Dec 19 @BrianRoemmele Hey Brian. Where’s that number coming from? 2 0 0 0 58 .
Dec 19 @callmevlad @Conaw @howietl Feels a bit wordy though? This’ll become a much bigger category in the next few years and we’ll need something catchier to lubricate mainstream awareness. You’ve got the authority to shape the language! Haha can we get it down to two or three syllables? 😁 2 0 0 0 283 .
Dec 19 *Love* this way of presenting a study on Twitter. - Many more people read twitter than read scientific journals. - Explained with simple language in digestible chunks, + illustrations. - Straight from source - no silly headlines from publications oversimplifying. 👏 https://t.co/mwVxputepe 2 0 0 0 291 .
Dec 19 Is there a single, simple category name that covers “software that’s used to build software”? Something like meta software? @Conaw @howietl @callmevlad? 5 0 0 0 152 .

Dec 18 Twitter’s got its problems, but then you see a thread like this and are in awe at how much insight it’s possible to have on things you thought were simple and boring. People on here are amazing. https://t.co/AfxmfrGEdS 3 0 0 0 218 .
Dec 12 @anthilemoon @visakanv @levelsio @GregDember Wisecrack characterizes it as “Oscillating between sincerity and insincerity - a back and forth between idealism and skepticism” and recommends the movie Spring Breakers as an example 😁. https://t.co/olpipyYQd6 2 0 0 0 255 .
Dec 11 @visakanv That report is close to word-for-word what I received in my last few years of high school. To the extent that it makes me wonder whether emotional blackmail is/was one of the main tools for mass education when we were growing up. 4 0 0 0 239 .
Dec 11 @Conaw Love the phrase “writing from the outside in”. Maybe off topic but I’ve found this to also be true in other areas e.g. every single cms which demands the information architecture up front rather than allowing atomic pieces of content that metadata can be added to later. 3 0 0 0 277 .

Nov 25 Software & diseconomies of scale - "Much of our economy operates on the assumption that when you spend more you get more per unit spending. If software was sold by the pint, a 4 pint carton of software would not just cost 4x the price of a 1 pint carton, it would cost far more." https://t.co/FfHpm6ZseQ 1 1 0 0 307 .

Nov 02 This is healthy. My experience is relationships with zero conflict are prone to collapse in the long run. I’ve seen friends go years with no arguments only to have the friendship break beyond repair under the weight of all that went unsaid. Relationships should be anti fragile https://t.co/LGWYMLujzb 5 0 0 0 301 .

Oct 30 Cities would be much more peaceful if car horns were as loud inside the car as they are outside. Asymmetry at work. 34 3 0 0 115 .

Oct 27 @docligot Lovely analogy 1 0 0 0 24 .
Oct 27 Not really sure what to take from that. Honestly, I see both as being equally necessary. If these people could learn from and work with each other, I think we’d be in a great place. 0 0 0 0 181 .
Oct 27 Conversely, those who feel others’ feelings too strongly can form very narrow views, closing themselves down to other perspectives, often which may often advance their cause. Particularly in a rapidly changing, interconnected world full of unintended consequences. 0 0 0 0 264 .
Oct 27 Often, those who are good at seeing all perspectives will refrain from holding the positions necessary to affect change or take corrective action. The kinds of people who don’t stand for anything. 1 0 0 0 196 .
Oct 27 My impression is the word “empathy” is used both to describe “Seeing other’s perspective” and “Feeling others’ feelings”. But they’re very different traits, and they tend to compete against each other. (1/n) 1 0 0 0 207 .

Oct 25 @suneel @FridaKahlo Dude your business has just charged me $50 again, bringing the total now to $450 for what seems like a defunkt business. Is this a scam? The site accepted the card and then shut down so I can't cancel. Are you going to acknowledge this or continue to ignore? 0 0 0 0 278 .

Oct 13 1. Technology allows startups to scale super-linearly. 2. Technology team productivity scales sub-linearly. I keep thinking about: Why are there so few people working on (2), and what kind of advantage would that give a post product market fit team. https://t.co/oHEvBieuqR 10 1 0 0 274 .

Aug 31 I’ve spent a lot of time in Japan this year. I don’t think there’s another society that “speaks UX” more natively. It’s like it’s baked into their DNA. https://t.co/JRdFyFbdCm 0 0 0 0 175 .
Aug 25 @tha_rami @stroughtonsmith Cc @colmtuite “No matter what the project is, the creatives always want to see the closest representation to the final product as early on in the process as possible” This seems like a universal across fields 1 0 0 0 235 .

Aug 01 @can I largely agree with the third tweet here but given that the complexity problem is caused by fragmentation, centralisation/lock in are a necessary part of the solution - the question is just to what degree.
