- Ben’s rule: in any area of the creator economy - podcasts, newsletters, socials - there are 3,257 times as many people selling “how to make money doing Y” courses as there are people who actually make money doing Y.
- 🌸 I just expanded the “Open House” with two lessons from The Joy of React! This means that four lessons from my two flagship courses are currently publicly available, no registration or anything required. 😄 If you’ve been curious about what my courses are like, now’s your chance to find out. ✨

- I have some (misplaced?) optimism that all mediocre content will be branded "AI slop", even if it isn't AI, and we'll have renewed appreciation for excellent content with personal character.

View full threadThat has however made me an epic hypocrite seeing as my first blog post in years was a quasi-listicle davidbeesley.co.uk/posts/my-key...
- I don't think listicles are inherently bad. Even skimming this, it's nothing like how AI writes. AI content is so suffocatingly 'safe' and lightweight.

- I am proud to be backing the Football Governance Bill. I’m doing it for a more sustainable future for Cheltenham Town FC, so fans have a bigger say in the game and our precious footballing heritage is protected.
- when starting a new project repo, choosing a tech stack, etc, i try to always ask the hard and important questions right up front, such as: “how do i work this?”, “what is that beautiful house?”, “where does that highway go to?”, “am I right? am I wrong?”, and “my god! what have I done?”
- I'm teaming up with @smashingconf.com once again, but this time for an in-person workshop in NYC this summer! smashingconf.com/workshops/wo...
- Had a fantastic time at #AllDayHey @heypresents.com in Leeds. Ninth year it's been running and I finally got to attend! Was a real pleasure to give a talk here. I'm already looking forward to returning this time next year to see folks at the next one! Best part of events like this is the community.

- It was a privilege to be invited back to speak at @heypresents.com All Day Hey! Thank you so much to the whole team. I’ve got a hard day lined up where I’m meeting my MP to ask him to give my human rights back. If you liked my talk, some kind feedback would mean an awful lot today ❤️ #AllDayHey
