on the topic of PMs, PGMs, CPOs, blah blah…those within it know that titles rarely reflect the actual role. cultures defer, the best work happens when the stack is collapsed, and top talent has always influenced without authority and done work outside of their “job” anyways.

"A Founder's job is injecting risk into the business. It's flooding it with new ideas, stuff that seems hard to do, ideas that no one else would dare try, placing the kinds of bets that only someone who started the damn thing would be willing to wager." ~ @jasonfried I do my very best to do my job as a HubSpot founder.

A tragedy of product work everywhere is that too many teams are actively anti-creative, and when they have to re-evaluate why their product is not winning, they excitedly come up with efficiency ideas rather than questioning the mindset that led to this plight in the first place.

The design industry suffers from a “fundamental category error” Designers believe they are planing a game of chess, where the best player with the best process always wins.

Steve Jobs was an amazing pitch man. His storytelling brought the future to life. He taught me to be paranoid of the fine line between hype and lying: it can be as subtle as one word. If you cross that line, it can destroy you. I’m grateful to him for this lesson. /end

Product operators who proudly pooh-pooh instinct & creativity (“it’s all about the numbers!”) often don’t realize that they have that luxury precisely because of the instinct & creativity of those who built that product before them.

As a smug European, I definitely used to think that Celsius is just a superior scale for measuring temperature. After 21 years in North America, though, I definitely concede that Fahrenheit is simply better and more intuitive for temperature.

the most consequential figures in the tech world are half guys like steve jobs and bill gates and half some guy named ronald who maintains a unix tool called 'runk' which stands for Ronald's Universal Number Kounter and handles all math for every machine on earth

thinking: there is no pride in sticking with a project once you've lost conviction. if you "wish you knew then what you know now," well...now you know. shake things up, your reboot will be far more informed. some of the world's best pivots result from shedding sunk costs.

Pre product market fit you have to get lucky. You have to catch lightning in a bottle. After product market fit you have to be good. You have to ride the lightning by building systems and scaling. It’s hard to keep it. Few do. For those that do, the promised land awaits.

Caveating it with "we need peace" doesn't stop it from being sedition.

Your product's narrative should come first. it's your compass for compromise-making, a north star for accountability...and cuts through the butter of bureaucracy like a hot knife.🔪 nail brand, draft a fake press release, and build prototypes that are worth a hundred meetings.

If you can’t find any users for your idea often the first thing you can do to find some is be even more specific about the use-case it works best for. Do it even if it means the market is small because a small market is better than no market. You can often widen it later.
