@seachanger the other upside to this term would be it intuitively encourages choosing a niche small/medium-sized instance/neighbourhood instead of an enormous “default” one
I was messing around with my savings and started thinking about how nice having a chart like this in the Wealthsimple app would be for project forecasting.
Too often, I see people create project forecasts that commit to a date. What I teach them to do is think about ranges.
In an investing or saving context, this picture makes lots of sense.
@levisan hm that’s not new though — i remember that as a major talking point from when i first got interested in this sort of thing in the early 2000s. comparing the amount of people that could move on the same size road w cars vs bikes vs buses vs light rail, comparing neighbourhood with and without parking, etc
@malcolm ah nice! i hadn’t even heard of it til my friend ben booked it. so curious about georgina island — was told you can’t take the ferry there without an invitation from someone in the tribe?
@KatLS @muttonchop @pluralistic well, obv cory and ayn don’t share much in terms of worldviews, but can’t deny that she wrote speculative fiction that very much convinced a lot of folks who read it to see the world her way! walkaway seems to me like an anti-atlas shrugged

rand was less problematic and longwinded
@rmondello hah! that actually sounds kinda badass though…
Sadly, over 2/3 of us were laid off from SuperHi yesterday. I’ll miss being a part of that team, wish them all the very best! More context: https://piperhaywood.com/a-long-overdue-work-update/
I’m looking for new opportunities that would suit a design-adjacent front-end engineer who is passionate about accessibility, documentation, and building maintainable codebases. Ideally looking for a remote role at a USA- or UK-based org, or in-person at an NYC-based org.
Boosts appreciated! 💙
@piper that sucks big time. hope you find something good! checked out your site just now and love the stuff with your story about going from freelance to full-time employment — i did the same, but am now back to freelance and it’s so much better than it was last time! esp in terms of balancing time with kids/house stuff.
@cardamomaddict hah, forgotten by who? not by millennials at least — i at least can testify as a millennial (i'm 40) that for people my age, gen x'ers were the cool older kids we wished we could be like
