Detroit has some great suburbs (check out areas like Ferndale and Plymouth/Canton), but don’t write off Detroit based on what you’ve read in the media. A lot of people in Michigan are in the same boat as you and are missing out on what Detroit has to offer because of what they think Detroit is.

It’s really flat here compared to California, you can’t just drive a couple hours to get what you call hills and we call mountains. The Great Lakes are great but they’re not an ocean.

Flights from DTW are more expensive than from big cities. It’s funny that Detroit is 2,000 miles closer to Europe than SFO, but flights to Europe from SFO are cheaper.

We started getting wildfire smoke from Canada this year, but I imagine we’re still doing better than SoCal.

California is still more progressive than Michigan, but we also don’t have as much craziness around ballot initiatives.

I adore Detroit, but it’s no LA or SF. Chicago is about 4 hours away.

Document document document.

Also, the nice thing about libraries, frameworks, and CMSs is that they already have documentation. If it seems like a pain to learn one of those, imagine how much worse it would be for someone to learn custom code that doesn’t have any resources on Google.

Here's a Masto post from an ex-employee:

Thinking about making a "I was part of the Tumblr activityPub federation project ask me how it ended" t-shirt and wear it on my PFP here.

The CEO posted this reply to Twitter, acknowledging that Meta had beaten Tumblr to the Fediverse.

Here's a screenshot of a post suggesting it's not a high priority.

It’s not the best experience, but it works. It also means that Mastodon users can boost Lemmy posts and other Mastodon users may wind up commenting.

I saw your post on Mastodon, that’s where I found out about it!

Google’s promotion-pack culture strikes again. You don’t get promoted at Google for “maintaining a successful product and keeping people happy.” You do get promoted for launching a new product, even if it competes with another well-liked Google product.

So if you want to be successful at Google, you launch a new chat service.
