Uh omg I would LOVE to see you. What can I do to get you to come??

Yes on 50 💪

Slide at Kinference

At Kinference, truth bombs being dropped.

I love traveling solo, but sometimes I wonder if I am too good at it and am therefore bad at traveling with friends now.

Kicking things off at #MicroConf Europe: Istanbul. 👏

Screenshot of the blog post intro: Permissive vs Copyleft Open Source Published on Jul 9, 2025. The premise of copyleft licenses is attractive: Create more open source! With permissive licenses, someone can take the code and make proprietary modifications to it and sell it to other people without releasing the modifications. We want people to publish their improvements, right? With copyleft, we can force people to publish their improvements to copyleft code. Businesses will want to use our code because creating it was so much work in the first place. We need copyleft if we want more contributors, more open source, more code re-use, more freedom. Right? Wrong. In this post, I break down all the ways copyleft licenses fail to achieve their stated goals, and explain why permissive licenses succeed where copyleft fails.

I wrote a comprehensive post dispelling many incorrect assumptions about Copyleft vs Permissive open source licenses.

If you author/contribute to open source code, it's worth reading and understanding these nuances!

Anyone out there with a YT channel with over 100K subscribers in a tech niche?

I'm working on the @microconf.com YouTube strategy (www.youtube.com/@microconf) and would love to have someone to run quick questions on strategy by.

Consultant recommendations welcome too!

Planning an event for @tinyseed.com founders/community and I'm glad that, because it's not a public event, I can use ridiculous illustrations like this to make people laugh.

Enjoy the beach in your suits, folks!

Heck yeah! 👏👏👏

@snook.ca Totally agree re: your "comments were a mistake" post, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. They really contributes to the community divide we have now, and has made divisive opinions seem more "the norm" and thus attracting followers rather than staying isolated.

I've gotten an opportunity to use Webflow for work and goodness, is this a cool product. 🙌

I feel vindicated! Ain’t got the time to learn a new framework when jquery still does everything I need for my lil projects.

Weeee

Yeah, 100% agree

Same! :(

True creativity comes from knowing when to break the rules, something that #AI isn’t good at. @tracyosborn.com #microconf @microconf.com

Einar Vollset has a new look @MicroConf. Next up: Will #AI kill #SaaS? #microconf @tracyosborn.com

We’re kicking off #MicroConf New Orleans with Dr. Sherry Walling as she dives into the psychological journey of entrepreneurship.

She’ll share actionable strategies to build resilience, manage stress, and protect your well-being as a founder. 🧘‍♀️

See you soon!

You’ll be missed!!

Heading to New Orleans for our flagship @microconf.com conference. 🎉

👏👏👏

Yess, yesss, the more I can get you here, the more likely that I will win

😆 Blast from the past there...

I hope things are well for you! I have a $1,000 bet with Einar that Bluesky will be around still in a year so I'm rather motivated to keep it going. 😆

Haha hey, it's been forever! I'm now the Head of Product at @tinyseed.com @microconf.com so things are super busy! (Which reminds me that I should set up a collab again with @indiehackers.com sometime...)

👀 Going to lurk on this thread because I am curious too!
