You cannot be agile if your client insists that you work in a waterfall. If they demand estimates (which they see as commitments) and then set a time/money budget based on those estimates, that's waterfall. That works against them, of course. If the time/budget is fixed, then scope must change. If they won't permit that, you are being set up for failure and are wasting you client's money to boot. Are you willing to eat the cost overruns or the costs of the changes that will be required as the project develops (or deal with a very unhappy client if you're unwilling to do that)? IMO, we all have an ethical obligation to to explain that up front, before accepting a job.

“I want to build things for people” 💯

Who is the genius at Zoom who thought it would be a good idea to force an update right as you join a meeting?

@ramit I bought a house to invest in my family. They get stability, comfort, and are able to build long term local friendships. I’m under no illusions it’s not a financial investment, but this idea that homes are profit centres is what has destroyed our housing market.

You buy a house, thinking it's a good investment Value increases $500K Now what? When does it actually turn into $ for you? Do you sell & move to another house? Other houses are expensive now Sell & move cities? Maybe, but your friends & family are here Now what?

Impressive @Dropbox

If you're using story points 😱, please bear in mind that you cannot do math with them. Think of points as arbitrary symbols. E.g., averaging them is like saying (🐰+🦖+🐱)/3 .

Probably the best thing you'll see today. In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world. The results 🧵 1/22

@HarryStebbings Bootstrapped, but shoutout to @jasonlk for this. Never met, but he is a constant source of knowledge with what he puts out. Game changing moment was attending @SaaStrAnnual in 2019 which gave so much good content to apply to the business. I still use the flask, too!

I do not want any VCs to respond to this. Founders only, which investor provided the single best founder experience for you that either invested or did not invest, as an angel or VC, in Europe? Who was it? What made the experience good?

Words of wisdom.

@leinwand 3/ A better CMS would be nice. At the moment it’s a stand in with bigger content sites managing it in Wordpress etc.

@leinwand 2/ it would be great to have dynamic contact form email subjects - e.g. with content provided by the user like a subject or topic etc.

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as CTO at Webflow! lnkd.in/gueJejZR
