Once again, @rob has worked his magic, acquiring a premium domain for my wife for much less than the asking price. If you want to attain the perfect name, don't strain your brain. You've got a lot to gain by going to @rob to snag your domain!

Last year, I called for product designers interested in joining Meta and received ~100 messages. I reviewed every portfolio shared with me and connected 20 designers with our recruiters. All of them received interviews and 25% (and counting!) have received offers thus far.

"The more you know, the less you diversify.". This Naval quote is a valuable guiding principle for product development. Most product teams fail to recognize how much can be known upfront and over-diversify to compensate for their lack of foresight, which caps their upside.

Just realized I've been paying Dropbox $200 per year, which seems insanely high. What cloud storage providers are other people using?.

This is so refreshing. I really look forward to seeing the details of Block's new performance review process. (Also, this might be the first time I've ever seen a company include designers alongside engineers when talking about builders. Strange to me that this isn't the norm.).

I took a while to respond to this because Eric’s answers were very good, and logical so it’s hard to refute. I also do respect Eric Ries a lot, he has lot of experience with different companies and his book Lean Startup was really influential to me when it first came out. But…

Twitter is clearly much worse than it was before Elon took over and all signs are that the decline is going to continue. There are two things keeping people here:.1) Top creators don't want to give up the huge audiences they've built. 2) Community network effects are strong.
