Mailing List Cleanup - MicroConf (Part 2)
(This is part of an open ended series of posts where I write down random things I feel are sharable from the years of mailing lists I’ve not caught up on…)
This is Part 2 of the MicroConf mailing list. Part 2 starts at the covers 2024 and appears they switched up the format a bit. So there will be 1 more for this one.
Because I already listen to the Podcast and don’t care about YouTube, the cool stuff is in the ‘Bootstrapper News’ section. And even that is kinda slim pickings. It is all AI related or links to articles behind paywalls. Dear newsletter curators – clearly indicate in the copy if it is registration or paywalled. One might even suggest that it is AI written given the nubmer of emojis bulleting lists, how the news all happens to be from Entrepeneur.com, etc.
The first part of the archive is still available; Part 1. (He says ‘still available’ as if things expire from the internet.)
