I'm in one of the most remote towns in Japan and they're still putting this gobshite on the telly

We came to Japan to find some snow and it definitely delivered! 😄☃️

found out we were dropping 30% of users on our sign up page which seems quite excessive! so I redesigned it this week to just show all the oauth buttons (before user had to enter email first). And also created better 'remember-me' functionality so that users know how they signed in last time

macOS Tahoe is such a ridiculous step backwards for user interface design Look at it vs Aqua (which is 25 years old btw)

Merry Christmas from Chiang Mai! 🇹🇭🎄🎉 A bit different to last year lol ⛵🐟🌊

my toxic trait is that I will always buy the weirdest flavour chips

It's Thursday so that means it's the meeting of the Bangkok people who ship stuff! 🚀 We changed intros to 10:30 this week which was much better for the lazy Bangkok people 😂 Soon we'll do demos, then spicy food and beers 🍻

When the 10th customer in a row asks if they can still get the Black Friday discount 💀

This is our weekly session of founders who ship in Bangkok - Hackumvit! 🚀 We have a morning standup where we share what were shipping today, then focus! At 5pm we demo. Then we go for spicy food + beers together 🍻 But I've got to get used to no-one being able to do anything before 11am here 😆

🚨 PSA - before you buy a cute new gTLD for your project, bear in mind that the cute ones are being overwhelmingly used for phishing scams It will be harder to build email reputation with .xyz .shop etc - you'll go to spam Always better to stick with .com Source krebsonsecurity.com/2024/12/why-...

Last night we ordered on Grab minutes before going to sleep, and woke up to a freshly baked sourdough this morning 😋🍞 Bangkok is the best 🇹🇭♥️

I'm already bored of Black Friday emails, so I've made a blocklist for any matching emails in leavemealone.com so they don't land in my inbox 💪 AND after Cyber Monday I'll just automatically unsubscribe from all of them 🤪🙅‍♂️

Starter Packs were such a killer idea A have a few friends who tried to get started with X and they always had the same complaint - my feed is full of garbage and people I don't care about! Now I can send then a starter pack of cool people and they can start with a curated feed already! 👍

How do we keep the #buildinpublic scene here from being overwhelmed by the same engagement bait posts as on X? What's the best way to share and celebrate each others wins (like in the old days) but without every post becoming a screenshot of an MRR chart? 💀

People often use our domain as a "fuck you" email address 🖕 So if they don't want to receive emails from a service they're signing up for they'll use our domain For example most recently we got an email for goaway@leavemealone.com Is there anything interesting we could do with these stats?

Just signed a year long lease on an apartment in Bangkok! 🇹🇭🥳 It will be our first time living anywhere longer than a month in the last 8 years! 🤯

my friend is an undertaker 💀 He has to be quite careful how he says things so people don't come to the wrong conclusion 😂

After 36 years I know strongly that I'm more of a hot-spring person than an ice-bath person 🤪

Today I'm three-dozen years old! 🎁🎂 This has been the craziest most exhausting year of my life ⛵️ Sailed my own boat across an ocean 🌍 Sailed to 12 new countries 🌀 Ran away from a hurricane 🫡 Sold my boat and switched to backpack again 🎒 Visited another 7 countries by land Next year I rest 😅

First time flying into a typhoon yesterday 😅 It was bouncy
