After 4 years, I’ve upgraded my phone. First impression: Dynamic Island is such a fun feature from a UI perspective 👏
Other than that.. well it’s a new iPhone. Not revolutionary, but I’m really curious to give the improved camera a try!

i am once again asking you to resist the urge to turn every navigation click into some horrendous inescapable view transition. they are cool, but i can only watch your shit fly, zoom and bounce so many times before i claim you as a sworn enemy before the elder gods.

Even better if your product is smart enough to know that pasting a link when text is selected means you want to add a hyperlink and not replace the text!

One of my favorite workflows at appointmed is our monthly "Heartbeat." Each department posts a short essay (no bullet lists!) about what happened in the last few weeks.
Great way to keep everyone in the loop without micromanaging. October has been particularly successful for our little company 💪 🚀

Doing exceptional work.
On my own schedule.
With a tiny, self-managing team.
That gives a shit about the work.
Without drama, egos, or politics.
While being highly profitable.
That’s the dream.
That’s my vision of a unicorn business, and it might be just as rare as the billion-dollar startup.

Wild how “lifestyle business” became an insult. Making actual profit while enjoying your work and having freedom? That’s supposed to be the BAD outcome? 🤷♂️
Most companies aren’t even profitable. Building something sustainable that funds the life you want is literally the dream.

Spent a week in the mountains with the appointmed team. Super fun, despite the weather being „no great."

What's the best way to understand user behaviour at scale? I remember Mixpanel was great at that back in the day, but I'm sure there's a better solution by now.
Any tips?

We got integration requests from 6(!) different AI phone services in the past 3 weeks. They all are offering the same feature for an outrageous price and „questionable“ security at best.
I‘m willing to bet that at least 5 of them are dead within 12 months. Getting a bit tired of the AI hype, tbh 🫠

It’s my birthday. 🎁
So, I took the day off and grabbed my little family for a day trip. It was also Kobe’s very first flight and he really enjoyed it! 🥰

I used to work 100-hour weeks and couldn't turn my brain off.
Now I work 40 hours tops (mostly) and make better decisions.
Wrote about why I need activities that demand total focus. Ones that won't let me think about work even if I tried.

Finding My OFF Switch – Slow & Steady by Patrik Inzinger
Your brain needs complete breaks, not just different work. I learned this the hard way. Now flying and motorcycles force me to disconnect, and I make better decisions because of it.

While market headwinds have many companies restructuring, cutting costs and people, and even closing down, we quietly grew MRR by 49% in the first half of the year.
No new hires.
No extra spend.
Just staying annoyingly focused on the basics.

It's been a while. Life got a bit too hectic for social media. What did I miss?

Trust, but verify.
Remember it when delegating.
Without verification, trust can turn into blind faith, leaving room for misunderstandings, mistakes, or even complacency.
You have to do both.
