One of the best investments I made this year was paying $250 to a local coffee shop to be a member of their coffee club. They gave me a cup, and they give me free cold brews. It’s worth it.
As chains go, Panera does something similar, but it’s a monthly fee, and they have increased the price significantly since they started it.
(I looked into it, by the way, and no, as a freelancer, you can’t write off something like this, even though in some ways it’s functionally similar to renting a space at a WeWork.)
Gawker Media Company -> Gizmodo Media Company -> G/O Media -> / Media? Or maybe they can rename it based on the assets they haven't sold yet where the staff doesn't actively hate management like checks notes Quartz? Should they just rename themselves Quartz but with an asterisk so no one confuses it with the original Quartz? https://writing.exchange/@ernie/112559953065962054
Now I should be clear, bots in meetings do have a place. As a journalist, having a Krisp or Otter bot in my Zoom meeting makes sense because they can record the audio that I can easily transcribe without thinking about it.
@brandon I get that people like product managers and ops teams have reasons to want to have regular meetings like these, but I also feel like if you’re really tuned into a tool like Asana or a good kanban, you’re often fine.
