Just saw a demo of @tryvortex and looks really interesting. Implements the basic mechanisms you need to make a product more viral. Planning on testing it out this month. Anyone else given it a try yet?

I’m thinking of starting a “vintage” clothing shop that only sells corporate merch from failed startups and businesses. Need a name. Free tee shirt emoji to the best.

@adityaag Interesting perspective. At @worklytics we’ve analyzed calendar data across 10s of thousands of tech workers and 1:1 occurrence and frequency is one of the strongest predictors of engagement, whether people like their manager(as measured by survey) and retention.

9/ I know I'm arguing against orthodoxy here. But I believe the relentless cadence of weekly 1:1s, while well-intentioned, has become counterproductive. It's time to break free of this flawed Silicon Valley management "best practice." Your team will thank you.

8/ If an employee is really struggling, then of course have more frequent check-ins. But for most folks, quarterly big picture conversations and real-time availability are sufficient.

Meet Marques "MKBHD" Brownlee. 30 years old, has 18.3M subscribers, 4.2B views and makes $3M+/year. But you haven’t met him at 10 years old giddy over his 79th subscriber. This video is his 100th video. A must watch for anyone that puts creative work out on the internet. It reminded me that “perfection kills progress”. At age 10, MKBHD wasn’t the best tech reviewer on the internet. But that didn’t stop him. In the first 6 months of putting out videos, Marques had already posted 200+ videos. The guy was just unapologetically hitting publish on videos. And did you watch the intro to this video? I mean, that intro got me fired up, but it wasn't exactly a Scorsese film. Many of us get lost in the “comparison trap”. You don’t start something because you don’t think you’re good enough. The reality is you aren’t good enough until you start something. Marques didn’t wait. He published his work. From the video: “I hope I get more subscribers if I upload great videos everyday” It turns out he did. 18M+ of them. MKBHD shipped 100 videos to get 74 subs. MrBeast shipped 100 videos to get 760 subs. PewDiePie shipped 100 videos to get 2500 subs. You get the idea. Hit publish first, get good later.

I don't like it when people mob some kid in their teens or early twenties for seeming entitled in a video. It's too easy. And it doesn't teach us anything; we already know there are a lot of people like that. In fact most of us probably said some stupid things at that age.

@briancmuse My initial intuition is the same but I wonder whether there is some bias that gets introduced because those quick responders always appear really helpful and on top of everything. But are they really as effective in their own work if they are monitoring slack for notifications😅

An uncomfortable truth: Employees that respond quickly (within minutes) in slack are much more effective than employees who turn off or ignore notifications throughout the day

El domingo perdí al amor de mi vida con quien he compartido 14 preciosos años. Desgraciadamente, la vida es injusta y a veces se lleva a las personas más buenas de este mundo en su mejor momento. Gracias por todo, Andrea. Siempre te querré y nunca te olvidaré. Descansa en paz 🖤
