I think people also don't acknowledge how much terminology, slang and other culture originate and spread there. When it breaches into Twitter (usually through funposters) people kind of ignore the unsavoury origin and rewrite the history. The anonymous nature kind of provides that petri dish of "if it's strong culture, it'll survive or be modified."
While I realize this does nothing for mobile (RIP third-party clients), Control Panel for Twitter [1] has been nice for me to use as a browserscript. Defaults/hides "For You" and tweaks a bunch of other stuff (hideable trends, etc).
This means that management needs to be good enough to realize that it's a good idea to include young talent, give them opportunity, and respect their different perspectives. This means better stories, and also means that the management holds those beliefs as principles, and are willing to take risks "for the sake of it."
But that seems counter to the idea of a management pastiche drooling over the cost-cutting potential of AI.
You gotta love the usage of social justice vocabulary with this. Find a way that it'll "impact low-income taxpayers" and suddenly it's morally correct to keep things from being more convenient for the vast majority of people.
Selling Notion templates is a complete cottage industry right now. So many people who were once selling video courses are just bundling up what they think mid-level managers will think looks sexy/smart from a note-taking/organizational system and selling it to them.
I know that's not anything new, but it's interesting to see how pervasive it is for one, specific service. Seems much easier to do than selling like... Asana automations? Zapier zaps?
>I hope one day governments catch up to the harms they're doing, and regulate them just as they did for Big Tobacco and many other truly evil industries.
But how does that happen when our government officials (at least in North America) seem technologically illiterate, and rely on Silicon Valley for their re-elections and donations (therefore becoming more susceptible to lobbying)?
Serial was probably the first "killer app" of podcasting, with an episodic look at a crime that they (arguably) had a hand in reversing the decision for. Every bit of True Crime podcasting owes something to Serial, and it was a normie-friendly product that wasn't being published anywhere else, in any other formats. Journalists also bigged it up, which meant it got a lot of hype, as well.
>What I get from this sentence (out of context) is to not burn bridges. Have a way to go back if you decide the new direction isn't right for you.
I think that it's more speaking to... "I know why this thing that I'm leaving led me to the place I'm going, and I'm appreciative for that." Notsomuch the practical burning bridges in terms of jobs, but the piece I was quoting was more about the mental progression of "Okay I was really into this type of relationship, but it doesn't work for me any more. But I'm going to keep the connection of why it did work for me, so I can have context and appreciation for the growth I'm experiencing as a person."
Got inspired by some writing about personal change that happens when your brain says "Nope, this (person, job, situation) isn't working for you anymore."
Felt it applied well to creatives and athletes who feel like they still have a role to perform, based on something very personal.
