On the off-chance anyone who follows me knows someone working in Meta / Facebook support, please let me know. Literally no way to contact their support for a critical business issue

Stop putting gifs in blog posts please. So distracting. Also wishing it was standard to click a gif to pause it

Another beautiful day in Chiang Mai 😷 Feel like I’m in a lockdown again. Stuck in apartment beside air filter. Heading to Europe next week and after years of this I’ll never take clean air for granted again

Really looking forward to @Cloudflare D1 database. Love their Pages/Workers platform. Simplest serverless setup by a mile, but having to connect out to AWS etc for database was always offputting.
Small earthquake in Chiang Mai, Thailand. On 10th floor and definitely felt building swaying

Makes me appreciate how far Ireland has come in that regard. Gone are the days where someone smokes at the table next to you or your clothes smell like an ashtray after a night out
Second visit to Split in Croatia, and second earthquake. Small one but still such a weird unsettling feeling

🎉 I'm going to give one random person that retweets this $10,000. Because I’d rather spend my ad budget on you than BigTech 👩‍💻 I'm trying to promote my site Remote OK which helps you find a remote job so you don't need to go back to the office 💖 Thx! remoteok.com/?ref=twga2021

While I love living in Asia, the challenges of running a growing business from this timezone often feels like a 2x difficultly multiplier. Tons of unread messages in the mornings and regular late night calls can really be a drag

When a standup becomes a standoff
Driving a moped in a heavy thunderstorm is terrifying 😅
Any Irish folks know of a good international tax expert in Ireland? #ireland #startups #tax
Our daily error logs were so slow to load with ElasticSearch and Kibana (even for low volumes) that I ended up writing a puppeteer script to screenshot the pages and post to Slack every day. Big win. So much faster to review now
