Kinda thinking that emerging from an intense prompt engineering session produces the same feeling as Neo unjacking from the Matrix. /*shakes head groggily*/
Yesterday @colleen_purdy brought up the detrimental absence of small frictions in our daily lives. (@TheSeanGoodwin I think we've discussed the same) I love @sariazout's take: every small friction is an invitation to "make".

That feeling when you're dogfooding your own product and it blows away your expectations with how well it does its job. Time to ship.
I'm no longer at Loom, but I still am amazed to see people's reactions when I bring up the company. They immediately light up and smile and exclaim nearly involuntarily: "Oh my gosh I *love* @loom !" That's the gold standard of a great product experience.
I appreciate the leaderboard as a way of having humans judge AI answers, as opposed to benchmarking on tests alone, but it is still a highly idiosyncratic measure that is disconnected from real use cases. We need more independent benchmarks for real-world uses besides coding.

A healthy team culture is naming your releases after potato varieties. Next week is Yukon gold.

I did not anticipate the fear of rejection that would come from introducing a product into the world. Building a startup is good for you, apparently 😬
Related: I've been looking into offsite hosts/venues that design the offsite around fitness programming. My small founding team would love it – but haven't found a single option for this! Seems like a great niche opportunity... nothing builds a team like cortisol & dopamine 😅

I am only hearing excuses

What's the hardest part of building a fully-remote startup? Nope, not culture. Not team-building. Not maintaining execution velocity. It's multi-state regulatory compliance. 😵 I have no idea where I'd be without @moseyworks. Seriously just go use them.
Hard things never stop being hard. But "hard" doesn't need to get in the way of "fun" – and it can, if you're especially lucky, *inspire* fun

Don’t “rebuild {insert product} with AI”. You will lose this bet. Instead, build for a world of semi-autonomous AI agents. Spoiler: this means a focus on deep collaboration and branchable auditibility

It’s true. It does take a few really special people. And it takes better tooling that enables them to iterate faster and more confidently.

If only browsers could identify user intent in scroll events.... The pains we go to for good UX!
It's amazing to me how changing a fraction of a rem can make an entire design just "click". I'm so thankful to work with a designer like @colleen_purdy.
