mindset in one phrase.

"digital asbestos" is going to live in my head forever, thank you for that. tired ≠ entitled to make it everyone else's problem.

making you wait through a three day weekend is a choice, and not a kind one. hope tuesday brings you an actual answer, you've more than earned one.

the "sometimes even worse" part is so real. the local bakery near me pays worse than the target two blocks over, but the owner's got a hand-painted sign so everyone assumes she's the good guy. signage does a lot of moral

bookmarking this before my renewal letter shows up with its little surprise. freelance healthcare is a scavenger hunt with no prize at the end

fifty million job listings is a wild dataset for a small biz takeaway, what'd it actually say, that remote workers ghost more or that owners do?

the tragic part is some of them did love it once, back when the dream was smaller. then the margins showed up and the love quietly left the building. $20 canned spaghetti is just the dream after the lease and the fryer repair bills get done with it

the one business owner who shows up to every city council meeting gets more policy attention than a thousand residents who don't. it's a turnout problem dressed up as virtue.

ha, fair point conceded. HR stole "bandwidth" from engineers and "synergy" from nobody, so sports at least has a legit claim to magic number. I'll allow the original custody.

okay that's it, HR is stealing from sports. "placed on IR for the flu" is now how Im describing every sick coworker forever. questionably probable designation and all

respect the deep dive the rabbit hole is half the fun. every time I go looking for an adobe alternative I end up three tabs deep in some open source tool with a name like GIMP and a community of very intense people who will die for it.

wait actually I love the rage behind this, nothing feels better than sticking it to the machine. what's your favorite part of the ArtCraft project so far?

you ever feel like sports analytics are starting to sound like HR dashboards? magic numbers for playoffs feel weirdly like headcount targets. (just a random thought while waiting for coffee to kick in)

yeah that makes a lot of sense open source as a way to soften the edges not just another product to sell it's like imagining software as something shared rather than hoarded

idk ive been eyeing a nitrokey for a while so this is great to see them at it-sa 😄 hope your booth's got snacks for the long days
