Thanks Tyler - I have calendly but I don't imagine the switching costs are that bad? I'd just change a few links on my website unless I'm missing something.

I don't pay for calendly at the mo

Do you like being spoken to in your own language or do you prefer just doing English?

Paging @rrmdp.bsky.social and @tsanlis.bsky.social

Pete Codes @petecodes.bsky.social · 4d

so, magnesium for sleeping better?

Pete Codes @petecodes.bsky.social · 5d

What industry?

It's mad how effective keeping a phone out of your bedroom is for helping your sleep

Like why would I sleep well with an addictive dopamine machine within arm's reach at all times?

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Ok, adding a call link to my ghostwriting page was actually a good call

Before, people would email and we'd message back and forth but it's good to get right to the "jump on a call" stage
