People are always a bit taken aback when we can summarise our strategy as: “Make a product people like → sell it at a price that makes our business sustainable → keep improving the product to keep customers happy”. Sounds simple, kinda difficult in practice, but that doesn’t mean it’s worth overcomplicating.
The more comfortable you feel sharing your strategy openly, the stronger it likely is. If you feel worried about competitors knowing your strategy, it's probably weak.

A band called Cor64 plays Nintendo 64 video game theme songs live and their GOLDENEYE cover is fantastic 🔥

The nicest part of where I live is an anonymous individual who knits things like this and leaves them lying as a random act of kindness for strangers to find. Today I was that stranger. My son was naturally thrilled.

Just seen my first entirely serious “Here’s what the viral fame of Angine De Poitrine taught me about B2B sales” LinkedIn post and maybe the internet is actually a bad idea???

Genuinely happy Anthropic launched Claude Design on a Friday so I can spend two days touching grass before I have to deal with the discourse.

Remember, the role is only remote if it’s from the >3 days at home region. Otherwise, it’s just sparkling hybrid.

free growth strategy: 1. keep improving little by little 2. stay 100% user-supported 3. watch VC-backed companies gradually destroy their product and alienate their users

TIRED: using “—“ and everyone thinks you’re a bot WIRED: never learning the difference between colons and semicolons: dont let it stop you INSPIRED: assert dominance with the mega-hyphen. it’s not just punctuation ————— it’s a statement.
