My book “The Making of a Manager” is out today 🎉 It’s everything I wish I’d known when I became a manager at the age of 25. Know someone who might benefit from it or looking for a refresher for yourself? Please help me spread the word!

“Holy shit does this hot sauce include a real $100?!” <— my reaction upon receiving @runwayco’s latest gift. (The answer: yes.) @blader you warned me this would be good and you were absolutely right! 🎩

First thing I do when I start an engagement with any company is audit their analytics and tracking. You can model the most important funnels and behaviors in almost any product in < 20 key events.

Most companies are *vastly* overcomplicating their analytics. Everything is tracked clicks, scrolls, impressions, events. Which is fine. Logging is cheap. We also need them when we need to understand rare phenomena. But attention isn’t cheap. Most of what we track never helps

All good things contain the seeds of their destruction. Don’t believe me? Give me a strength and I’ll show you how it’s also a weakness.

Death by a thousand dashboards Dashboards were supposed to be our saviors, promising the professionalism of a plane cockpit with clean gauges, clear dials, and a single view of what’s going on. One glance, and you’d know if your product or business was flying smoothly. That was

How can AI startups raise capital at sky-high valuations while losing money? Because investors are betting on future dominance, not current P&L. Thread:

Diagnose with data. Treat with design. One is the yin and the other the yang. They follow each other in an infinite cycle. Data is the process of deeply understanding reality as it *is*. Design is the process of designing future reality as it *could be*.

Gamma crossed $50M ARR with 28 employees and more cash in the bank than we had raised ($23M) In hindsight: We got here because we ignored common VC advice. Examples of glaringly bad advice that you should ignore to save you $10M+ and years of time, like we did for Gamma:

Three years after being @LennyKravitz's first podcast guest, it was so much fun to return and chat about how leadership is evolving with AI. Love Lenny's unique trifecta of genuine curiosity, high bar, and spotlighting the best contributions of each human -- not at all surprised

Most product feedback sucks. It's an immediate gut reaction: "Ooh, I love this!" or "Meh." Want to get better at actually giving useful, actionable product feedback? Run yourself through these 7 questions. 1) What is the user journey to get here? You can’t furnish a room if
