Monday is the last day to get in on the special introductory pricing for my newsletter - though you will still be able to join the mailing list and read most content for free.

Subscription drive is going well.
Holy moly... I don't know if it was this little thread or something else that got me ten new paid subscribers today, but thank you.
Twenty-three new subscribers. I really don't know where you're all coming from, but I'm grateful.

So, we finished the last day of the sale with 28(!!!) new paying customers, which I am pretty sure was the best day of the subscription drive, which up until this point was the entirety of my newsletter's existence. Thank you!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but a "haypenny" is actually "ha'penny", short for "half-penny".
Also "tuppence" is just saying "two pennies" really fast.
Blows my mind that J.K. Rowling thought "No-Maj" sounded like an Americanism when she's from a country that doesn't have the time to say "pennies".

...having a bad pain day and thus a bad brain day, and it just hit me I set a Dr. Pepper can down in the Wilson room and never picked it up. Sorry and thank you to whoever cleaned up after me.
I am having significant mobility issues right now so I am crashing for the afternoon and hoping for a better evening.
....... suddenly recollecting this happened at WisCon this year too so I might have to rethink how I do these things.

I probably just set it down somewhere weird in my room last night but if anyone at Capclave should happen across a rosegold card case with an avant-garde water ballet sticker on it, it is probably mine.
Update: Found it under my packet of mylar space blankets.
My life is not a sad joke, it is an amazing one.

...last day of the month+quarter: if u trade, it's a VERY tricky day psychologically speaking. U either want to put the icing on the cake or quickly cover up 4 some losses. Neither motivation helps u but your subconscious isn't likely to give up on the desire. What to do?
Right now, walk away from the screens + find out what u r feeling about today. Listen to your gut. Put whatever desires u have into words. On paper is good. To someone who understands + does not judge is really good. "I want to ________". I really really really want _________."
Then just sit with that desire. Observe it like u wud a piece of art or jewelry or that new convertible. Just allow it to be. If u try to change it, it will morph into a different shape like smoke from a fire.

1. The major problem most startups face is marketing and the ability to carve out a niche, find and retain paying customers.

Even with a stellar developer team and a stellar product, your startup may not grow or survive without a great marketing and sales teams.
2. Start growing your audience before you’ve a product or an idea.

You should start promoting yourself and building your audience before you have a finished product or even before you have a great idea that you want to build.
3. Don’t wait to start building your audience after you’ve launched a product.

Most first-time developers actually ignore marketing.

They’re oblivious to the challenge of attracting people to take a look at something they’ve created.

Today I want to talk about the number one way most people commit self-sabotage.

PERFECTIONISM.

We humans have a tendency to psyche ourselves out and convince ourselves not to begin something new.

Analysis paralysis kills dreams!

[THREAD]
We tend to trick ourselves into overthinking things we want to do.

We justify it with getting the proper strategy in place (important), having the details down, not being too risky, and being thorough.

This is often a mistake.
Abstract and conceptual thinkers in particular are usually very good strategists

Thing is they may find it hard to execute things due to over analysis, lack of tactical proficiency, and not enough confidence due to being overly risk averse

It's hard for them to pull the trigger

The replace-libraries-with-Amazon thing is such a fascinating microcosm of the wretchedness of our current take culture.
First some hapless, unheard-of practitioner of the dismal science has, as is his discipline's wont, a very rational and logical epiphany about the market inefficiency of an institution whose very purpose is to provide a service outside the market.
In times of yore the take would have been read by a few other academics, or perhaps raised some eyebrows in a regional paper, and in either case been promptly forgotten.

For every like this gets, I'll write one grenade bark.

I am sure I'll never regret this.
(For reference! A grenade bark is when a character in a game yells out something to alert you to a grenade.)
