Today @Ghost crossed $10M ARR, as a bootstrapped non-profit foundation building open source software.

Indie publisher revenue earned with Ghost now ~$130M, and accelerating.

The world of technology is shifting rapidly, and so is the world of media, creators and journalism. It's hard to keep up with, and even harder to predict.

My strong belief, though, is that open software that you own and control is going to be even more important and relevant in the future than it is now.

So we're going to keep building it.

Two approaches to competition:

Type 1. Zero sum — "competitors must be killed"
Status games, shady tactics, delusions of grandeur, frat-bro hustle energy, always working an angle. Belief that the only way to win is if others lose.

Type 2. Abundance — "a rising tide raises all ships"
Long term thinking, open cooperation, shared resources, compounding interest, authenticity. Belief that the best way to win is to grow the market.

Both approaches can be very successful, depending on whether you're more motivated by having friends or having enemies.

I’m a little embarrassed to post this since everyone else probably already knew, but @adamwathan just told me about this command:

Log out and back in. I've basically been living with a blurry film over my XDR display for years. 😭
