I give precisely zero f*cks about Adobe’s clarifications or blog posts.
You forced people to sign new Terms. Legally they are the only thing that matters.
These Terms state black on white that you will now have irrevocable license to use my content for pretty much any purpose you want.
One way to avoid needing a clarification or customer outrage is by not trying to screw your customers over.
Pretending that this wasn’t intentional only makes Adobe and its employees look even more pathetic.
We're in the era of modern software companies as lifestyle brands.
We've passed the basic utility phase; now, it's about delivering an experience and forging an identity that resonates with the aspirations and values of your audience.
UX has become a fashion statement, and standout products have style. We'll see:
- Haute Couture software
- Luxury software
- DIY software
- Economy software
- Indie software
Notable examples:
- Arc
- Linear
- Amie
- Pitch
- Craft
- Arena
- Superhuman
- Loop
- June
- Campfire/Once
- Notion/Notion Calendar
When people talk about great teams, they'll talk about hard work, trust, respect, looking out for one another, etc. All good things.
But there's one quality amongst teammates on great teams that often goes unrecognized by all but the most astute organizational observers: Admiration.
Great teams are made of people who *admire* one another's talents, skills, character, and contributions. Great teams are mutual admiration societies that get to work together.
Admiration is the critical, silent variable in the powerful formula that equals exceptional teamwork.
@tomfgoodwin I walk / drive to one place for Italian bread. Another place for sour dough. Then I go to another place for cheese and cured meat. Another for fresh meats. Another for seafood. You are not alone.
