2. Build Something Simple Quickly 👷♂️ You don’t have to pay crazy money to test your idea. Tools like Adobe XD and Figma can be used to create a working prototype. They are FREE and easy to learn. I spent < 5 hours watching YouTube tutorials on this.

I'll believe in Threads more when 90% of the conversations over there are no longer about switching from Twitter to Threads... And those same people aren't coming back to Twitter every other hour to tell everyone how they might be sold on Threads.

Ulsterbank unwilling to work with businesses changing to a new bank while they close accounts in NI. Instead shutting accounts without notice & no access to the funds inside. You are leaving companies with no way to trade & pay their suppliers. @UlsterBankNI @NIPSO_Comms

This is one of the craziest polls I’ve ever seen 👀 More than 1.8 million people answered and ALMOST HALF would kill a random person for $10k ?!?!!?
If someone offered you $10,000 but if you take it a random person on earth dies, would you take the $10,000?

I feel like if you don’t doubt the decisions you make by at least 30% they aren’t risky enough, and reward follows risk.

Google testing out lazy loading search results on mobile? Super interesting. What will SEOs do if we can’t say “we’re on the 1st page of google”

It’s an easy choice. Listen to two of the best product people I know chatting over beers.
Well, this should be nice. Come listen to me blabber on about internet things. Or don’t. The choice is yours.

Perverse is almost exactly what it is…
4/ Only hire people that really value working at a high growth startup Growth is painful and unnatural Everything is always breaking But to a certain type of person, growth is also wildly stimulating and fun in a somewhat perverse way These people were our best performers
