PhoneBoy Says

New Post: On Medium and Compensating Authors For The Value They Provide [phoneboy.info]

Interesting, Medium is laying off some people [blog.medium.com] in an effort to refocus their product to "find a new model for writers and creators to be rewarded."

I didn't find the traditional models for rewarding writers all that profitable myself. Given that plenty of people write for the sheer joy of getting their ideas out there, I don't see how this will work. But maybe I'm not thinking about this enough or the right way. #nt

@matigo that's par for the course, be it Bibi or any other politician. :P

@hybotics I know the feeling, trust me :/

@matigo Since in this case I was concerned about performance on a specific piece of hardware, it's easy enough to install it on that versus fire up a VMz

@thrrgilag there is such as thing as private cloud. :)

Without automation and orchestration, the cloud is just someone else's computer.

@kdfrawg looks like an electric grill. Definitely a winner.

@kdfrawg I don't find it that much of a pain in the rear to test my blood sugar…
