Finally hired an EA and already feeling less anxious. 😊 For those with EAs, what creative projects or tasks do you delegate? My list is already long, but would love more inspiration.

True, although what would incentivize Twitter to do so? They benefit from controlling their ecosystem. One could argue that embracing an open protocol will lead to more experimentation and engagement, but it’s early.

Spending this morning thinking through improvements for Product Hunt’s review system. If anyone has shower thoughts, please share. :) (I don’t have a formal role at PH anymore but want to help out)

When will Bluesky come to the web/desktop? FWIW, I spend most of my Twitter time on Tweetdeck. I’m one of those. :)
