🆕 blog! “I don't understand the sacrifices people make for work”

Just before I graduated from University, I went to a careers fair to help me decide what I wanted to do with my life. At one of the stalls was our local Police force1 - advertising the exciting new world of digital forensics2. Here is - almost verbatim - the conversation I had with the […]

This is a #lisp machine for network protocols. Initially in pursuit of a social forum focused on link sharing.
as #startups and free projects alike rush to implement some #IETF RFC adding only 'but on the web'. I aim to define a modular protocol server which can support an arbitrary number of network protocols as a network daemon. Our POC in this endeavour will be to build an #NNTP -like protocol daemon which gateways to #IPFS storage. The content held in this system can be consumed by arbitrary clients; a web application presenting #reddit -like services would be just one of many potential clients, although it is likely that Gnus for Emacs will be the first one.

Hello, I am a new startup!

I’m funded by venture capital and free to use.

Please come and make me valuable by using me. Make my numbers go up!

Once you do, I’ll have everything I need and I can do whatever I want with the time and effort you’ve put into making me successful.

Not happy? Fuck you, I don’t need you anymore (network effects FTW, amirite?)… I’m laughing all the way to the bank.

Goodbye!

Hello, I am a new startup…


When are we going to learn to say “no” at the start?

A startup cannot enshittify if you don’t allow it to start up.

Once it starts up, gains traction, and the network effects kick in, you lose the power to do anything about it.

The only time you can kill a venture-capital funded startup is at the very beginning.

The way you kill a startup is by not using its free services at the start.

The correct answer to a venture-capital funded startup is always “no, thank you!”

🥳 New Changelog interview!

This week we’re joined by Dustin Bluck to discuss his acquisition of the well known (and beloved) @castropodcasts app to take it indie-focused once again.

As previous users of Castro, we were excited to dig into the details behind this popular podcast client to see what’s next, how the deal was done, a peek into the code, and where exactly this indie and creator focused podcast app can go.
