Medium invented a new design style. Many sites are creating variations of this style now because it is a beautiful way to display content. (Ghost, exposure.so to name a couple).
Boundaries are important. Boundaries define entire new worlds of content.
It functions way differently than Medium. It's a follow/follower feed structure.
Medium doesn't prevent you from writing a short post, but we all feel the psychological pressure to not publish something on medium unless we have at least a page of writing. For this reason, blogging is very inaccessible for most people, and most of our daily thoughts.
I invite you to read the introduction to understand Kaia a little better.
Thanks. When you follow someone on Kaia, you are immediately prompted to choose a list to add them to (or easily create a new one on the spot). Then in your settings, you can choose which lists show up in your main feed.
The lists are smart in the sense that as more and more people add a person to a certain list like "startups", then it will just suggest this list for you immediately when you follow them.
I am a notoriously bad multi-tasker and when I'm concentrating on a project I had a really hard time paying any attention to my girlfriend. I also found it harder and harder to relate to the struggles that other people have in a normal life. Trying to add something significant to the world comes at a cost: I might not ever be able to have a normal relationship.
If it does come down to a counter offer, I'd advise telling your current employer that your desires (salary, benefits, etc...) aren't up for negotiation. Give them concrete details of what you want and make sure they know you aren't opening the field for a lower offer. Way better for everybody this way.
