Let’s talk about spam. And let’s do so with the benefit of data, facts, and context…

As a parent who’s been extra worried about our unvaccinated 1-year-old since the arrival of Omicron, I found this @ProfEmilyOster analysis of the data very helpful: https://t.co/mR4ZgTiY5c

In your first 90 days in a new PM job, it’s important to get in some quick wins early. Here are some ideas for how.

A thread:

I still hold the strong opinion that every company should have a team that teaches new hires how to be experts in the primary tools used at the company (e.g. Gmail, Slack, Docs, Jira, Notion). And I'm not talking a few keyboard shortcuts here and there. I'm talking top 1%.

[Peter Kazanjy @Kazanjy]

Written screens in hiring are amazing and wildly underused.

Fully 50% of applicants won’t take the time to answer 10 questions in paragraph form. But they’ll happily chew through interview time.

You think this sort of candidate is going to be high execution in your org? Nope.

I’ve supported product design teams working on integrity and safety since joining FB in 2015. Some raw thoughts on the leaked docs and current press/political cycle. Probably a long one, 1/*

[Andrew Sullivan @sullydish]

Offering citizens bounties to hunt down other citizens for “crimes” is pure evil. It is a form of illiberalism that’s truly poisonous.

Good copywriting is a superpower.

Amazon, the second most valuable brand in the world, puts an emphasis on teaching its employees how to write.

They know good copy equates to more customers.

These are the 8 tips to write like an Amazonian 🧵

I’m seeing a massive disconnect (more so than usual) between the two twitter worlds I usually inhabit — the US and India. It is important to bridge the two now for a very important reason: #CovidIndia

The App Store has a big problem👇

You: an honest developer, working hard to improve your IAP conversions.
Your competitor: a $2M/year scam running rampant.

I want to quote this whole thing. But it’s too good to excerpt. Every centrist should leave the New York Times. And set up on Substack, or as an independent entrepreneur. There is plenty of funding for technological progressives out West.

If someone like @bariweiss feels like she can’t do her best work at the @nytimes they should make some real changes over there.
