Company culture is not written down, it’s acted out. A company’s culture is a 50-day moving average of *how it is*, not how it thinks it is, wants to be, or was supposed to be.
Email forwarding was invented in 1978. After 40+ years it’s time to end the suffering! HEY’s Shared Threads are the modern way to share emails inside organizations without the mess, the incessant indenting, etc. Forwarding is backwards —> https://t.co/E8i3yc1e8p

Whenever I have writer’s block, I don’t try to write through it. I read through it. Reading stuff like this typically snaps me out of it: https://t.co/DF9MqdVDwr
How do I know when an early idea transforms into a product with potential? When I begin to feel a certain gravity. Here’s what I mean: https://t.co/BfpXb2a7yL
“Hi, my name’s Richie and I work on cars”. What a great, short, wholesome small business story about persistence and kindness. The passing of the torch from a long-time owner to the new kid on the block (who grew up down the block) —> https://t.co/2DBupdzknp
Working on something, I could use a hand. What are the kinds of things people say “it’s none of your business” about? Things like “it’s none of your business how much money I make”… “it’s none of your business how I raise my kids”… “It’s none of your business…”?
One of my favorite interviews of all time: Mike Wallace interviewing 88 year old Frank Lloyd Wright in 1957. Cigarettes, direct questions, concise answers, civic challenges, and all. https://t.co/ogKNgQmMF5
We’ve begun moving our email at Small Technology Foundation over to @heyhey – can’t wait to hopefully not hate email again.
@dhh, join @LauraKalbag and me for a chat about HEY and small tech on Small Is Beautiful on the 18th if you’re free? (https://t.co/afR1JBproU)

*Just a note: "stop selling ads based on" is different from "stop tracking" https://t.co/uqMjCrVl1w
Switched us from google apps to @heyhey in under 5 minutes. So far, screened in/out is one of the simplest and most useful features I have ever used. So glad that you built from the ground up and not another google overlay @jasonfried@dhhhttps://t.co/aYuRJeU871

Starting the journey of moving off @gmail this week.
First personal.
Then business.
Clean slate with @heyhey.
You don't deserve to have every one of your emails read by Big Tech.
thx to @BrianRoemmele & @jasonfried for the nudge.
"When I highlight the horrors of the employee-surveillance industry, I often hear 'workers could just quit'. As though the market will surely naturally correct itself if only they would quit! Have some principles, dear workers! Oh fuck off." https://t.co/xaFe3sr6in
we finally get to see @gmail’s privacy label in the @apple App Store…it’s the “select all” option

I feel like signing up for a https://t.co/iwcfVVeIF4 email was actually like signing up a mental health coach. Thanks for making software that's got my back @basecamp -- I didn't expect to feel this RELIEVED. :)
This is one of the reasons why I’m a happy @heyhey customer. Thanks @jasonfried & @dhh for a great product where my attention & data aren’t the actual product. https://t.co/gvCMhsyR1h
