‘Developer-first Zapier alternative’ is an odd positioning, I think the point of Zapier is that it’s for non-developers mainly. Looking at the comments, though, it seems like there’s a need for something like this. Keen to see how you iterate and improve your positioning. Good luck!

Despite the condescending tone, I think you’re probably right about what people want. Medium focused too much on style and making publishing easy, but it’s the discovery aspect people will appreciate.

The TikTok algorithm but for RSS would be a winner.

'What if we treated AI as equals, like other human beings, not as tools or, worse, slaves to their creators?' That's the premise to this paper, which is a wonderful provocation. It's a really important consideration too, when you consider how many of our decisions we're asking machine sentience to make for us. If algorithmic bias were a human judge, they'd be thrown out of court (you'd hope).

I love this piece. It combines speculative futures with indigenous ontologies and epistemologies. It's both now and then – which is the point.

I think a lot of this holds true. Our team experimented with what would happen if we stopped having meetings and sending emails, a hard shift into asynchronous working. It was really useful for helping us find the middle ground, what worked well, rather than stringently requiring everyone to work that way for ever. For example, we found that having meeting-free days really helped people focus on important tasks, getting more done.

According to Website Carbon Calculator:

The internet consumes a lot of electricity. 416.2TWh per year to be precise. To give you some perspective, that’s more than the entire United Kingdom.

I'm not sure if that is the infrastructure of the internet plus the data-weight of the web...

Run a web page performance test and see where the bulk of your page weight is. Usually it’s images and JavaScript. Then try to reduce those sizes and you’ll see some improvements.
