INTRODUCING FIZZY Have you noticed that every issue and idea tracking tool you loved slowly morphed into boring, sluggish, corporate bloatware? Trello put on 40 pounds of cruft. Jira started charging by the migraine. Asana tried to become everything to everyone. GitHub Issues slipped into a steady state of...

EVERYONE’S GOT ISSUES has been a guiding light for Fizzy. Nearly all bug/issue trackers are targeted to software developers. For good reason! Software has a lot of bugs. And since most trackers are built for developers, they tend to be overly technical. Their UIs are dark and menacing. Their hooks tie into other technical tools. They speak the language of the software industry, intimidating anyone who isn’t part of it. But, it’s not like software has a monopoly on bugs, issues, and stuff going wrong. Software is just a tiny slice of the problem pie. Manage a rental? You know all about locks that stick, drains that run slow, and tenants who find new “features” weekly. Run a classroom? You know all about things that go missing, that projector that won’t turn on, flicking fluorescents that need to be changed. Run a retail shop? You know all about busted displays, stocking issues, the cracked front door glass that needs swapping. Run a restaurant? You know all about juggling burnt-out light bulbs over table 6, a walk-in cooler that randomly decides to thaw, wobbly tables that need leveling. Run a place of worship? You know all about the deafening mic feedback, the thermostat on the fritz in the basement, the folding chairs that squeak. Run an animal shelter or food bank? You know all about the cracked kennel latches, flickering freezer light, or the donation bin that’s overflowing again. Parent of school-age kids? You know all about being a full-time project manager for broken recorders, missing left shoes, the device that won’t take a charge anymore (if you can find the charger at all). And don’t get me started about home ownership! The list never ends because life never stops breaking in small, annoying, hilarious ways. So yeah, can you imagine any of these people opening Jira, Linear, or GitHub Issues and thinking, “Perfect, this is exactly what I need to fix the squeaky folding chairs at church”? Of course not. Which is why they’ve turned to WhatsApp groups that scroll into oblivion, frantic texts, sticky notes that slip away, and a whole lot of “Oh I’ll remember... crap, I didn’t.” Fizzy isn’t trying to turn the world into developers. But developers have known about the benefits of this kind of tooling for years. And Fizzy’s a great fit for technical work — we’re using it at 37signals for exactly that. But tracking stuff visually like this is useful for just about anyone. Basic kanban is really a breakthrough. We can all benefit from an organized, systematized, vibrant, visual approach to seeing things through from frustration to done! And while tooling exclusively for developers says “go away” to anyone who’s not in that club, Fizzy says “come on in”. WE’VE ALL GOT ISSUES. Now get them done. Like this property manager...

Former Fox News host Geraldo Rivera: “By focusing on the censorship aspect and the First Amendment aspect, it’s losing sight of what should be the lead and that’s that Jimmy Kimmel owes the family of Charlie Kirk and his wife Erika, two small children, an apology. You know, you know, what’s he saying? That if you’re if you’re a member of MAGA and Charlie is a friend of MAG, of MAGA, then he had it coming. It’s just — it’s — it’s in some ways — it’s very — it’s — extremely — extremely insensitive. The country is in a country is in a very tough spot right now. Everyone is walking on eggshells. The First Amendment is not a license to incite hatred and, you know, I think that we can think that we can start the discussion once Jimmy Kimmel apologizes, then they can talk about the business aspects and whether or not he gets whether or not he gets back on the schedule and so forth, but there’s got to there’s got to be a recognition that a terrible thing has happened here, and that millions of Americans are grievously hurt by what happened. You know, there is a — Charlie Kirk was beloved by many. And to just trample over it. He’s not even buried yet for goodness sake. And to make fun of the flags at half staff and so forth. I just half staff and so forth. I just think that we’ve got to look at it with a — with a notion that the country has to be healed, that we have to work to bring people together, that we need to respect each other. You know, we don’t have to agree, but we have to respect. And I think that, you know, the audience has deserted him for a good reason.”

Stack Overflow founder Joel Spolsky on why you should make your product free After the dot com crash, Joel read a blog post by Ev Williams titled “The End of Free.” As Joel explains, the blog post argued that software was no longer going to be free: “He was like: ‘I would rather have a company with 400 customers paying me $10 a month so that I can eat stuff than 400,000 customers that don’t pay me anything and I can’t eat stuff.’… That was very influential at the time, and we were like: ‘Yeah! We’re always going to charge for all the things.’” At the time Joel was building a remote tech support product called Copilot: “We were very much of this ‘end of free’ mentality. So we were like: ‘And it’s 5 bucks! That’s a good price for helping somebody fix their computer’.” But Joel believes this was a fatal mistake: “What we should have done is made it free and then figured out how to pay for it later, which would have been to go to professional tech support departments and sell them the advanced version that lets them run a team of 1,000 tech support people… And sell it to them for a million dollars. But get the marketing from the free product.” He did not make the same mistake when he founded Trello (acquired for $425M): “I think in 2000 I would’ve made that mistake again. I would’ve been like ‘Hey it’s software like Microsoft Word. It’s $20 a month or whatever.’ But what we said was we want a hundred million people to eventually use Trello, of whom the 1% that gets the most value out of it pays us $100 a year. Then it’s a $100M business and it’s worth $1 billion and we’re done.” As Joel explains: “99% of the people are just going to get it for free, but when you focus on the 1% that find it most useful, they will pay you. They will pay for added features and they will pay you anything you want because they’re making money off of it.” He gives an example of Deutsche Bank making a billion dollars a day selling derivatives - they would pay almost anything for Microsoft Excel because it’s essential to that massive business.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “The West, as a notion and as a principle upon which it is executed is obviously superior. And not acknowledging that—because by not acknowledging it or denying it, you could pretend you were smarter or better than you were—has led to enormous problems in our society. And also for the sake of humanity. We have been blessed with a resource called talent and talent management and software production that no other country has. So what does that mean for us? What does it mean for the world? How do you manage that ethically? And how do you prevent what we had—essentially we had a pagan religion that has infiltrated our universities. And that pagan religion basically says everything that’s good about America, everything that actually works, is ipso facto bad. And, by the way, you can’t talk about it not working because it’s a religion. So what? It’s not even—it’s a new religion. It’s not an old great religion like Judaism, Christianity, Islam. It’s a new religion. And the tenets are: West is bad. Nothing can work. If it works, it’s bad. And that way of thinking has corroded every aspect of our society. Last but not least, it leads to a situation where you get a complete corrosion of all institutions and into a legitimacy crisis, so no one actually believes anyone’s an expert. In the 50s, there was this famous professor, Ken Arrow, and if Ken Arrow said you were smart, you got tenure. And why did that happen? Because people knew Ken Arrow is smart. The institution he represents is the best in the world. The only thing like that currently in tech is a Palantir degree. If you work for Palantir, everyone knows you’re good. And that’s basically it. Like when we went to school, the schools actually had credibility. The science was actually science.”
