Apple's visionOS significantly limits how applications are allowed to interact with the user, especially re: their new gaze-based input, and I think it's worth talking about. TL;DR: If you want to do AR apps, you must give Apple full rendering control. 🧵

There is a popular Apple Pie Position, which goes: “If you don’t measure it, you cannot improve it” This belief is often harmful on early-stage teams. This is more accurate: “If you don’t measure it, you cannot prove to some people that you improved it” Impact vs. Optics… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Swiss officials reported to our study group that ridership has fully recovered in Switzerland - it now *exceeds* 2019 levels. They explained, it's not because the Swiss didn't embrace remote work– a significant share of Swiss are still working from home many days, commuting less. pic.twitter.com/fGw1eQjVrf

Why I don't use Scrum to manage my Remote Teams? TL;DR: It adds at least 8 hours of meetings per Sprint. That's 2 full days of time wasted, per team member, per month! This is what I do instead:

One of the most bullish / exciting things I've seen on Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta 11.4.1. It detected the pedestrian, but rather than slamming on the brakes it just proceeded through like a human would knowing there was enough time to do so. pic.twitter.com/8GISp4jYGp

Most PMs suck at persuasion. I did. My "rock-solid" arguments always fell on deaf ears. Then I learned how to direct others' attention where I needed it *before* my arguments. Everything changed. This is "pre-suasion" and it's immensely powerful. 🧵👇 (+ bonus AI megaprompts)

I have extensively played with LLM AI (ChatGPT) and Stable Diffusion GNN the last two months. Both in professional (work in IT Security), social media (this account), and creative projects (writing/illustration I'm working on). These are my ~layperson thoughts. 🧵

Be careful. Most "products" are, in fact, projects. 9 red flags (and how it should work): 1. You start your initiative by writing a large PRD. 2. Your goal is to implement the requirements (features). 3. You have an Analyst who collects them all in the "initial phase." 4.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

This is probably the most impressive video I have seen this year. "Ice Ice Baby" sung and acted(!) by the cast of Matrix (1999). And Wilford Brimley for some reason. Generative AI is incredible. The video part freaks me out, especially. youtube.com/watch?v=gnEIeV…

While obvious in retrospect, GitHub's original pricing model of unlimited free public repos and paid private repos took weeks to develop. We were so focused on building the product during the beta that we didn't spend a lot of time thinking about how to charge for it.

A common pattern that I am observing happening more. Team’s consistent hard work that leads to successful project deliveries is often overlooked. But… Last-minute sprints and firefighting to save a derailed project are highly praised. What you praise is what you get
