My latest creation is up. Excited to see where the first ever Link In Bio ad network ends up. . #buildinpublic. (Hopefully Twitter fixes it's cached Opengraph image).

The key to twitter is to avoid reading it. Write and run. After being away for a few months, it becomes real obvious how low quality the content is.

Really enjoying @WisprFlow. Easily worth the $12 to speed up ChatGPT queries alone, not to mention Cursor + emails. I guess I can scratch the "app to be able to talk to Cursor" idea off my list of things to build.

Time for some Twitter spring cleaning. Goodbye politics, sports, comedy, and music. My only follows are people who are building. #buildinpublic (Except for @treyanastasio. He stays).

Unless your customers are engineers, they don’t care about the tech stack. They care about the product. Build it quickly with what you already know.

I regularly get asked by founders what tech stack I recommend. My answer? “The one you used for your last project.”. When you start a new business, it’s the worst time to choose new and unfamiliar technology. Instead, go with what you know. Here is why: 🧵.

11/12 That's why I built Go Faster - to enable good managers to do even better. It's a tool for improvement, not judgment. By embracing data-driven insights, teams become more efficient, productive, and literally go faster. 💼🚀.

10/12 Yes, the tool can't fix bad management. But it can enhance team output, motivation, and job satisfaction in the hands of good managers. It provides data, aids communication, and helps in making informed decisions.

9/12 I had a senior employee with inconsistent output. The tool allowed me to notice his pattern and address it. A chart showing a cold streak initiated a constructive conversation, leading to better understanding and improved productivity.

8/12 When problems are fixed and teams hit goals, team morale improves. It’s a win win. I've experienced the benefits of a similar tool firsthand in a previous role.

7/12. Go Faster is meant to supplement a manager's holistic understanding of their team, not to be the sole basis for judging performance. It shortens feedback loops, helping managers improve their teams more efficiently.

6/12 Go Faster offers a live stream of activity. Why is Alice focusing on a task due 3 weeks later and not the urgent one? Why is Bob inactive for 3 days? Why has Charlie outperformed everyone? Is he being recognized? . All these can be answered with a quick glance at Go Faster.

5/12 Good managers continually seek improvement. Is everyone focused on the right task? Is anyone stuck or lacking motivation? Could another team in the org help speed things up? . Stand up meetings, status updates, and 1:1s can be time consuming for this. Enter Go Faster.

4/12 From this, they create an environment where everyone knows the goal, the timeline, and the measurement. Work is then divided and driven towards that goal.

3/12 To do this, it’s important to understand a manager’s role and how they can use data to drive decisions. A manager's role includes holistically understanding their team's strengths, weaknesses, and motivation.

2/12 Early feedback on Go Faster has been rather spicy - "horrible idea", "micromanaging", "lazy", "yikes". I hear people’s fear. Go Faster isn't a tool for misjudging performance. It's designed to improve working conditions for both managers and individual contributors.
