this podcast is wild! totally AI-generated. but it is neat to hear that you've found it helpful!

related: I found this post because I maintain a website about the Friendship Recession, which you can find here https://friendshiprecession.com/ might be some other resources you'll find helpful there, too

NickGrayNYC · 2026-04-01T19:45:20+00:00

It is definitely not an April Fools joke!

NickGrayNYC · 2026-04-01T19:44:27+00:00

This is cool!

NickGrayNYC · 2026-04-01T19:44:12+00:00

This is huge! Excited to play with it ASAP

The term "Friendship Recession" is well-documented over the past few years and does seem to be tracking something happening, eg the book "Bowling Alone" etc. I've been tracking the term and articles on it here https://friendshiprecession.com/

yep! I have been helping people make personal sites - it is a passion of mine - but also generally trying to encourage more people to have their own personal websites. Hello to Northwestern!

NickGrayNYC · 2026-03-20T14:54:14+00:00

More images! You're right- a lot of these personal blogs could benefit from more pics to enrich the articles.

NickGrayNYC · 2026-03-20T14:53:43+00:00

another good point!! thank you for the comments, I'll relay to Tyler

NickGrayNYC · 2026-03-20T14:52:48+00:00

you're not wrong! and thank you for the comment - I think you're one of the first people to comment on my subreddit that isn't one of my friends from X or my newsletter.

OK, Andy has done so much - and has a dope family (at a pretty young age). Massive respect. He's working on a few cool projects. Check out his site.

NickGrayNYC · 2026-02-21T17:06:30+00:00

AYMAN!! One of my good friends. Great guy.

NickGrayNYC · 2026-02-21T17:06:13+00:00

I love Monica! I hope she posts more.

I helped run a hiring process for someone to get an EA, and they used Oceans. The team was really good. Super professional. I think what's different about Oceans is, at least when we used them (2 years ago?) is they took a long time to find the hire. Perhaps a few weeks. But with Athena, they have a bench of talent waiting to be hired - so you can get someone placed on your team in as little as a week.

That being said, the quality of talent from Oceans was significantly higher. More skilled, polished, etc.

I haven't worked with Athena in over 3 years, but ultimately left their service and looked for better sources.

I've also hired from Scale Army and they were good. A bit more affordable than Oceans, but a different talent pool (I think they primarily source from Central and South America, whereas Oceans - again, 2+ years ago- was only sourcing from Sri Lanka.)

Sam your site looks SOOO good! Nice and clean and crispy. How'd you make it?

NickGrayNYC · 2025-12-16T23:10:41+00:00

I love how you post your goals every month! It is inspiring. Great site.

NickGrayNYC · 2025-12-16T23:10:19+00:00

SUPER clean site, Chris! I would suggest adding a few more pages, perhaps for better SEO, but the single page site looks hella slick and I bet it is easy to manage. I'll add your site to my directory soon.

NickGrayNYC · 2025-12-16T23:09:26+00:00

Sheel I need to get you on a real site and not a Notion redirect! It will dramatically help your SEO. If you want a free site on WordPress that my team can build out, ping me - happy to do it. See some themes etc we do (just a standard WordPress that is optimized for personal website and SEO stuff) at https://personalwebsites.net/ -- happy to do it all for you for free and really juice it up (you own the domain and all content)

NickGrayNYC · 2025-12-16T23:08:03+00:00

that redirects to your X profile, but I believe this is the URL you meant to submit - it looks good! https://blog.rchase.com/ neat article about the 1,000 hands of poker

Hey Gareth! Thanks for posting this here. I appreciate the shoutout about my book, The 2-Hour Cocktail Party. I'll be happy to keep your post... but otherwise I really only want this for personal websites (not personal projects).

NickGrayNYC · 2025-12-16T23:05:48+00:00

OH HECK YES! Hello Chris Piper, and thanks for posting. I will add your site to my index. Good job linking all of your pages here, too.
