Yesterday I was wasting a little time on LinkedIn between calls. I ran across this post by April Dunford which resonated heavily with me and introduced me to a term I’d not previously heard: main character energy (or syndrome, I guess). I rolled up my sleeves and waded into the comments as a thought-follower, offering…

If you were to take a stroll through Hit Subscribe’s offering page, you’d see that we now have a first-class “traffic recovery” offering. We added this because of the frequency with which we field the question, “Why is my [usually organic] traffic declining?!” In fact, we field that question so frequently that I’m writing this…
What Is Leaky Abstraction? All software APIs are about abstractions. The API itself is a way to abstract away implementation details, so that the code consuming the API doesn’t need to worry about those details. Most of the time, that’s a terrific benefit. Consider something like an operating system windowing API. As a developer, that…

Recently, I wrote a post about changing Hit Subscribe’s positioning, which I intend to distribute to clients and prospects in appropriate situations. I shared it to DaedTech as well, assuming that an audience of (I think, still) largely engineers might find the positioning insight interesting. What I didn’t expect was the traction among developer marketing…
Minimum viable product (MVP), as defined by Eric Ries in the Lean Startup, is a fascinating term. It has a specific meaning in the context that he defined it, but it also has a highly-inferable, slightly-wrong meaning if you simply happen to know what each of those three words mean. I imagine a whole lot…
Since its founding, Hit Subscribe has had terrible positioning. And this has been entirely my fault. Now, before this self-flagellation descends into “awkward to watch,” I will offer two important mitigating considerations: Hit Subscribe’s new business has always been at least 95% pure inbound, so bad positioning has never been an acute pain. Almost all…
Getting Started With Azure Serverless Serverless computing represents a paradigm shift in how we build, deploy and scale cloud applications. By decoupling infrastructure and server management from code development, developers are free to put a single focus on fine-tuning code in app development. The era of serverless computing puts innovation at center stage and removes…

Lately, I’ve found myself fielding client questions related to Google’s creatively named “Search Generative Experience (SGE)”. This is hardly surprising, given that it uses generative AI, and generative AI has forced Gartner to redraw its hype cycle curve with a peak of inflated expectations that now extends about 50 miles into space. (I cringe to…

A former techie herself, Angela is the owner of Lambda Editing, where she provides editing and beta reading services to fiction authors. Here, she…
For my first blog entry on 2024’s ledger (BTW, happy new year!) I’m going to do a little double-duty. As you can see from a little slice of my Asana task list, I owe our account managers an updated SOP for identifying client refresh candidates. However, since it’s that time of year when everyone’s “best…
