Real tips from Abby: take a document that has worked for your boss or boss's boss and use it to get feedback on how to position your SEO work, and ensure that you aren't getting trapped into geeky SEO minutiae that they won't care about.

No matter how much *you* care about crawling (yeah, me too).

You: using agentic coding to solve business problems.

Me: I've always wondered what would happen if you ran PageRank on the directed graph of the English language dictionary [edge = "used in the definition of"]

"Nothing makes me happier than hearing somebody explain why something can't be done... and then copying the transcript into claude code and having it build it."

@wilreynolds.bsky.social is a menace to slow-moving teams.

The Future of TV The document discusses the increasing time spent by people watching online video as well as gaming and using the internet, which has seen large yearly increases from 2011-2013. It also talks about how television is becoming just another screen to watch content on. Some of the most popular online video services are growing significantly. This signals changes in how advertising dollars are spent and challenges for traditional broadcasters and television providers. The future of television advertising is moving increasingly digital as viewing habits change. - View online for free

With the news that Netflix is acquiring Warner Bros, I'm reminded of work I did over a decade ago on the Future of TV:
