I’ve spent a lot of time trying to solve the “calendar tetris” problem. You know the one—where you spend twenty minutes on a Sunday night dragging blue boxes around Google Calendar, only for one 10:00 AM meeting on Monday to run over and turn the rest of your week into a chaotic mess. It’s exhausting. … Read more
I’ve spent the last six hours staring at a blinking cursor and a sidebar filled with red, yellow, and green circles. If you’ve worked in content for more than twenty minutes, you know the feeling. You want to write something that actually helps people, but there’s that nagging voice in the back of your head—or … Read more
I spent three hours yesterday trying to trim a simple interview. Usually, this involves the “dance of the playhead”—scrubbing back and forth in Premiere Pro, trying to find the exact millisecond where the speaker says “um” without cutting off the start of their next sentence. It’s tedious. It’s muscle-memory intensive. And frankly, it feels a … Read more
I remember when Quizlet was just a digital stack of index cards. You typed in a word, you typed in a definition, and you flipped them until you stopped getting them wrong. It was simple, if a bit tedious. Lately, though, the platform has been trying to do the heavy lifting for you. They’ve introduced … Read more
I’ve spent a lot of time looking at support desks, and usually, they all feel the same. You install a widget, you set up some “if this, then that” rules, and you hope your customers don’t get frustrated by the obvious canned responses.

I’ll be honest: most of what we see in the educational tech space lately feels like a shortcut. It’s usually about getting to the answer faster, finishing the homework sooner, or summarizing a book so you don’t have to read it. When I first sat down with Khanmigo, I expected more of the same—a polished … Read more
I’ve spent a lot of time staring at CRM dashboards, and usually, the feeling is one of mild dread. It’s the “data entry tax”—that tax you pay in time just to keep the gears of a business turning. So, when HubSpot started weaving its new automated features into the fabric of their “hubs,” I was … Read more
If you’ve spent any time in the design world lately, you’ve probably had Figma shoved down your throat. It’s become the “default.” But “default” doesn’t always mean it’s the right tool for your specific desk or your specific team. I remember when everyone said the same about Sketch, and before that, Photoshop—back when we were … Read more
I’ve spent a lot of time in the guts of various CRMs over the years. Some feel like they were built by engineers who have never actually spoken to a customer, while others feel like a glorified Excel sheet with a fresh coat of paint. HubSpot is different, but not always in the way the … Read more
If you’ve spent any time in the world of “no-code” automation, you’ve likely felt the itch. You start with something simple—maybe a Zapier account that automatically saves email attachments to Google Drive. It’s magic. It works. Then, your needs grow. You want to filter those emails, extract data from the PDFs, update a CRM row, … Read more
