Think about this the next time you see any object in the world with a handwritten note posted to it. "The Design of Everyday Things" (@jnd1er) goes into this -- it's a sign of very bad design.

12 years ago I joined this mess of a platform. Since then it's facilitated the Arab Spring (good), contributed to the increase in political polarization (bad), and led to whatever @realDonaldTrump's account is (ugly). Here's to 12 more? #MyTwitterAnniversary

Don't get too stuck on the process of creating products. Remember that the goal of all processes is to create something your users -- your people -- find value in. Step 1: figure out what your people value. Step 2: work to build it. Measure, learn, and repeat. #productmanagement

I used the term "Kafkaesque" in conversation last week and I'm pretty sure it's going to make me cringe while trying to sleep for the next year or so.

The web isn’t just another software platform. It’s the greatest software platform the world has ever seen. No permissions, no masters, readable source code. Let’s protect the heritage, work in its service, and remind ourselves just what a marvel it all really is ❤️🙏

Does "selling out" even exist in 2018? Everything is about monetization – microtransactions, ad views, services and startups (like the one I work at). I grew up respecting punk bands who never "sold out" but I'm not sure the idea is even relevant anymore.
