Even the big spaces like Twitter have their own corners within them. The difference between big places and small corners though is that the latter continues to design intentionally for the specific corner crowd.

Product Hunt and Angel List was designed specifically from the get-go for a niche case. A...

Indie Hackers often use the rhetoric of only wanting to make X money or not needing to make it big, but when I observe their message I think they still don't realize just how big their ask is.

After ~two months at my parents' place I'm back in the  812 . On the drive yesterday my girlfriend asked whether I missed my parents. 

"No. But I do love them so much more after this visit. But I do not miss them. Right now."
