I often see a misapplication of the first principles approach.
Individuals come in, question misplaced assumptions, and thanks to advancements in automated code production, tend to miss the core idea that a product is a loss function.
In any complex human (or machine) endeavor, there are multiple competing objectives that cannot all be maximized simultaneously.
The great part about technology businesses is that the cost of experimentation keeps getting lower.
Continuously questioning the assumptions and getting a handful of them right, divides brilliant products from the ones that end up getting abandoned.

Iโm joining the team at @X to lead Product.
I am a huge believer in @SpaceX's mission to extend human consciousness to the stars, so itโs time to make shitposting multiplanetary.
X is the best way to find out whatโs happening in the world right now and talk about it. The team has been working tirelessly to make X a better place and product for the people who love it, and many have noticed the recent momentum. My goal is to help accelerate that momentum for our community, new users, and businesses globally by continuing to make this product beautiful and useful.
We are twenty years in, but it truly feels like Xโs next chapter will be our greatest. I look forward to your ideas and feedback; Iโm sure the replies will be measured and magnanimous.
@adambader Youโre not missing out on much. My laptop broke so I didnโt have a computer over the weekend, despite that I spent more time on my 17 pro than the duo.
@Altimor I rarely feel that I belong anywhere, but the people at the @ymcasf Chinatown branch have given me the closest thing to it I've ever known. ๐
