Yes, it's a good article about AirSend - which I use for work.

Thanks for checking us out!

Thanks for the positive feedback. We're glad you like it!

We definitely had simplicity in mind when we set out to create AirSend. Thank you for trying us out, and we look forward to your feedback!

My first concept of octopi as a highly intelligent species came from this essay: https://orionmagazine.org/article/deep-intellect/ Highly recommend it to anyone who likes these creatures.

I agree that there’s a need for communication / collaboration tools that allow easy work across organizational boundaries. MS Teams permissions to allow for outside collaborators is painfully complex.

But Slack Connect, while better than Teams, still doesn’t get the job done well. So Slack’s so called “competitive edge” isn’t that competitive.

For outside collaboration / communication - I like AirSend (www.airsend.io). It’s a lot simpler than Teams or Slack - less integrations, but perfect for people who work across organizational boundaries on a regular basis.

I agree... problems created by modern technology that can also be fixed by more technology :)

So true - it really helps cut down on cost

It's free, and anyone who signs up now has free lifetime membership.

That's amazing!

I've seen this work before.

There's such a focus on being proficient in our society... but being bad at stuff is not all bad. It's only bad if you don't accept it and move forward more strategically.

The ability to recognize and admit the areas where we struggle / are mediocre actually allows us to better accomplish our goals.

It took me a long time to realize this... I don't need to be good at anything to make and sell an app, for example. I can outsource the app development, outsource the website design, outsource the marketing... basically - hire people to do all of the work for me. You might say - that takes money! I don't even need to have the money or know how to write a business plan. All I need is an idea - then I outsource the writing of the business plan and use that business plan to attract investors.

There are a lot of very skilled people out there - why not just borrow their skills to accomplish what you want to accomplish?

It's true. The hiring market is a market, which means companies compete with each other to attract the best talent they can - and sometimes they lose out on that competition.

Interesting theory. I'd like to add that the higher success rate that occurs when you focus on one point may not be connected to weirdness.

People have limited headspace and attention spans. Whether your ideas are "weird" or not, if you try to push too many, you lower the success rate of all of them.

That's why many brands / marketers choose one or two key characteristics or selling points. More, and the brand is diluted / the audience gets confused.

That makes sense haha! Thanks for the tip - will keep it in mind for next time.

Meditation! So many mental, emotional, and physical health benefits!

My not very mathematically-inclined mind: the universe is patterns.

I grow medicinal herbs in my garden and really enjoyed this article, which starts off talking about a mysterious, long-lost aphrodisiac plant and ends on a word of warning on over-harvesting. Plants, their chemical compounds, and their effects on the body are so fascinating!

While I agree that taking risks and trying new things is important, there's this saying that rolling stones don't gather moss.

If you keep moving from one thing to the next, you might become a jack of all trades but a master of none. And real accomplishment takes mastery.

Good article. Shows the importance of being able to steer in a different direction + change despite past successes.

Agreed - thank you!
