Brian Chesky on going ‘Founder Mode’ during the pandemic Chesky describes the recent shift in his management style: “I totally changed how I ran the company. I used to be very hands off. I democratized data. I was very much reactive and I thought my job was strategy and capital allocation. But here’s the weird thing: the less hands on I was, the more I got sucked into problems. By the time I got sucked into a problem, it was 10x the amount of work. Then I decided to do something different. We’re going to be totally integrated. One roadmap. I am going to be involved in every single detail. Airbnb is not going to do anything more than I can personally focus on. This is what Steve did at Apple.” - @bchesky with @Jason on @twistartups

A short story.

Dipping into this today, looking to see what we can add to our Measurement Strategy methods. #measure #productanalytics

@johncutlefish That It should actually be a quad with a data person included 😎

BP has just announced record profits: £5,000,000,000 in the last 3 months. But Boris Johnson today again rejected using a windfall tax on these companies to cut soaring energy bills. He's choosing to squeeze your living standards, not their profits. That's whose side he's on.

A bit of user research can save you a lot of headache! (And money.)

Universal Analytics will be sunset on July 1st, 2023. That’s…soon. blog.google/products/marke…

Many teams believe it's "faster" to: 1. Have a good idea. 2. "Quickly" build for months. 3. Ship "MVP". 4. Fail & learn. 5. Make the arch you built a future constraint. 6. "Iterate". vs. starting with few weeks of research to iron out the problem because it's "too slow".

That is honestly the worst refereeing performance I think I've seen in my entire life. Incompetent at every turn. Embarrassing.

Jurgen Klopp: “Why do we let people like Boris Johnson lead any kind of group of people in any direction?” 𝙈𝙔 𝙈𝘼𝙉𝘼𝙂𝙀𝙍

Boris Johnson: If you're suspicious about the way you're being treated by a police officer, shout and run away. Black people everywhere: 🤨🤨🤨🤨 #Marr

Salah. Best in the world. #LFC

@ThatTimWalker I hope she got a standing ovation.

Let’s try and get #DawnSpeaksForMe trending.

Came across a beautiful diagram explaining the difference between UX and Service Design by @clearleft

The lowest point in my UX Research career was when I was pegged as a product fortune-teller. 🔮 Now, having worked in tech for a decade, here’s the biggest problem I see in product teams: We over-intellectualize 🧠 and under-humanize. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A thread 🧵🪡:

The problem with traditional personas. Great thread:

The more Product Management evolves, the more it looks like User Experience practice circa 2007.
