curious what you mean. UX seems quite unique and cool to me. I'm not a power user though

I’m a Googler minion and I approve this message. Dude paid his dues. Inasmuch as we all want to be treated equally, there’s reward for hard work.

absolutely same here. I also enjoy his interviews and perspective but i really couldn't go beyond the first chapter. I guess I'm not that patient :)

how did you make it through all the lobster metaphors. Does it get better as you progress ?

Very true. As I grow older I realize that one should take the authors age in consideration when reading articles like this should be read.

I've noticed that more people complain intensely about stuff that's not going away - Jira, Spreadsheets, Twitter...

Yea spreadsheets were useful before and even more useful now. Agreed, they could be misused but what can't be misused ?

One of the many things that surprised me in the US was seemingly complicated means of transferring cash between bank accounts. This process has been trivial in Nigeria (and some other countries) for a long time now with the NIBSS settlement system. I look forward to hearing about the progress of this project and the possible impact to existing payment services such as Venmo, Cashapp, Paypal...

I think the headline differs (perhaps for traffic). The post seems to discuss concerns about the discovery/trending feature - how developers "discover" new code.

Really good stuff. Thanks for sharing. I guess I’ve made it when my son is able to go study poetry :)

One tip that I see folks use. Encourage or enforce business email addresses for your trial accounts. This helps you target your cold emails (especially after trial expires).

Humans are social. Golf (or whatever it is that floats the VPs boat" can only get you a foot in the door.

Skeptical about LinkedIn these days as it might be overused. Even I tend to receive lot of pitches these days and generally distrust the medium.

He oversimplified the issue. Phone companies don't make money through ads. FB/Twitter/Google make money by "getting into the weeds". They chose a business model with much more reward (hence much more risk). They're basically running ads businesses. You post about shoes, they sell you shoes. You talk about unemployment, they sell you a candidate ? Gitlab/Microsoft et al have slightly less dependent business models that aren't dependent on ads (for the most part).
