Most startups are doing too many things. They don’t make tough prioritization decisions until they start to run out of cash. A good thought experiment is to ask, what would you do in that situation? Don’t wait. You should be all-in on your best idea now.

OS-based wallets like ApplePay pose an existential threat to cloud wallets like PayPal. Compare the experience at TheNorthFace with PayPal vs ApplePay. Eventually HomeDepot, Walmart, etc will embrace. PayPal smart to diversify. Let’s tweet this experience...

Founders tend to focus on simplifying signup flows but users will complete almost anything once they download an app. Instead you should add steps that accelerate the Aha Moment. No one is going to wait 4 days to reach an optimal friendcount. You have 2 hours—the clock is ticking

Please don't private message someone on Slack with just a "hi" and then wait for a response. Just come out with your question.

A product manager saying they are too busy with internal meetings to spend time with customers is like a doctor saying they are too busy with picking out the magazines for their waiting room to spend time with patients. #product #prodmgmt

I've found that generating ideas is not really an active process. But removing ideas is. A lot of "deep thinking" is simply about eliminating the noise to reveal the ideas already there.
