"Unfortunately for me, not all collaboration can be rooted out, and even I will admit that some collaboration is useful. Ian and Andy edited this newsletter after all."
So "good" collaboration does work. It is just that the post is talking about things that are not really true collaboration and those should be avoided. Title is click bait but posthog is famous for these.
Framing obvious/old ideas in a novel way can be helpful. "Collaboration" is a meme that makes it easy to view all collaboration-shaped exchanges as helpful and the opposite as harmful. A memorable counter-narrative can help people think more critically when faced with an applicable situation.
For specific dates, I prefer 3 dropdowns with explicit strings for months. So the dropdowns would be "7", "January","2026" etc instead of 01/07/2026 or 07/01/2026 ensuring there is no confusion.
I think requiring app is an overreach. I hate installing apps. If you want to save money and not do paper, I would just do this:
- Provide a discount/credit for using electronic digital boarding pass (PDF file, no apps). If someone is not able to use the PDF etc (either their own printout or on their phone) and require a paper pass at the airport for any reason, their discount/credit goes away. Simple.
You could say the same thing about Computers when they were mostly mainframe. I am sure someone will figure out how to make it commoditized just like personal computers and internet.
And notably, those phones and tablets are intentionally hobbled by the device owners (Apple, Google) who do everything they can to ensure they can't be treated like personal computing devices. Short of regulatory intervention, I don't see this trend changing anytime soon. We're going full on in the direction of more locked down now that Google is tightening the screws on Android.
Was this new domain in use before ? If yes, check if the domain itself was blacklisted earlier. Sometimes, domains are used for scam/spams and then someone else registers it only to find out that google is blacklisting it.
"I've come to realize burnout is a function of expectation mismatch"
This. No amount of break will solve the issue until you adjust your expectations, especially from yourself. I have been burnt out as a founder and taking time off made it worse because I still have a business to run and you cant just switch off as a founder. Can work for employees but not for founders. Only way is to stop expecting too much from you but still jeep the balance of keep moving forward.
Really hard to do. I struggle every day but I cannot quit doing it because i cannot do anything else (EDIT: I mean other than being a founder).
Sorry I should have been more clear. I meant that I cannot do anything else other than being a founder and run my own thing. With that, comes the burnout that cannot be solved by taking time off because you cannot just switch off like a regular employee can. So you have to solve the burnout differently.
I hear you that you didn't have to pay something crazy but the fact that you ultimately paid $500 for a short ride and you think it was "successful experience" is how they fool us. You think you got a deal when they are still laughing all the way to the bank for charging you $500 for a short ride.
I don't know, I don't run an ambulance company- what should the cost be (either to me, my insurance company, or to the government)? Can't be cheap to fully staff an ambulance with EMTs.
Yes, but I'm talking about the costs of actually running a 24/7 emergency vehicle operation- even completely idle, the emergency vehicle has significant costs that they need to cover.
Great question. No one "wants" insurance. Everyone wants to be able to get covered for care. The problem is that Govt decided decades ago that Health Insurance is the only way to get care even for mundane things like a regular doctor visit. To make it worse, they tied it to Employers needing to provide insurance. Insurance companies love this bureaucracy and became too powerful over the last few decades.
It is a sad state and I have almost given up on the hope that someday it will change. I m lucky enough to afford healthcare and feel for those who can't.
Yes and it still sucks because I hate wasting my hard earned money because of a random number thrown at me for the so called "Claim". Fk the entire insurance industry especially health insurance mafia.
And don't get me started on the inefficiencies and waste of time that you have to go through to fight a "claim" that is incorrect.
