Clear writing is clear thinking. We use a simple set of rules at Eight Sleep to cut the noise and stay sharp.

Top takeaways from Matt MacInnis, COO/CPO at Rippling: 1. Extraordinary results demand extraordinary efforts. “If you ever find yourself in the comfort zone at work, you’ve definitely made a mistake.” 2. Your job as a leader is to preserve intensity, not buffer it. Every layer of

This is genuinely useful! Implementing all of this ASAP as a person who got sick like 5 times over the last 2.5 months 😅

This is what great PM looks like. User requests feature. Bad PM says “good idea, added to backlog.” Great PM asks: who actually has this problem? 0.00072% of DAU. That’s the entire product management discipline in one data point. The feature request sounds reasonable. The user

I’m grateful for the Elon “nazi” salute scandal because it was a honeypot moment for my understanding of how extreme the bias in these outlets was. I listened to numerous NPR podcasts and read many NYT, Atlantic et al articles, I found their reporting on this specific incident so

My only 2026 resolution is to watch this video every morning as a constant reminder of what’s important and what isn’t 🥹

Congratulations to all Venezuelans on the end of the ~26-year-long, back-to-back reign of two horrible leaders. I sincerely hope the red line will start to go up, and meet or even exceed our blue line in near future.

most people think ideas come from: - insight - intelligence - taste - reading - vibes but in practice they actually come from: - building the wrong thing - hitting a constraint - getting embarrassed by users - realizing the obvious thing you missed - noticing the second order

I don't know what happened to the X algorithm this time, but my "For You" feed is nothing by vagueposts. Unlike most folks (seemingly), I've been really happy with the algorithmic changes over the last few months, but the last few days are a mess of contextless riddles.
