The “who” behind the product How in business it matters who is behind a product.

While reading a really bad Hemingway short story, I had a quick business thought about the importance of “who” is behind a product.

He actually said “against the US”? I highly doubt that. Can’t read the article behind a paywall.

Ah yes. Those are wild. Completely unnecessary.

It’s wild how this is similar across products, niches, etc. A $9/month is a $9/month customer and that is that. And not bashing on anyone. I am a $9/month customer if I am allowed to be and it never ends well.

Way to go man. Solid cash!

Just had this convo with my father. Naming streets after people is bad UX. Parks, buildings, benches, whatnot, should be for people naming.

Ah Ok. I was poking around to see if I am missing something. I mostly stay on Mutuals. Seems Ok.

There is a “For You” in bsky? I thought that was a twitter thing

Yup. Exactly that. It’s a hot mess. Not the discussions we used to have. Users getting paid to tweet ruined it all.

Things I tell myself —

Nothing is promised. Hard work guarantees nothing, but it puts you in the best position possible. Getting lucky makes a few things easier. Distribution and momentum are king.

Keep chasing the belief and put your best foot forward. One solid step at a time.

Yeah you’re right. I love writing and I do it like you mostly, to let it out. But I like me a discussion here and there. I didn’t mean “I want people to reply to me” / I like the back and forth and I wish it was more prevalent on here. Like us now.

The screenshot reads: The fact that you’re in over your head, that you almost cannot will yourself to continue, that you’re completely in the dark, that you’re working yourself to an early grave, that you seem to slide two steps back for every one forward, that nothing’s ever good enough, that your friends and family can’t understand why you’re turning yourself inside out with no apparent progress, that you’re supposed to be enjoying the journey but you’re not, that you yourself doubt whether you’re even capable of this… These things mean you haven’t yet succeeded, but neither do they prove that you’re failing. It’s always like this, until it isn’t.

Right, but the human care gets to the point quickly. AI tends to overshoot and it can easily frustrate.

Hey Janina. Great to see you're still on here. And those are great points. Will try those things for sure.

Stripe could be our generation’s perfectly crafted product.

It can’t do the “care” part.

Hey friends. I want to be more active on here. How do I do it?

I know you’re going to say “well, be more active!” / but I have tried and not many people reply. Has it changed?

It would be cool if you can integrate AI in your talk right there and then / I know it would tough, but would be super cool

I know you’re good. Just pulling your leg 😄🥳

Looks great man! Hope the rest of the people around you feel great about this 😄

I don’t know how I ran across your blog, but it’s so amazingly refreshing 🏆

SEO wins are the best / because they feel so hard or unattainable / but once you see it getting listed you feel like you made fire from nothing

cue tom hanks gif: i have made fire 🔥🏐

Umm it’s pretty solid. The search is super powerful. Yeah UX/UI is completely fine.

Ive been toying with Sales Navigator and it’s pretty pretty good

Yeah I try to be on Linkedin once in a while

I am not as active on here as I want to, but peeking through the curtain once in a while and I like 🌊

Card devalues money

How it’s done 💪

What’s your goal?

I like gadgets. I like AI. But my first reaction was:
