Problems mean opportunities: I moved my podcast to a new platform
B
👋Hi there! I'm Bear, a designer who lives and works in Auckland, NZ with my daughter and wife. I do podcasts, blogging and videos between my work and family hours.

Problems mean opportunities - that's so true. Screen Shot 2022-07-06 at 7.00.32 PM

I got an email this week from my podcast server provider which said my podcast was downloaded so many times (3.75M so far in 2 years), and they cannot afford the bandwidth. They decided to raise the price from $30 per month to $150! (So it seems the so-called ‘unlimited plan’ is not real unlimited)

I think it's a good time to move on - did some research about replatform and found a really good provider, which took me half an hour for the whole replatform process. Now my podcast is in a new place with better features and a lower price. Without this pain point to force me to move on, I would stay at the status quo.

It's also similar to our career and life decisions. Challenge and struggle mean opportunities to change, or even better: improvement.

我将播客迁移到了新的平台

有问题就有机会:前几天收到播客服务商的信,说要把我的播客收费涨价,从现在的两个播客,37美元/月涨到150美元/月!肉痛之下我一通调研猛如虎,找到一个更好的选择,完全一样甚至更好的服务,还有全局插入广告的功能(我一直想要的功能),收费只是12美元/月。

目前迁移中。迁移也是自动化的,点几下鼠标,20分钟应该就搞定。最多再重新配置一下域名,1小时内迁移完400多期几百G的节目,也是厉害了。

成熟的商业社会真好,你跟不上,我就换平台,用脚投票。服务器、工具、工作啊,都这样。

我评了 21 个 Hackathon Pitch 之后,整理出这个金字塔 Pitch 公式

https://youtu.be/Vq1f6HnGddU 前不久我去当了一场 Hackathon 的评委。一天审 21 个产品 demo,每个 10 分钟讲 + 5 分钟答疑。一整天下来快六小时的内容,到最后我能清晰回忆起来的产品,不到 5 个。 不是项目不好,里面也有很真实的好点子。问题在哪? 不在产品,在结构。 将近一半的团队没等到 demo 时间就被叫停了。有几个甚至从头到尾没有真正打开过

工程师为什么离不开 Linear:一个设计师的诚实拉片

https://youtu.be/TSgkU71PaA0 PM 工具一抓一大把:Notion、Jira、Asana、ClickUp、Monday、Trello,挑个颜色都能找到一款。但为什么工程师一旦用过 Linear,就不愿意回去? 我做了十六年设计,几乎所有这些工具我都用过,作为真实用户而非测评博主。所以当一个工程师朋友说"我回不去 Jira 了"的时候,我没顺着点头,而是花了二十五分钟坐下
