MinnPost will be there! Maybe we can round out the Twin Cities media trifecta and get Utne to show up, too.

Minnesota Tumblr folks:

One week from today, March 3, PRI is hosting its first ever Tumblr meetup. We’re gathering downstairs from our offices at Pizza Luce downtown. They’ve got a pretty darn good happy hour ($3 taps, rails & house wine). So c’mon by!

Sort of charming, and yet also vaguely disturbing. I find myself concerned for the wellbeing of my friends in the Seattle area.

First talk with Peter.

Lunches were small affairs.

Snapped this when I came in my 1st day.

Christmas party.

Sat next to Rich as he masterminded FW.

joshuanguyen:

A year ago I started at Tumblr and there was a total of 15 guys in a cold, mostly empty but highly charged office. Digging out old iphone pics of that time is weird but good to recollect.

"Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative..."

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”

Tumblr Engineering: Staircar: Redis-powered notifications

Tumblr Engineering: Staircar: Redis-powered notifications:

engineering:

Soon after I started at Tumblr all the way back in May, I was tasked with reworking our aging notifications system. A notification is the item that shows up in your dashboard, interleaved with posts, that tells you that another Tumblr blog reblogged or liked one of your posts or started following…

Totally fun project to work on. And, if building scalable/fast services is your thing, we’re hiring.

Tumblr Polls?

I’m taking a poll. How many of you would use a polls feature on Tumblr? To vote yes for polls, click the like button on this post from your Tumblr Dashboard (the little heart icon up above) or reblog. ~~I’m thinking polls should replace the rarely used “Chat” post type~~. What say you?

DashBuddy: A call to the Tumblr team

DashBuddy: A call to the Tumblr team:

This is an open comment to Tumblr dev/community staff - and I’m posting this on my Tumblr blog too.

I understand that you guys are hugely busy, and that in the grand scheme of things API support for community programmers is hardly a priority. We’re all devs here, I don’t think anyone expects constant interaction.

You’re absolutely right — we’ve been letting down our developer community. This is an extremely high-priority for Derek and me, and something that our Engineering team (especially JB) has been pulling extra hours to help with.

We don’t, today, have engineers dedicated to supporting our developer community — something we’re working to change as quickly as possible. You guys have been doing unbelievable work for Tumblr users, and we want to do everything possible to support your efforts.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful note. I’m sorry to let you down.

P.S. If empowering incredible developers is your kind of thing, we’d love to chat.

Things like this are why I feel privileged to work here…
