Dropped calls aren’t a tech mystery - they’re a spectrum problem. When networks are forced to cram millions of users into too little, fragmented spectrum, failure is inevitable. Business Standard nailed it. 📉📡
@AirCrumbs is building the solution.

This happened sooner than I expected
Well done
It’s 3AM and I just recreated @Apple Liquid Metal right in the browser. No JavaScript. No WebGL. Just raw HTML + CSS.
Let me know if you want the code

Which one is better? AWS, Azure, or GCP?
The good news: This might not matter soon!
The guy who created the AWS CDK created Winglang, an open-source language designed from the ground up for the cloud.
Winglang abstracts the differences between cloud providers by defining a standard API.
It doesn't matter if you want to use AWS, GCP, Azure, or a custom platform. You can use the abstract API and compile and deploy it later to any cloud provider.
I have an example here combining Winglang with the OpenAI API. This will help you understand how powerful this is:
• OpenAI generates jokes
• Jokes are put in a cloud topic
• Translators subscribe to the topic
• Translators use OpenAI to translate the jokes
In this example, you'll notice something critical: You can focus on business logic instead of cloud mechanics. You won't have to worry about the low-level details until you need them.
You'll find the example in this GitHub repository (/examples folder):
git.new/winglang
Thanks to the team behind Winglang for collaborating with me on this post.

You were wise to let go of emotion. I’m glad he’s crushing it

The collapse of many private equity backed HVAC roll-ups will be driven by the convergence of 2 critical issues:
1. Lack of depth on leadership bench
2. Broken incentives, misalignment upon founder's exit at "2nd bite"
Let me unpack this approaching trainwreck... 🧵

The 160th Night Stalkers are the most elite helicopter pilots in the world.
I was one, but neither I nor my peers started that way.
We developed average guys into uncommon leaders.
Here's how we did it (and the approach you can use too):

As Luke Combs's hit cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" dominates the country charts, it’s bringing up some complicated emotions in fans & singers who know that Chapman, as a queer Black woman, would have an almost zero chance at that achievement herself: washingtonpost.com/arts-ente…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
"Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman was nominated for 3 Grammy Awards including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. She won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best New Artist.
She has 7 other nominations for Grammy Awards and two wins.

This is the absolute truth about remote work:
If you run an organization with highly educated and/or skilled workers who know how to take initiative and/or who receive results based compensation, you should be diving head first into remote work right now.
You will out recruit global powerhouse organizations that are pushing “return to office” because of over investment in commercial real estate.
You will also be able to steal talent from them on a level you never will again because of the incredible desire for remote work.
Most people want to live in Coastal Carolina, on a golf course in Florida or near Big Sur in California. They don’t want to be forced to live within 285 in Atlanta, sit in ridiculous traffic, and have supersized cost of living for it.
Even if you have incredible workspaces, provide lunches and have “napping pods,” people don’t care. And they’ll quit and find another job on a moment’s notice to be able to work from home and pick their kids up from school.
This is an opportunity to take your run-of-the-mill business from a talent stand point and supercharge it with future leaders who will help your business grow for decades.
These are also the same people who will thrive in a remote environment because they never needed much oversight to begin with.
The concerns about training, mentoring and “hallway conversations” are silly given the digital world we live in, the nature of most modern workplaces, and the results driven over the last few years in remote formats.
Even if, for sake of argument, there is some loss of learning and training among entry level folks, that is such a minor issue relative to the opportunity cost of not tackling the opportunity outlined above.
Remote work isn’t for everyone, though. If your work truly needs to be done in person or you have personnel who truly can’t handle it, fine.
But, if not, you should be bucking the trend and investing heavily in a remote workforce right now.

If you got 1500+ on the SAT, attended a good MBA program, and work at a big-name company, take an hour this weekend and drive around the nicest neighborhood in your city.
You know what it’s filled with?
People not as smart as you, who simply get shit done.
Keep that in mind.

Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵
