Friends, I launched something today. 🚀

Build Mode is a private online community for people working on cool stuff but feeling like they're not around the right people.

It's scratching a big personal itch, too.

If it sounds relevant, here's the site: buildmode.club

Applications close in 2 weeks. 🙏🏻

It's actually amazing how much work it has been to get Build Mode off the ground. So many logistics – event planning, meetings, calendars...

But it has been so worth it, and I can't wait to get it officially started tomorrow with 11 really impressive people.

PS: Who found it!?

Favicons are so weird. I have a few local cache issues sometimes, and it seems basically impossible to solve them :)

Thanks! I see the favicon over here.

Three UDP packets walk into a bar.

First: I'll have a whisky
Third: Vodka for me.
Second: Just water.

Bartender: What you lads having?

It has been a long week. Lots of calls.

But the good news is that I have put together a genuinely amazing group of people to kickstart Build Mode – the new builder community I'm launching next week. 👏

Still spots available, so if you're curious, here's all the info: buildmode.club

Remember:

The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question. It's to post the wrong answer.

I'm learning Thai, and he resource I'm using is clearly the correct one because I've already learned กาแฟ ☕️

Free startup idea for anyone that wants it: round up all these zombies and get them onto treadmills. Infinite energy supply. 🧟‍♂️

In my case that'd be "for a company I turned down".

So, applications close for Build Mode in 9 days.

And I hid something on the website...

Only the smartest people will find it.

If they do, they get to skip the application process entirely.

Only 1 person has been successful so far.

It's only a WeWork to be fair, but it's a great view on a nice day and very pleasant to work from :)

I love the idea of taking on new responsibilities you know you won't do until you've taken on even bigger ones that turn the original one into a procrastination. I think my brain is too orderly to allow me to do this, but fun idea!

Starting my week by welcoming some very cool people to Build Mode's official launch in 10 days.

I'm working from a local co-working space today. Love the Manchester bee they have on the wall.

“Take for example the item right at the top of my list right now. It was supposed to be done eleven months ago. I have accomplished an enormous number of important things as a way of not working on it.”

This is a masterpiece: structuredprocrastination.com

Good morning!

Here’s a bit of Monday inspiration:

“Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment."

I'm visiting the UK right now and what I'm missing most this Sunday evening is my regular ride up and around Núi Sơn Trà in Đà Nẵng.

📢 If you hack your brain with SRS via Anki, listen up...

Anki still defaults to its classic SM-2 algorithm.

But FSRS is superior, and it has been supported in Anki since 2023.

So change it, and hack your brain better.

Guys, I'm human after all (damn).

I built a social network with almost 2000 users. After years of not a single bug, this morning it died. 💀

10 mins later and we're back!

It was a fun bug that lay silent for a very long time!

Who wants to try and spot it?
