@cabel Have you ever written about how you save old software and artifacts for customer nostalgia?

It’s so fun to dig in the archives and blog. Discovering Panic lore is part of the customer experience.

Don't care about code. Care about users enough to master code.

The Remarkable Incompetence At The Heart Of Tech

Hello premium subscribers! Today I have the first guest post I've ever commissioned (read: paid) on Where's Your Ed At - Nik Suresh, one of the greatest living business and tech writers, best-known for his piece I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again, probably my favourite piece

Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At

Man, this is rough to see. Especially for a company that’s been around long enough that I used dialup at my parents’ house to check their site.

But also, I want to plug that @Iconfactory’s latest app, Tapestry, which is probably my favorite newish app for iOS in ages. It’s such a better way to find wonderful things to read or keep track of subreddits. It’s great, you should try it.

“Power might be defined as simply the ability to make things happen, to be a causal agent, to initiate change. [..]

Control might be defined as power exercised as means toward a specific end; authority, as vested control.”

— Mary Parker Follett, Dynamic Admistration, Power (ch 4)
