I am looking for a way for User 1 to share their browser (our app) view with User 2.There are a handful of solutions out there like cobrowse.io, samesurf.com, etc but they are all marketed as CX tools and priced per seat.We're interested in using this for CX but our use case extends past that where we actually want users to be able to share with other users. This makes the per-seat pricing untenable for us.We're open to paying for a SaaS, self-hosting something, or even doing some cust
How do you diversify away from a tech salary?
The ups and downs of the job market especially with AI is making me pretty nervous. Also I am about to hit 40 and this industry isn't the most age friendly. How do you diversify your income stream?

Friday Squid Blogging: Safe Quick Undercarriage Immobilization Device
Fifteen years ago I blogged about a different SQUID. Here’s an update: Fleeing drivers are a common problem for law enforcement.
