I somehow subscribed to 90 substacks, and trying to clean them out is my weekend project. It might span a few weekends if I can't find a way to do it in less than three clicks for each newsletter.
People have been dunking on this, rightly, and I would like to extend the same sentiment to making websites. Yeah, making a really great website is a lot of work these days. So make a terrible website and have fun with it.
My tried-and-true method to make a long lasting impact at work? Write some solid documentation on a difficult topic and put your name on it 📜
I’ve been working on an RFC and doing code reviews and prototypes for what feel like forever and it’s going to be lovely when it’s done but I just want some solid boring coding for a bit…

I’m trying to update my profile description and failing - both around character limits and making it snappy. So I’m gonna just throw it here and pin it.
