The Forties

Benedikt turns a year older. Benedicte moves forward despite the curveballs.

Benedikt took a week off work to celebrate his 40th birthday. He spent his birthday week with a few parties with family and friends, and seeing two concerts. On the work front, he and the team built a Snowflake integration. And with the ETL infrastructure now in place, this potentially opens doors for other integrations.

Despite another major extended family upheaval, Benedicte carries on by going on morning walks and focusing on her projects. She recently shipped the new Framer plugin version, made demos, and is planning to get the documentation for the plugin.

Benedikt and Benedicte talk about books, how fast the internet is breaking nowadays, and more.

Mentioned on the show:

• Surrounded by Idiots – a book by Thomas Erikson
• Antifragile – a book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
• Nonviolent Communication – a book by B. Marshall Rosenberg
