Are you a PM at Retool?

I find myself strangely drawn to dystopian aesthetic. There’s something deeply moving about them.

This is great. I think visual tools like this are under utilized. They’re fun to use and can often reveal interesting insights.

Feels like the first company to study is Amazon. They are super customer focused and they have actual content out there you can find where they talk about it in detail and what it means.

In the early days of Amazon they kept an empty seat in meetings to represent “the voice of the customer”, that’s how hardcore they were about it.

Hi there, a friend and I are very excited to release a new education course we've created for instrumenting product analytics. We’ve both been building digital products for some time, and have been involved in the setup and management of product analytics. We’ve learned a lot about what not to do (the hard way), and about what sorts of strategies help make product analytics setup easier and more effective.

We created this course to help people understand how to do it right, so they can start to have more confidence in their data and leverage it more often when making product and business decisions.

We’d love to answer any questions and hear any feedback, including what you’ve found to be the hardest part of instrumenting product analytics on your team.

Thanks so much!

This looks super interesting. I built out a spreadsheet of (very rough) projected financials for a business I was considering trying that was going to do something very similar; essentially gear rental for camping. I wasn't able to find a way to have it make sense as a solid business (margins were so tiny), but I still love this concept and would totally be a customer of a business that offered this. I'm moving to the Bay this month, maybe I'll give this a try! :D

Hi there, I work for Keen IO. The AutoCollector SDK was fixed early this morning. Version 1.0.8 no longer sends password fields in plaintext. If you upgrade your version to 1.0.8 you'll be good to go. We're working to inform all users of our AutoCollector SDK that they should upgrade immediately. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

Vancouver, BC. Supernatural beauty. Immediate access to incredible outdoors. Great food and cafe scene. Fantastic arts and music scene. Clean. One of the greenest (carbon footprint) cities in the world. Fantastic transit system. Fast growing technology sector. + all the benefits that come with being a Canadian city.

+1. I would be curious to see how it performs vs. a standard form as well.

10. Technology is incredibly interesting. But I base my number off the fact that I'm always pretty involved in product/growth/strategy at companies where I do software engineering and I'm 90% of the time working on an interesting side project. I swap back and forth between working for a company (always a 10-50 person startup) and working on my own company. I think to truly get the most out of engineering positions, you want to be really involved in the crafting of the overall solution to the problem, rather than being told precisely what it is and then immediately starting on the engineering work that needs to meet a handed over "spec".
