Why are there more liked tweets in my timeline than tweets from the people I’m following. Is it only the algo timeline now.

Btw, if you ever find yourself publishing a piece for the eng blog at your company, you have done most of the work and it's ready to be ported to a meetup/conference presentation (you knew that was coming). After a CFP + acceptance, you simply need to organize the content.

Do people who cold email for clients for their crappy SEO or website building business ever get clients? These people don’t even have a website usually. And when you don’t get replies to the first spam message you’ve sent, why follow up?
