🎬 Builder shoutout: @jfontech is building Slate (@useslateapp), so YouTube creators spend less time on thumbnails and titles. 🖼️ Worth a look if you make videos.

The gap is getting wider and wider. Most people in life are quite passive. They wait for life to happen to them. But to be happy and get the most out of your life you need to be active. Taking initiative. Making things happen. No one is coming to save you.
I'm starting to sense a divide in the tech industry: - People thriving on autonomy who are reinventing how they work and what tools they use with AI: LOTS of work, but they're enjoying it and getting very efficient - People used to being mentored / trained / or simply told what to do and how. Frustrated with the lack of guidance from management on what to do with AI; also frustrated by seeing some of their peers thriving; increasingly bitter about AI and the state of the industry, as a whole Neither group seems to be aware that there's another group, or have empathy for the other group

The problem with Meta releasing cool products is that they’re Meta. I never want to be in their ecosystem. Many people feel the same.

marketing feels like standing drunk outside a club explaining to the bouncer why your sorry ass deserves to come in

Xbox needs to move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers. Today, we promoted leaders who helped build Xbox, while also bringing in new voices to help push us forward. This balance is important as we get the business back on track. As part of this shift, you’ll see us begin to retire features that don’t align with where we’re headed. We will begin winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console.
