Understanding many of us in Gen X is quite easy. RATM’s first album explains everything you need to know. We felt like this album sounds in the early 90’s, and we still feel this way today. Simple.

If you manage the website for a large business, and that website has a blog or newsroom or insights or any other regularly updated content, why in the world would you choose to not produce an RSS feed for that content? Seriously! This makes absolutely no sense to me. The behavior seems especially prevalent in the fintech industry.
Not including RSS feeds is a huge missed opportunity to increase and maintain regular readership of content to help drive interest and sales in a company’s products.

A government’s most important job is to meet its promises to its citizens. For 1/8th of our neighbors, our government has failed to complete that job to make sure families had food on their tables.
It is unacceptable that the Trump administration had to be reprimanded by the courts to do the obvious thing to make sure 40 million people had food to eat. It is also unacceptable that our representatives cannot do the obvious, humane things to open our government.
It’s well past time to get back to work.

Better yet, start a self-hosted WordPress blog, install and activate the ActivityPub plugin, and completely control your content and never have to worry about a platform blocking your ability to communicate with your hard-earned audience ever again.

If you are a public figure, elected official, or a public company or organization posting on Threads, I ask you to please, please, please turn on Fediverse Sharing in your settings.
You will immediately free your content from any specific company’s servers and will make it possible for people using other apps and tools to follow your message.
This is a win-win opportunity for everyone in a time when we all need to meet people where they are.

Had a chance to watch Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost this afternoon, and it was really fantastic. Highly recommended!

Today’s AWS outage has me thinking more about redundancy for our public cloud-based offerings. Is it enough to set up failover infrastructure with the same host in a different region? Should we be considering using a different cloud provider in a different region for our replication and disaster recovery environments?
I have no doubt that other product and development managers are asking themselves the same questions today. Definitely lots to think about.
