Got the email from #SparkPost that their grandfathered free plan will be discontinued? 😕 Ask us about alternatives to SparkPost as an SMTP email gateway for self hosted marketing tools such as #Mautic. Our top recommendations: Amazon SES, SendGrid, MailJet

"You can easily..." "It's just..." "Clearly..." "And then simply..." We mean: "I want to encourage you!" A reader might think: "It's not simple or clear or easy for me! Why don't I 'just' understand it like the writer? Everything is hard. I suck." Let's write docs with empathy! – at Minneapolis, MN

In light of the Australian government passing this ‘ridiculous’ #aabill, we will be moving ALL operations and development of the new hodlco.io platform to facilities outside of Australian controls. Goodbye Australia. #NoLongerAFreecountry #whenhumanrights #Bitcoin

There are so many job openings at the moment. Why shouldn't employees be able to screen companies for stuff like "proper parental leave, sane vacation policies, small-to-mid size, is profitable, allows remote?" or any other concern they care about before applying?
