CTO @BlackcartCo. Busy scaling eng and product teams from seed to series B. Tech leader with product + biz sense. Views are my own.

@KevGCallahan @damirbecirovic @wholemars @BlackcartCo Word! @damirbecirovic better yet, what if your gf only needs to pay for what she keeps? That’s what @BlackcartCo offers.

Let us know what brands she buys from and we can get those merchants signed up for try-before-you-buy. 👍

There’s a big difference b/w physical science and people science.

They operate by different rules (rational vs relational).

You can be a genius in one and useless in another.

Also why product management needs more people scientists rather than rational scientists.

Okay, now I'm being asked "What should Elon do to fix Twitter?"

It looks like the takeover succeeded (easiest hostile takeover ever! I suspect the board secretly wanted to work with Elon, because WELL IT'S ELON).

The lowest point in my UX Research career was when I was pegged as a product fortune-teller. 🔮

Now, having worked in tech for a decade, here’s the biggest problem I see in product teams:

We over-intellectualize 🧠 and under-humanize. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Funding secured! BlackCart is hiring engineers and across the board. And I am on TechCrunch! https://t.co/UTqT57F87O

[Davey Shafik 🦁🐉🏳️‍🌈 @dshafik]

Y’all I’m on TechCrunch! I think that means I’m legit in startup land now (I mean, technically, BlackCart is on TechCrunch, but I’m in a screenshot of Zoom) https://t.co/N4o6ncfbr0

[Davey Shafik 🦁🐉🏳️‍🌈 @dshafik]

After 8 years of doing DevRel, I’m delighted to announce that I have joined BlackCart as Staff Engineer.

With this role I will be moving back to Engineering full time. I’m really excited to be working primarily with PHP and Laravel again.
