    by

    Being Successful Makes It Easy to Say: Don’t Collect Emails

    by

    From DHH on Signal vs Noise If you have a mailing list that’s worth signing up for, you don’t need to trick, cajole, or bribe people in other to get them on board. You only need to do that when you know that most people wouldn’t voluntarily join. That’s a pretty weirdly coercive play. While…
