Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke: It’s impossible to make great products if you don’t give a sh*t “Every product in the world, at the end of the day, is simply a reflection of how much the people who created it gave a sh*t… It is not possible to make great products if the people who work on it do not give a sh*t about the product.” Tobi continues: “I actually think this is a very important role for product leaders: To make sure that the team gives a sh*it… The product leader has to give a sh*t. Do not engage in work on a product that you don’t care about.” Tobi believes anyone who wants to build great products has two roles: 1. “You have to understand the thing that’s being done better than everyone else.” 2. “You’ve got to be exothermically infectious with actually caring about this thing because just that one thing alone will make a 10x better product. It’s crazy how much of a change this makes.” Video source: @lennysan (2025)

Probably just a case of embers getting to that house and the firefighters protecting those around it because it was too far gone. There were reports of 8-foot pieces of brush/trees flying through the air with the winds.

Breaking through to a better idea by subtraction, rather than addition, is the most satisfying kind of breakthrough.

In any organization/product it's much easier to add complexity than remove it. This is a fun initiative we're taking in Jan to streamline and simplify: Delete Week HT to @tobi and others for the inspiration coinbase.com/blog/delete-wee…

“So next time you hear something, or someone, talk about an idea, pitch an idea, or suggest an idea, give it five minutes. Think about it a little bit before pushing back, before saying it’s too hard or it’s too much work.” 🎯 signalvnoise.com/posts/3124-…

Tech debt is entirely about learning. You start by writing the best code you possibly can. Then you learn something that tells you that the code has issues (so fix them). Tech debt is inevitable if you're learning. I, at least, am always learning, so there's always tech debt.
