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 07 Just came across E-Prime, a version of English which excludes all forms of normativity. Seems like a powerful tool for facilitating heated or polarised discussions. This would transform, for example, political debates. https://t.co/uoW4SLKEKK 5 0 0 0 242 .

Aug 01 @patphelan @n26 @monzo @RevolutApp With one big caveat. Customer support doesn't scale the way the other stuff does, and Revolut don't aim to compete here, even with their paid plan https://t.co/lrR1qCZRlm 1 0 0 0 205 .

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.

Jul 26 @loopuleasa @paraschopra I'm building a thing which seems like what you're alluding to in the first part here, although I lost you with the second part.

Jul 26 Things I like about @stephen_wolfram: - Pick thing, stick with it for decades. Enter compounding - Shape environment such that it shapes you. - Build a memex/second brain. - Create knowledge w/ sharing mechanisms on autopilot. This is fascinating https://t.co/cbn4qSRdwD 0 0 0 0 272 .

Jul 10 @jasonfried Looks really great! One thing I'm super curious about is how you size teams - you mention "One designer & one or two programmers". My experience is that is not enough to, as @Lethain says "abstract the complexities of the individual". What enables you to do this? cc @dhh https://t.co/oL78egref3 2 0 0 0 311 .

Jul 04 @KevinSimler Quit my startup to join an “events” company as an early hire. Moved to Manila to build an SME lending company. Rationale both times was find and work with truly exceptional people. Don’t think I’d change anything. One led to the other, both worked out very well. 8 0 0 0 275 .
Jun 30 The future I want to see: @elonmusk & @JeffBezos team up to attempt the most ambitious commercial project ever - the vertically integrated airline. Same day booking, predictable prices, 0 queueing. Comfortable, electric supersonic aircraft. 💯👊🙏 https://t.co/nwEzuzTpB1 4 0 0 0 272 .

Jun 13 One of my deepest held beliefs: The fact that, as web software practitioners, we’ve built a system which at any kind of scale (unnecessarily) requires a ratio of experts:newbies in the low single digits, is *the* major contributor to the widespread shortage of technical talent. 19 0 0 0 279 .

May 14 @visakanv Reference Material is actually not bad in this context. How about this one: A word which encompasses: Podcasts, Tweets, Studies, Short animated videos, Blog Posts, Articles, Tweetstorms, Anki Decks... 1 0 0 0 210 .
May 14 @visakanv Here's the most recent one from today (see first sentence). Thinking "references, knowledge bases, documentation" but none seem to cover it. Maybe specific to software engineering but I think a broader term could also work. https://t.co/eryOQ4oW38 1 0 0 0 257 .

May 14 Maybe this doesn’t exist yet because “Media” is used to cover “Mass Communication” and digital mediums + internet have changed that fairly rapidly. 0 0 0 0 147 .
May 14 The definition would be something like: “An encapsulation of symbols or media whose purpose is to communicate information, knowledge, or wisdom, normally through audio visual means” 0 0 0 0 181 .
May 14 Request for word: A noun which covers “Books, Articles, Documents, Diagrams, Visualizations, Databases, Spreadsheets, Presentations” etc. in the same way that “Media” covers TV, Radio, Publishing etc. I keep finding my brain searching for this but I don’t think it exists. 0 0 0 0 272 .

Apr 22 Realisation I had earlier: People I enjoy/respect the most are people who see the feeling<>reason dance as a fun positive-sum game - they don’t inherently distrust one or the other.
