New episode of Cortex out today: Myke talks to Steph Ango, CEO of Obsidian, about building tools for thought, working without meetings, managing knowledge with markdown and links, and how a seven-person team builds software used by millions. I have had the pleasure of having many thoughtful and interesting guests
New Cortex: Myke talks to Jason Schreier of Bloomberg about the realities of reporting – how stories start, how sources are built, and how he balances fast-moving news with the slower, deeper work of writing books. I spend a lot of my free time listening to podcasts about video game news.

When I started the State of the Workflow series, I realised that it had been a long time since I’d been a guest on non-Relay podcasts — especially in an interview format. Once I started asking people to appear on my show, it only felt right that I should take
What a week it has been! I’ll be honest, the week-long rollout of press releases from Apple has left my head spinning a bit. When Apple holds a keynote, it’s very natural that I weigh products by their importance and focus on the ones that have the most
It feels like this week the Apple year has started to kick off. Next week we have the “Apple Experience” event, which will presumably be a week of press releases announcing new products. The expectation is that most of the announcements will be spec bumps to existing products, but the
Tomorrow Sophia turns one. This is obviously a time of reflection for Adina and me, especially today, as we think back to what we were doing before an unexpected early arrival. When I see pictures of myself on the day Sophia was born, I feel like I’m looking at
