Feeling home country pride on this one. ASML, a company based in Veldhoven, Netherlands, has a 100% monopoly on EUV lithography, arguably the most important machine used in semiconductor manufacturing. How they built this moat is mind blowing.
New Episode! ASML!. The $274B "relatively obscure Dutch company" responsible for the world's most innovative chips. How does the company that builds the machine that fits 15 billion transistors onto something the size of my fingernail innovate and operate?. Today, on the pod!

Joe Coulombe wrote *the* book I want to read about every business: A precise and delightfully written how-to-guide on how he started and ran Trader Joes. It almost made me want to start my own grocery store.

Best @redqueenpod anecdote: Stranger hears my friend listening to the Marriot ep. Stranger mentions his wife has worked at Marriott >30 years! All the culture tidbits (treat employees like family) are true! When wife hits certain tenure milestone they’ll get free lifetime rooms!.

Ernest Hemingway said: "When I dream of afterlife in heaven, the action always takes place in the Paris Ritz.". Favorite research rabbit hole for this episode was Marriott's acquisition of the Ritz Carlton. involving a sheik, a tragic car chase, and chocolate chips.
🛎️On the latest episode of Red Queen Podcast🛎️. How Marriott evolved from a local rootbeer stand to into the world's biggest hotel company. and turned a spirit to serve and a culture of quality into a repeatable playbook and $65B international business. Listen now!

. And to tie it all together a team under Pete actually built a satellite out of LEGO to prove cheaper space travel could be done. 🚀.

Too many good NASA facts to choose from but easily my favorite character from this journey is Pete Worden, who ran the Ames Center at NASA and pioneered cheap space travel years before Elon Musk.

My two favorite LEGO facts (1) LEGO has better net margins than LVMH. They have *luxury brand* net margins! (2) One of their manufacturing quality control processes involves _biting_ the bricks. does LEGO have an army of toddlers sampling bricks?!.

This 👇started off as a thinly veiled excuse to hang out with my two girl crushes @zebriez and @tarstarr, and has since turned into piles of books strewn across the apartment, dozens of hours of weekend recordings, and many struggles learning audio. It’s been an absolute joy.
A bright spot in 2024 has been hanging out with @eekedm and @tarstarr to see what we can learn from longstanding institutions. Biggest takeaway so far: re-invent or die. We turned our lil’ book club into a podcast and the first two episodes - 👩🚀NASA and 🧱LEGO- are out now!. I

Most of the world's workers (80%) don't sit at a desk. Now companies can build native apps for their mobile workforce in minutes—no mobile expertise required. Pretty darn cool. (Also, *really* fun to build with).
Retool Mobile is now in public beta, and free for teams up to 5: 🚜 Build mobile apps for teams that don’t work at desks. 📱 Use 20+ mobile-optimized UI components like barcode scanning, signature pad, and geolocation. 🚀 Deploy directly to the app stores

The time I got to spend with @chughesjohnson while writing for this book during the very early stages was the single most effective crash course in manager training and company building. Can't wait for folks to soak it all in. Huge congrats @chughesjohnson!.
Still can't quite believe this is happening. And it's thanks to the many people I have worked with and learned from, more than any of you know. And the folks I interviewed and excerpted who generously shared wisdom. This book was not a 1 person project - thank you is not enough.

simple != easy. *So* much thought went into designing the right experience to help users shortcut navigation and actions in Retool. Love what @sunjessica17,. @andrewaashen, @zhanlarr, and Ford did here. I use this feature ceaselessly.
Introducing the Command Palette: a faster way to search and navigate to everything you need in Retool. Instead of clicking around the screen, you can run commands from your keyboard to build faster than ever before. Get started by hitting ⌘/Ctrl + K ⌨️

Build *beautiful* internal tools, remarkably fast.
Big step forward for being able to create console-style apps in @Retool. I don't think it will be long before you'll be able to re-create your favorite API consoles or multi-page apps, on the level of (say) a Wagtail or Wordpress admin.

The breadth of business processes we've seen developers automate with @retool Workflows is 🤯. Order delivery notifications, data aggregation, monitoring for dead tuples…And of course, my personal workflow that triggers every time someone on my team has a birthday/anniversary 🤗.
Introducing Retool Workflows: automate cron jobs, custom alerts, or ETL tasks without provisioning infra, authenticating resources, or combing through API docs. Now in beta! 🧵

Developer tools for developer tools are my favorite kind of tools.
🧰We just added a new set of debug tools to the core @retool editor to make it faster to diagnose errors and build complex apps. You can now:. - Analyze stack trace (Console).- Visualize runtime sequence (Timeline).- Inspect properties/dependancies (State)
