Here’s how you can get me to follow you, even if you have 0 followers:

1. In your pinned tweet, convince me that you’re worth following.

2. In your timeline, have a stream of tweets about what you said I’d see.

3. Make me find you by showing up in the comments of ppl I follow.
To be effective at #3, you can turn on tweet notifications on some of your favorite accounts. This gives you an opportunity to see all their tweets, and to comment early (if you have something valuable to add). This worked really well for me in the beginning.
If you are worth following, then this template will get you followers. Some people will see your comments, some will click on your profile, some will read your pinned tweet, some will choose to follow you, and some will choose to not unfollow you after a while. It’s a funnel.

Everyone with an audience started from zero at some point.

This was my start, 12 months ago:
And this was my progress over the following 11 months:
One thing to avoid is an expectation of smooth linear progress (because that will likely disappoint you). While at the month/year level the growth might look almost linear, on a daily level it's mostly flat, with occasional random spikes:

From a recent @martin_casado article posted on @a16z:

"Cloud infrastructure is a substantial – and sometimes hidden – cost for AI companies".

I'm sharing the techniques we use at @FloydHub_ to reduce this cost on #AWS and improve our gross margins [Thread] #ML #AI
0/ Not all AWS regions are priced the same. GPUs can be up to 90% more expensive across regions. Other than cost consider these when picking your AWS region: proximity to your geographical location, compliance requirements, and integration with any existing AWS infrastructure.
1/ Reserve your GPU instances and/or purchase Savings Plans. Review your GPU usage for the last 3-6 months and purchase 1-year plans based on that. Gives you 25-30% savings on your GPU bill.

"Why #SocialMovements Matter", a thread.

It's been a long time since I've written a whole #book in longhand. 1999 to be exact, under the trees in the Botanic Gardens @NBGIreland.

whysocialmovementsmatter.com, 30% off with code RLIJUNE18 Why Social Movements Matter book cover
My handwriting's got worse in the meantime, doing so much more by keyboard and screen. It's still a physically different experience, more thoughtful, more physically creative. There's a different kind of feedback as you see your writing change.
"Why Social Movements Matter" was an unintentional book. @GeoffreyPleyers and the remarkable @lecollege_em at @FondationMSH made it possible for me to spend a month just researching and writing - which is an incredible privilege.

The Gift of Fear, by Gavin de Becker
"Predatory animals devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment."
Chapter 1 opens with a play-by-play of Kelly's interaction with a stranger. She's heading home with her hands full, when a bag gives way, and a young man appears, offering his help. He talks too much, insists on following her up, and into her home. He rapes and almost kills her.
