Don’t be fooled by Best Practices. By the time something is labeled and advertised as a Best Practice, it is just average. Following these practices only suggests you won’t be left behind, not that you will lead the pack.
Best Practices are actually Average Practices.

A feature should either THRILL ≥15% of customers or be USEFUL to ≥60%.
Amazing how many are neither.
You don't have time for those.

90% of my job as a senior engineer is giving others the confidence to go with the less-impressive-but-simpler approach.

The best time to start something is when things are hard and inconvenient.
Otherwise, when things get hard and inconvenient in the future, you’ll assume that’s a reason you can stop.

Candor is essential for truth seeking as a team. So one of your most important duties as a leader is to emphasize your expectation of candid dialogue amongst your team members and to consistently live this value yourself by demonstrating how to be candid while still being kind.

Before launching a product, sit down and draft a murderboard: list out every possible criticism with the worst headline possible. Then, while preserving the core value proposition, reposition the product so it’s bulletproof against any criticism. Don’t delegate this: you own the product and you should know all possible ways it will be perceived.

My new favorite team ritual: A weekly meeting called "Fight Club" where you meet with your leadership team with the intention of having a conflict.
Clip from my conversation with @meganwcook (head of product for @Jira)
Lenny Rachitsky@lennysan
Megan Cook (@MeganWCook) is the head of product for @Jira, which is used by 75% of Fortune 500 companies and has over 125,000 customers worldwide. @Atlassian has over 15 different product lines, is valued at over $65B, and in her 11 years there, Megan has seen the company grow from 500 to over 10,000. In our conversation, we dig into: 🔸 The value of starting small 🔸 How, and why, creating space for play is so essential 🔸 Advice for getting buy-in for your ideas 🔸 How Jira stays ahead of endless competition 🔸 Atlassian’s approach to launching new product lines 🔸 A personal failure and the lessons learned from it 🔸 Much more

Queing theory can help but the simplest Poisson law exercises I did in school were enough to hint at what happens if you optimize for "no cashier slacks" (customers wait for ages) or "no customer waits" (you need as many cashiers as customers on the busiest hours).

Life is a joy at 80% fullness, but a nightmare at 100%. Highways stall to a gridlock. Flights get delayed. Workers burnout. People stress out. Efficiency is absolutely worth striving for, but taking it all the way can suck the oxygen out of life.

A common mistake of many first-time CTOs or VP of Engineerings:
Mandating that all engineering teams in their organization start working {the same way using methodology X}.
They usually feel this is a big win for them, and the company. In reality: it's almost always a disaster.

It's surprising how often startups will copy their competitor's features rather than talk to their users. The best startups understand they cannot outsource one of the most important parts of building a successful product.

@AUCHAN_France difficile, auchandirect sur Firefox :
- mot de passe de 16 caractères : "votre mot de passe fait moins de 10 caracères"
- je me demande si c'est mon email qui contient un + qui buggue
- "Il semblerait que vous êtes un robot :/"
C'est vraiment très désobligeant.

@alorsondev Je suis surtout frustré si on prétend utiliser une méthode qui résout ça et qu'on le fait pas.
Agile/Scrum, je vous regarde.
Et après bah on a gaspillé l'argent à faire un truc qui n'aide pas les utilisateurs finaux, et on se plaint qu'il faut refaire car les users aiment pas.
