I occasionally tweet about product management, VR/AR, developer ecosystems and urbanism. Product lead @meta. Pan-european ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Carnage4Life Money talks.

WFH grew because it attracted talent in a highly competitive labor market. Now we’re seeing cost saving during headwinds as a driver for WFH.

@jcolman There is little benefit in being pessimistic

@Carnage4Life Most countries on the top right quadrant don’t have universal healthcare. You are forced to have insurance and there are subsidized or regulated options.

People get to hung up on definitions, nobody can describe ‘the internet’ either.

Instead we should talk about what people do in VR/AR: play immersive games, home fitness, join a techno rave, 3D modeling, etc.

@andrew_manitsas @GergelyOrosz That’s not true. Most employment contracts in software have a clause that waives overtime. At least I speak of personal experience in Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and I know it’s the case in the UK too. Nobody ever paid me for having overtime.

@erskingardner TikTok is fun, my best source for local trends and expat jokes!

@andrewchen The Metaverse from Matthew Ball

@shreyas Talk about a product they like.

Then ask about the problem it solves, measuring a North Star, challenges the business might be facing, etc

[Jean-Pierre Pequito @hellojeanpierre]

@packyM @callmehouck For a while Reality Labs was the small team.

The challenge is at what point does the small team become the core focus of the business.

@AntonHand Gosh I didn’t even notice until you said so. I can’t unsee it now!

@hmltn I think we need to do better with onboarding skeptics to VR. We, the early adopters, need to be extra patient.

@NotBoogey @PeligrosoFitz @QAGreenways We go more often and buy less. I buy for 1-3 days, carry everything in a bag or two. Everything is less than 10m waking.

If I really need a car, there are dozens of rental cars that you pay by the mile around our block.

@nkephalos @manta_greg @edmundssprogis @SamRamani2 It’s above 2% since they created the 100Bi budget in February

(mostly about shift from coal to natural gas)

@shahedkhan If you name your employer, you’re biased. If you name a company you never worked for, you are misinformed.

I can’t even tell what’s going on in other orgs at Meta, hardware org works very diffierent to silicon org or to WhatsApp org.

[Jean-Pierre Pequito @hellojeanpierre]

@shahedkhan The only way to measure that output are earning calls, everything else are lies we tell to ourselves.

[Jean-Pierre Pequito @hellojeanpierre]

@shahedkhan How can you objectively measure this without a self selection bias?

[Jean-Pierre Pequito @hellojeanpierre]

@Noahpinion @brockm @willwilkinson If bitcoin raises in value, then people are less likely to spend them as currency.

It’s like the stories of paying pizza for X bitcoins which are today worth so many thousand dollars. You are basically paying the current value plus the future appreciation.
