@JacsGud The role of the customer and the consumer are different when moving to the B2B ambition you have, so also consider structuring yourself as a team with an internal separation of product team and implementation team (who act as the customer, delivering to your internal end users).

[Daniel Everard @daneverard]

@JacsGud From an implementation perspective, going from one end user to two is much harder than going from two to three, so start with at least two even if the second is somewhat artificial.

@cgledhill As for FinTech, there is limited space for a company to commoditise the exchange integration for true low-latency market participants, but perhaps there are adjacent opportunities.

[Daniel Everard @daneverard]

@cgledhill Exchange co-location is arguably one of the most mature examples of edge computing I can think of. Exchange participants have been balancing latency versus distribution of IP and centralisation of pricing strategy for many years now.

@SP3V @nicolefranq I buy into this hypothesis… I visualise “new” friendships as a phenomenon which will always decay unless topped ip regularly until a plateau is reached at which point the friendship is “locked in” for life.

@dan_abramov It’s close, but I’m going to say The Thomas Crown Affair…

Beginner writers have 2 choices:

1. Curate other experts
2. Say something ultra-specific

Why only 2?

Credibility.

If you've never published anything, readers are not going to trust you giving "general advice."

So here's what to do instead 🧵

Nice thread. Negotiations succeed or fail on the basis of having a proper strategy enabling you to be ready to walk away. Negotiation is not about compromise.

In 2010 Amazon was creating an eBook monopoly...

Until Steve Jobs stopped them in their tracks.

This epic story is a masterclass in negotiation: 🧵

This is a super valuable thread. Meetings can destroy #flow. So try:

- asynchronous collaboration
- share updates via written bullets
- quick, ad-hoc conversations
- directly accountable individuals
- standing meetings

Most meetings are a waste of time.

But there's an easy fix.

Ahead of International Women’s Day, we wanted to offer up something useful.

Ever noticed the difference in how women and men are visually represented with money? A thread…

The images created by DALL.E 2 are at once beautiful and terrifying. Open AI at least seem to understand the importance of managing the ethical risks associated with their technology - let’s hope that continues. https://t.co/sjZBNUPtSO

It will be interesting to see how the “vertical SaaS opportunity” evolves… https://t.co/zpvXxlPVJ5

Here are the lighthouses of Europe.

The map is even better than it might seem at first glance: the colors are the real colors, the patterns are the real patterns, and the size of the dots is the distance at which each light is visible. https://t.co/y7QzV1v7GF

I used to pretty much always drive away from my parents’ house weeping with rage, frustration, disappointment, lonliness, repression or some combination of the above.
In case this resembles anyone else’s situation, here are some things that changed this to mostly harmony
