First of Kind: The @jgebbia interview Why did Joe Gebbia go to Washington? I met with America’s first-ever Chief Design Officer last fall to find out. We met on the White House grounds to discuss his newly created role, the formation of @ndstudio, and how Joe plans to weave design into the fabric of U.S. federal government. 00:00 - Eisenhower Exec Office Bldg 01:34 - From Airbnb to Washington 04:39 - The Federal Retirement Problem 06:31 - The Mine in the Mountain 08:29 - Do Things That Don’t Scale 11:35 - The Julie Prototype 14:20 - Down to 60 Seconds 16:33 - Consumer-Grade Government 18:31 - Nixon’s Federal Beautification 20:22 - The National Design Studio 24:24 - Trust Through Design 27:43 - Building the Dream Team 31:22 - The Silicon Valley Coalition 35:33 - A Golden Age of Design Special thanks to Joe Gebbia and his team for making this conversation possible.

A few months ago I was considering buying a SaaS app for $300/mo - part of marketing stack. I built it in 3h myself as part of an existing internal tool. It has been running flawlessly ever since.

Interrupting my holiday break to say: iOS 26 is bad. Worse. It's not just liquid glass. Everything is now one or more extra taps away. Actions buried. Keyboard downgraded. Siri is essentially dead. Apple undid years of good work.
