In Austria, we have an "Arbeitsmarktservice". They basically help people find a new job, give them training and so on. They are usually very useless.

Today, they released an online tool to help answer job related questions. It's based on GPT-4. And it's ... amazing.

The nuance here is important: people want to post their experiences, not re-live them.

Projection, not reflection.

Surface, not depth.

It’s a strange trend that we have collectively agreed to enjoy things a little less so that our peers can see us perform enjoyment.

Ok the metaverse is officially real

A roadmap is not a strategy.

Roadmaps should be an output of strategy, good ones will always clearly tie back to one.

Real strategy answers:
• what we’re building + why
• how we’re going to grow + why
• who we’re going to target + why
• what risks we're ready to take + why

[Luke Wroblewski @LukeW]

you don’t present multiple product design options to give stakeholders a “choice”.
you present multiple design options to make it clear which one is the best path forward & why.

I am warning everyone to NOT buy one of these new Dyson cordless vacuums with the hard surface laser sight not because it’s a bad product but because it is so extremely good and addicting to find all the dirt that it makes you want to vacuum every goddamn day

[Alexander Gasiul @alexandergasiul]

Valid point. Totally agree with you.

Figma gets better and better.

At the same time, looks like it becomes more a DesignSystems tool for big companies.

Some features made Figma easier to use (fonts, autolayout).

Other (colors, properties, dev mode) made the tool harder to learn.

I am ready.
