Nick Taylor on January 07, 2024

Another year, another year in review. Let's get to it! Work 2022 ended with layoffs at Netlify, so coming back from the Christmas break...

Thanks, Nick! I’m lucky to be on your team and to see you crushing it everyday. I’m convinced that if you didn’t need sleep, you could take over the world 😎

Good on you for leaving Netlify. Companies that use multiple rounds of layoffs as a cost cutting measure need to learn that it affects everyone. It's hard on "survivors" too. The best people have options and move on.

Thanks, Glen. It was a tough decision as I worked with some awesome people.

Great job on your year in review @nickytonline! It's exciting to hear you're at OpenSauced now -- I love the mission and what @bdougieyo and your crew are building.

QQ: I'm curious on the Twitch streaming versus just going straight to YouTube Live / YT Premiere -- often I see that majority of developers I'm working with all have YT and just the gamer-center devs having/caring about Twitch. Also I find that the livestream recordings perform best on YT over time and Twitch makes it circular to access. Would love to know your perspective on this!

Here's to a stellar 2024 for you and what you build 🥳 🛠️

Thanks Chris!

Yeah, I've been thinking about where to stream. A lot of folks I know stream to multiple platforms. I tried briefly streaming on multiple platforms but was worried about diluting a following, but I think I may do it again. Can't hurt. Plus I'm trying to bump my YT numbers up anyways.

Here's to an awesome 2024 to you as well!
