But the reward on the other side is second to none; the 100 or so first employees at LinkedIn don’t need to work anymore, he added. Microsoft purchased the professional networking platform for $26.2 billion in 2016.

If you haven’t read 🔗📚 Ollie Henderson’s Future Work/Life you should. Excellent.
This particular quote reminds me of something that Jason Fried wrote in one of his books ..
New technologies tend to imitate the old until people figure out what they’re really meant to do. Early websites were brochures. Early cars looked like horse-drawn carriages. Early TV shows were radio shows with pictures.
💬 Jason Fried
So too work. We ‘broke’ work about 5 years ago - but slowly people (Corporates) are ‘fixing it’ (As in making us all go back to our old ways.) This is because they are still looking at work through the lens of the brochure/horseless carriage. It will be a while before we break it again - BUT - it will be broken but only once we have truly unpacked how the new world of work works.
I’ve got ideas. I’ve got people. I’m excited for the future.
🔗 ‘A Complete Disaster,’ Says Daniel Ives About Tesla Stock
The EV giant delivered 336,681 vehicles in Q1 – falling far short of Wall Street’s expectation of around 378,000. Even the more cautious analyst forecasts, hovering near 360,000, were missed by a wide margin. In all, Tesla missed consensus by more than 10% and underperformed even the lowest projections by about 20,000 vehicles. Deliveries also tumbled 13% year-over-year, the sharpest quarterly drop in the company’s history.
.. and then …
And yet, in a twist straight out of the Musk playbook, Tesla stock staged a comeback. After plunging as much as 6%, shares flipped positive – up 5% – on a Politico report suggesting Musk might step away from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Really? If he stops DOGE it’s all going to be ok? Where do these people live?

He’s not alone with that thought. Comcast has been moving deck chairs for a while now.
But this is more a demonstration of another media company bending the knee.

A timely reminder. It’s RSS in general - good, but Phil also writes specifically about Substack.
I found that if you enter
/rssafter the URL for an author or category page, you get RSS for that author or category.
Meanwhile Substack’s own help. - says to tack on ‘feed’ not ‘rss’.
I do find that both work - and sometimes neither - which is more often than not because of the beginning of the URL …
Replace “your” with the name of your Substack publication.
It isn’t always clear (to me at least) what that ‘your’ replacement should be.
Bonus - If you use Reeder
If you just put the URL https://
