Not Boring issue #183 is a weekly optimism roundup from writer Packy McCormick, published after his attendance at a16z's American Dynamism event in Washington, D.C. The issue's introduction contains no data, no findings, and no reportable claims. What it does contain is a live title A/B test: McCormick is measuring open rates on a renamed subject line after a reader told him the usual 'Weekly Dose of Optimism' title communicates nothing.
That detail is the only technically interesting item in the available text. The rest is a sponsor placement for Guru, a knowledge management platform, and a standard newsletter preamble. No stories, no numbers, no developments from the a16z event are included in the extracted content.
The full issue may contain the substantive optimism-themed news items promised in the intro. This summary cannot be completed accurately from the provided source. Read the original to find out what McCormick actually considered worth covering this week.
