📡 This one is half of 🩳
Hello and welcome to Pulse — the weekly techie/businessy newsletter from @perspectiveix. I’m your host, Ben, and I’m sorry I’m late.
This is a quite short pulse - sorry, I guess. It hasn’t been the best/most productive week for me. Haven’t had the time to do much reading; life was in my way.
Now, you dive in, while I go start the next Pulse.
