Trainees must be open-minded; the process requires them to suspend their egos while they discover what they are doing well and what they are doing poorly and decide what to do about it. The trainer must be open-minded as well, and it's best if at least two believable trainers work with each trainee in order to triangulate their views about what the trainee is like. This training is an apprentice relationship; it occurs as the trainer and trainee share experiences, much like when a ski instructor skis alongside his student. The process promotes growth, development, and transparency around where people stand, why they stand where they stand, and what they can do about improving it. It hastens not just their own personal evolution but the evolution of the organization. #principleoftheday

Several years ago, I lost 3 pitch competitions in a row. Why? The judges asked how I'll make money and I had no tangible answer. Then I stopped trying to win pitches and started trying to win customers.

@andrebaach @nickaturley This is beautiful. Well done.

‘Operation Wetie started from Ibadan' — Seyi Makinde warns against one-party domination Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo, has invoked the violent political history of “Operation Wetie” to caution against moves towards one-party domination in Nigeria. “Operation Wetie” was a campaign of intense political violence that rocked Nigeria’s western region, with its epicentre in Ibadan, in the mid-1960s.

Claude Design is just WOW, but holy shit, I blew through my entire weekly usage limits with one page re-design. I noticed this happened to @clairevo as well. This is not viable for real-world startups unless you have multiple Max Plans, which is terrible UX.
