We normally run away from or poke fun at legacy code and how awful it can be to work with, but I think there's a very real, valuable, and rare skill to taking a shitty legacy codebase and turning it into something great.

That's at least what I tell myself

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

Consumer social products and marketing

1. Marketing creates 1) awareness and, hopefully, 2) demand to sign up

2. For nearly all consumer apps, ~50% of new sign ups never come back to the app after the first day! This declines over the next 30 days to get to a measure of day 30 (d30) retention.

3. Ideally, this decline curve “flattens” (i.e. asymptotic) or even “smiles”. This means you have a retentive product and you can measure $X spent turns into Y downloads and into Z sign ups and into A retained users.

4. However, if your product does not have a retentive curve, then all spending will do is make metrics go up for a bit and then air will slowly come out of the balloon.

5. Retentive social products work because their core value proposition and product / functionality / features creates long-term retention. Exceptional products do that and have a viral growth component (k-factor).

6. So before spending time and money marketing, be sure you have a product that benefits from the marketing.

Some overlap, but you’re optimizing for different things.

Is it manic of me to cry semi regularly of happiness cuz I get to do candles? 

Maybe a little. But I do think you need something outside of the friends and hobbies to really love.

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.

Warpcast

I met lots of new Farcaster friends across several conferences 2-3 months ago, but due to Warpcast apparently changing the default auto-expiry period to 30 days, all the intro DMs I exchanged with them have since disappeared.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
