IndieWebCamp Austin day 2 is winding down. I wrapped up my project to show replies on my blog posts and I’ll be demoing it to the group soon, with a blog post to follow later this week. Looking forward to seeing what other folks worked on!

Every foo and bar in technical documentation or slides is a wasted opportunity.

It fails to illustrate WHY what you're talking about is useful, what for, and to get your audience to relate. Nobody relates to foo and bar. People relate to use cases.

I used to use Hipmunk to book flights but they were recently shut down by the giant enterprise software company that bought them a while back. I went to their URL on a whim and was redirected to a statement from the enterprise software company:
"Why is SAP Concur retiring Hipmunk and Concur Hipmunk?
Simply put, our approach to providing integrated T&E management has evolved."
That "simply put" is doing a lot of heavy lifting

I don't know who needs to see it, but this breakdown of the nuances between the roles that make up the general spectrum of what DevRel is – is a very helpful thing to identify and consider when building teams. 🙌 https://devrel.net/dev-rel/is-developer-relations-the-same-thing-as-community-management

@PBOTinfo @tedwheeler why do you prioritize ticketing for "no front plate", which endangers no one, but can't prioritize "daylighting" at intersections, which is literally killing people?

We had a record number of submissions this year, which meant we could not fit all of the great proposals into the 4 days as is! We wish we could extend the conference by a week or more to fit it all in!

I actually labbed this type of environment for release testing at a prior employer. Drove the devs nuts, but reminding them they were building this app for their users in mobile environments was important.
And this made our clients very very happy. It also became a key talking point for corporate sales of our service.

Every time you pay rent instead of putting that money toward your own home, you’re flushing money down the toilet.

Every time you buy groceries instead of a farm, same thing.

Don’t even get me started on aluminum foil.

hot take: Adobe would not be the juggernaut it is today if it clamped down on piracy of Photoshop. Every HS/college kid I knew in the 90s (including me) had a cracked copy of Photoshop, then got a job that purchased a copy (and everyone is an Adobe Creative Cloud customer today)

A reminder that almost any tech app you use has an admin feature called "impersonate" where employees can log in and act as you, no password required

Can someone please explain me why YouTubers use the weirdest faces in their YouTube thumbnail? It looks like they have just farted. Is this some kind of thumbnail strategy that I am not aware of? 🤔 #youtube #thumbnail #YouTubers

You just got to love this footnote by @chriscoyier. And it is your daily reminder that every time you hit publish on Medium, you actually pay with your work and give up control over it in exchange for “reach”.

Own your work. Publish on your own site. 👊 #takebackyourweb
