🥳 Freeplay is now open to all in a public beta! We’ve built an end-to-end platform to transform how product teams build with LLM‘s. From seed to public companies, everyone using an LLM in their product wants it to be consistent, compelling & affordable. Freeplay can help.

1/ Congrats to @mytandaofficial and @jessechor on the launch of the TANDA app and $4.5M raised from @sequoia & @Initialized. Tandas are an age-old tradition of communities saving money together. Chip in weekly until it's your turn to draw the whole pot. techcrunch.com/2023/11/15/ta…

💯 can attest to how this pays off. I worked transparently in a highly technical space. Eventually, my cross-functional partners got excited to see the progress and loved to contribute to the conversation. I learned this from @joshpuckett when I was @upperstudy
A guiding belief as I'm building @trycampsite: Teams with a culture of openness build better software. • Open iteration accrues into a team's collective consciousness • The best ideas cross-pollinate across org boundaries • Transparency lifts the bar for craft quality

This was one of those weeks where I'm just feeling grateful. Ended on a high last night, with @Upperstudy alumns @jochemdierx @liammatteson helping me brainstorm more ideas in 30m than I thought possible. The future of design is bright ✨

The best reason to join @Upperstudy is to work with incredible mentors on impactful startups while learning to become a great product designer. The second best reason is to get alumn @byatkinson's Friday Drops every week 🎵

our lead designer @aprilfoolsfool started doing this on day one and now we have a year of thoughts, ideas, decisions, and discoveries catalogued in chronological order … ✨🫶✨ best team
If you're the most junior person in a meeting, the easiest way to stand out is to take detailed notes and send them to the group afterwards.

Our first designer who we hired through @upperstudy consistently blows me away with her work, her seamless collaboration with eng & ability to flex into product/research Kudos to @soopa and @joshpuckett for building a program that's equally impactful to designers and startups!

Totally agree. remix.run is a perfect example of communicating the value proposition using good UX. Another product that does this well is @linear.

Underrated @Upperstudy benefit: gain an understanding of tech compensation that takes most a decade or more to build through costly trial and error.
Replying to @aprilfoolsfool
How could I not mention @soopa!! I went from knowing nothing about stock options to being familiar enough to talk to others about it!

I remember reading somewhere that generation wealth comes not only in the form of cash wealth, but also in the form of knowledge. In this case, it’s the wealth of financial literacy as well as guidance in navigating your career that were never passed down to us.

It’s been an incredible year at Cardless and I’m super excited to finally share some of the work we’ve been up to! 🚀 One of our focus points was rethinking our entire mobile and web experience from first principles.
