When an organization brands itself as design driven, I often ask, "do you have a design officer in your c-suite?" (most don't). Establishing a CDO role for the United States and appointing @jgebbia is quite incredible— very bullish.
My directive is to update today’s government services to be as satisfying to use as the Apple Store: beautifully designed, great user experience, run on modern software. An experience that projects a level of excellence for our nation, and makes life less complicated for everyday.

if you know you know.
very few people have ever eaten the glass of going from nothing to something. idea → design → build → launch. that full arc. with or without ai, it’s brutal. it breaks your back & your brain. it’s one of the most honest pains there is.

Absolutely true.
People are finally starting to realise how few truly great designers there are, and how disproportionately valuable they are.

As ai writes more and more of our code, I still believe every kid should learn to program. Programming develops a way of thinking, problem solving, organization that's incredibly useful across most areas of life.

free advice: if you want to bring a billion people onchain, hire people who know little to nothing about crypto to design your product.

RT @BrianNorgard: It took me years to realize the people who like to build are not the people that like to operate.

if you're not rolling back 10% of the time you're not shipping fast enough. if you're not rolling back 50% of the time you're not using claude code.

so much of building great product is knowing where to blaze new trails and where to play the hits.
