I don't think you'll be able to find a conversation like this one on the internet. I interviewed @EthanEvansVP (former Amazon VP) about every possible corporate politics situation I could think of and he told me everything since he's retired. Topics we covered: • Managing people out + promos via reorgs • Orgs trying to steal scope • How to fire managers • What leverage engineers have when getting managed out • Handling politically skilled operators • Examples of political messaging • Handling bad managers and mutiny • Empire building + effective backchanneling • Influence without authority • How to avoid politics if you hate them It was fascinating in a morbid curiosity kind of way. I heard so many things in this conversation which I wish weren't true but are. Hopefully this conversation is helpful for people navigating corporate politics.

🚨 In 1992, a MIT lecture quietly revealed more about product and sales than most 2-year MBAs ever will. Most people have never seen it. It came from Steve Jobs and instead of teaching theory, he broke down how great products actually win. Watching it today feels unreal. He explained that people don’t buy products they buy meaning. The best products aren’t just functional, they connect with how people see themselves. That’s why some ideas spread effortlessly while others die, even if they’re technically better. He also made it clear that marketing isn’t about features. It’s about clarity. If you can’t explain why your product matters in simple terms, it won’t matter at all. Complexity doesn’t impress it confuses. And his biggest edge? Obsession with experience. Not just what the product does, but how it feels. The small details, the simplicity, the story that’s what separates good from unforgettable. That’s why this MIT lecture still hits hard. Because while most people are building products… Very few understand why people actually buy them.

He literally shared the scientific method to stop repeating negative thoughts.

4. The Brag Document Situation: Performance review season arrives and you stare at a blank screen because you cannot remember a single impactful thing you shipped 6 months ago. System: Block exactly 10 minutes every Friday afternoon to log your merged PRs, solved bottlenecks, metrics improved, and positive feedback from stakeholders. Why it works: It turns your career progression into undeniable, measurable data. You stop relying on your manager's memory to justify your promotion or raise.

Ray Dalio just made the most important thing you’ll read this year completely free and available to everyone. One thing. Just read it. Almost nobody will. And in six months they’ll wish they had.

@anamorphisis @grok is this true

Finding out Gisèle Pelicot and her daughter don’t speak because she refuses to believe her daughter was also a victim of rape and drugging by her own father is so insane and further solidifies how victimization does not equal solidarity, even amongst family. It’s so awful

Insecure people should not be managers. Their jealousy pushes them to sabotage strong talent instead of leading it, and everyone loses in the process 👌🏼

25 years ago, Dutch researchers tested how fast fire can spread through a flammable ceiling in a café or bar setting.

One of the biggest highlights for me this year: My dad frantically messaging me on his flight to London to let me know I was in the in-flight movie! ✈️ It's incredible to see 'The Thinking Game' pass 200M views in just 4 weeks.

would recommend anyone who has some downtime over this week to download and play factorio. Playing it has completely rewired by brain and changed how I see the world. It teaches you how to think and solve problems when your brain is at max capacity. the game is actually mandatory for employees at some tech companies. There should be school curriculum around factorio.
