Our team at Aha! loves using tables to capture and share information. That is why you can find this formatting option in many places throughout our software. So we recently added the ability to insert tables into whiteboards too. Check it out:

You can now insert a table into your whiteboard in Aha! software — so you can capture and organize information just the way you want.

The genuinely awful thing about not having a government you trust is not knowing if the crises you experience are genuine, or orchestrated to create opportunities for more looting.

Intrigued by what the folks at @sectalabs are busy with! Loving the extended applications of AI. Looking forward to seeing what their headshots generate!

Apparently Stripe tried (and failed) to raise more capital at $55 - $60 billion (Down from $95 billion vs March 2021) They now seek an “exit” within 12 months. If a company doing ~$7.5B in annual revenue cannot survive without continuous investment, the system is broken.

This is how govt's lie. Load shedding is not because demand is greater than what Eskom can supply.K%k man. Its because govt has crashed the supply of electricity through theft, sabotage, ineptitude and corruption.
Short version “We knew this was coming, we stole and lied and extended the looting, kicking the shit out of the economy for 15 years, so here’s a short essay on it. Go fuck yourselves”

Favourite @aha_io features from the last few months. Super fan of Program Increments in Aha! Develop - if you're a #safe shop you should check it out.
Over the last few months, we added new features we think you will love — in-app feedback polls, new views for product dashboards, better support for SAFe, and more. Take a look: https://t.co/L6IfqBuaA1

The optics-obsessed, high confidence, low competence, charismatic executive is the most dangerous entity in any company.

One huge mistake that many managers make is to tell a senior member of their team: “<XYZ> is entirely your decision. I am here to serve you. I will defer to whatever your decision is here.” This happens at all levels e.g. a Founder/CEO delegating “product strategy” to the CPO.

I'm a Head of Finance at Google. I've interviewed 100s of candidates in my career and I know my decision within the first 7 minutes. Do these 5 things to prepare for the interview and I guarantee you'll impress recruiters and hiring managers at your dream company:

Some companies give onerous take-home assignments (>10 hours) for PM interviews, thinking that is fine because candidates “excited about the job” will spend that time, but this filters out people who are serious about their *current* job and these are the people you need to hire.

This government has “led” the country like it would never run out of taxpayer money or public patience. Now it’s run out of both. And it seems dangerously incapable of realising that.

Friends, this is unprecedented to have Stage 6 on a Sunday. No excuses can be tolerated for this mess. It will get worse tomorrow. I expect heads to role, starting from the top with those persons who demanded maintenance budget cuts to pay back debt early.

I'm not sure South Africans 🇿🇦 realise some of the many challenges ahead; even in the short term there's likely: fuel price hikes, increasing power blackouts, interest rate hikes, rising food costs, inflation, the above leading to greater inequality, protests, mental illness..
