Caring is the moat, you should feel visceral pain when things are bad or broken and stop at nothing to fix them

The biggest product wins usually come from making some aspect the product less dumb, rather than introducing some new clever thing

Applies equally to product management / growth:
“It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”

Muse D14 retention of 22 pct is impressive for a new app. But for perspective: a good mobile game will do D30 of 20 pct and a forever franchise like Instagram will do D365 retention of 60 pct. So long way still to go!

I’m in love with this sentence:
“A person's capacity for growth is directly linked to how much truth they can handle about themselves without running away.”

What’s happening in the AI-powered reverse engineering and decompilation is absolutely insane. Pretty soon all software will be de facto open-source.
AI is coming for everything and everyone.

Figma CEO @zoink predicts "design is the new code" within a year as AI turns coding into raw material and pushes value into taste, product, and judgment:
"A year from now, the same thing I think is very obvious now, which is that design is the new code."
"If you believe that coding models will continue to get better, then it's the decisions you make about how to build a system that matter, not the code itself. The code is material."
"The value rises to the top and that becomes brand, product design, your marketing, your point of view in the world, your judgment calls and strategy. Product design is really at the center of a lot of that."
"Designers will have a bigger role to play if they step up. Not everyone will step up. Some people will be like, 'But I like what I was doing.'"

▫️ that removes their own desire to care
care has to start at the top

I’m in love with this sentence:
You need to be more afraid of wasting your life than embarrassing yourself.

i cannot stress this enough:
part of having motion is feeling stressed, uncertain, and overwhelmed
this will happen no matter what, so your response to these feelings is what matters the most

there is almost zero point to complaining about virtually anything.
you either change your perspective on the thing, you leave the thing, or you simply accept it.
complaining is usually just the least useful fourth option & high cognitive load to boot.
