Good morning. Last call. Today is the last day to give your feedback. It can be anonymous and it can be just a few words. Remind the EU Commission you want a company law that is fully digital, notary-free and that we don't want notaries in the future of company law. It is important as keeping the notary system will stop us from having automated company law, digital-first and allow tomorrow to manage your company filings from you mobile phone, using your fintech tools, banks, etc. Thank you for all the Europeans who already have started to do so. Something like "I am a founder and I want to be able, like in Delaware or UK, to be able to register my company filings online, without the need for outdated notaries. Entrepreneurs and their investors do not want the outdated notary system" We need much more. Tens, hundreds of you to go there. It's 4 minutes of your time that could change things for the better. Thank you Time to speak up: ec.europa.eu/info/law/better…

Anyone have experience upgrading a Chrome extension from Manifest v2 to v3? I've got a relatively small extension (tiny React app inside popup.html). Currently looking for a freelancer to help ahead of the June deprecation deadline 😄 Any tips/referrals/etc appreciated!

I wrote a step-by-step guide to blocking AI bots from harvesting your site, designed for developers and sysadmins. Over 90% of the sites I’ve reviewed in the last two months have had more requests from bot traffic than humans. AI bots are scraping your site for purposes like: ▶ building models off your data ▶ finding security vulnerabilities in your site ▶ setting up comparisons of your site and data vs your competitors I outline how to: 📍Sort out your AI bot strategy. 📍How to identify and track AI bots hitting your site. 📍What tools should you apply when asking bots not to scrape fails? 📍What immediate steps can you take in your robots.txt file to stop AI bots? ✅ So why is now the time to dig into this? It’s still early days for AI, and there’s a land grab going on for your data. Big tech, startups, and even governments are rushing ahead, and you’re playing without all the information you need. This gets you up to speed fast. Reply with “WTF AI Bots” follow me, and I’ll DM you the guide.

Finally put up the sign my cofounder gave me for Christmas. It feels so official having our logo on my (home) office door 😌

US tipping culture is so confusing. Today I went to a restaurant, paid a 20% tip via self-serve ordering app, and then proceeded not to interact with a single person while there?

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the SaaS company without publicly available pricing.

I recently analyzed 250,000 search results to answer a specific question: Do sites owned by media companies attain more first-place rankings than independent webmasters? And if so, just how dominant are they? Really hope you enjoy v1 of this idea. detailed.com/state-of-conten…

Looking good Monica! I've been using Affilmate for about 6 months now. Highly recommended! Do feel free to check it out using my referral link 😉 affilimate.com/?aid=VwmKn8wt… I'd be dreadful at affiliate marketing if I didn't include that, let's be honest.

Working on our first AI feature at Affilimate 👀 It's one of those things where — if we didn't tell you it's AI — you'd think it's a "normal, useful feature" that just works like magic. As it should be!

Working on a fun UI to allow publishers to segment affiliate content by custom tags 🔥 So you can find out which categories / topics / content types are earning the most revenue, most effectively. Very curious to see how people use this in practice!

This weekend ChatGPT helped me write a bunch of more complex Postgres queries and 🤯 My favorite is how it responds to "OK, what if I want to [do X instead]" and just "What's wrong with this query: [SQL here]". Probably saved me 2 hours!
