I love when strangers ask if I can take a photo for them — like you are not ready for the photo shoot that is about to happen.

The angles. The orientation. I’m moving. Y’all are moving. 50 shot minimum.

@IlyaAbyzov @TorchHealth Congratulations! Very bullish on the future of this ever since I hopped into the testflight last year!

Design is going public today.

I feel immense gratitude to Evan, Figmates (past and present) and the design community. THANK YOU!

So excited to welcome @mikeyk and @LuisvonAhn to @Figma’s board. They are friends, visionaries and legends — and I’m so excited to get their help making Figma better for our community.

@keeyeny Damn 4 years! I remember when we were just looking at your portfolio before you joined 🥹

Many companies fumble this moment – it feels forced. But @duolingo continues to excel here, developing the brand in incredible ways.

Every April 1st, I'm reminded of the joy I had of creating something purely for fun and reconnecting with our loyal users. Stay unhinged.

[Sean Chin @_seanchin]

I love seeing that the April Fools tradition make it to the handbook.

The earliest builders at @duolingo have always been trolls – the playfulness and dedication to the bit is a core reason people continue to love the product.

[Lenny Rachitsky @lennysan]

The @duolingo team just published their internal handbook sharing how they build product, hire, experiment, and build a brand around "wholesome and unhinged" 🤣👏👌

Lots of good ideas to borrow/steal for your own team.

At the time, the most frequent demand from users was for us to release our Japanese course. The release date was always getting pushed back, so I included another inside joke to our aspiring Japanese users.
