👋 Hi, hello. How's it going? A small announcement: Slack now (finally) supports underlining text! 🎉 ✍️ Emphasize your messages. ❗️Underscore important points. 🏅Give CMD+U something to do. How will you put underlining to use? 👀

Everyone talks about AI slop. No one talks about PE (private equity) slop. - restaurants that lost their soul - medical practices that feel like assembly lines - apartment buildings designed by an Excel formula The algorithm didn’t kill culture. The margin model did.

Never, ever buy a product you first learn about on Amazon. All junk unless you verified it isn’t crap elsewhere first.

Amazon is genuinely pretty bad now and every product is called something like “Wireless Bluetooth 5.4 Earbuds LED Power Display, Deep Bass Stereo Sound, 100-Hour Playtime, Noise Cancelling Waterproof Sweatproof Lightweight Earphones for Sport Running Gym Workout iOS Android”

To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.

Last week, the Slack layoffs affected many talented and hardworking teammates who know how to build great products. Alumni created a list for folks actively looking to add themselves. If you’re hiring, take a look. And feel free to DM – I'm here to help. airtable.com/shrAdxudkjWbRtM…
