Thanks! Who says fun is just for kids? π
Happy Daylight Savings Weirdness Time, especially to my fellow Europe founders with US/Canada customers!
Until the end of March, thereβs temporarily one hour less of a time difference π
Thatβs a lovely little picnic youβve got there!
I should just drop the link! Find an adult gymnastics class near you π€ΈββοΈ
www.adult-gymnastics.com/find-an-adul...
Haha yeah! Iβm on an adult trampoline and tumbling team
Anyway, I post this bc most people think it is a sport only for kids. It was for a long time, but not anymore!
The adult gymnastics community is awesome, and Iβd be happy to help you find a local class.
Whether youβve never done a handstand or used to be competitive, youβd be welcomed
Note for the gymnasts: yes I am aware the back handsprings are way too high and that I didnβt set properly for the tuck. I donβt normally do that! π Normally the bhs are done better and I do a layout. But Iβve got a bad cold at the moment and was a bit off, honestly not sure how I pulled it off tbh
π€ΈββοΈ Every year in gymnastics, my goal is to show a harder tumbling pass than the previous year.
I didnβt think I would this year, as I spent the whole fall out with back issues and only started training again in Dec.
But I did it β added a back handspring to my pass! Makes me happy
Haha, thanks!
Unedited makes it easier for us to publish, so thatβs good to hear :)

For those not familiar it is two women doing SaaS, software and stuff having very worthwhile conversations.
Good to hear you again @mjwhansen.com :)
Is Colleen on here?
What a treat!
I never thought Iβd say this to someone, but Iβm so glad you got chicken pox, Olly.
Ohh, jeez. Wishing you a full recovery!
π«Άπ«Ά glad we were able to keep you company on your rainy walk!
Todayβs rainy dog walk was one of the best Iβve had for a while thanks to the return of this: softwaresocial.dev/episodes/wer...

Anyone else seeing blank pages for projects in Linear right now?
Just got back from Laracon EU and already excited for Laracon US. Looking forward to seeing so many old and new friends this summer in Boston!
haha i'm glad i'm not the only one thought about this. I remarked on it to @codemonkey.io when we arrived π
I felt complimented
Summary: Users choose AI to explore and synthesize information; but they rely on traditional search when accuracy and trust are critical. Users are increasingly turning to generative AI (genAI) for information-seeking tasks β but not uniformly. In a recent study, we observed how people chose between AI chatbots and traditional search for real tasks. Users turned to AI when they started with vague ideas, juggled multiple requirements, or combined information from many sources. They used traditional search when they needed accuracy, control, and trusted sources.
interesting implications for marketing
I uploaded some of my past talks to Claude and asked it to analyze them so I can understand, structurally, why they worked. The analysis?
"Your comedy voice is warm chaos...genuinely enthusiastic and slightly out of control"
so I'm basically the stage equivalent of an empty-the-fridge stir fry
watching Stewart Lee for the first time and god he's brilliant
The @geocod.io team is at Laracon EU, and weβre hiring engineers!
Talk to me, @codemonkey.io, or Sylvester Damgaard if intrigued π
Are you Laracon EU?
Do you identify as a woman or non-binary?
Then come to the Larabelles happy hour tonight! π«Ά
