Steve Jobs on How to Develop Taste:

“I don't think my taste in aesthetics is that much different than a lot of other people's.

The difference is that I just get to be really stubborn about making things as good as we all know they can be.

That's the only difference. “

The interviewer says, “I think you’re being modest”

“Well, things get more refined as you make mistakes. I've had a chance to make a lot of mistakes.

Your aesthetics get better as you make mistakes, but the real big thing is if you're going to make something, it doesn't take any more energy and rarely does it take more money to make it really great.

All it takes is a little more time, not that much more, and a willingness to do so.

A willingness to persevere until it's really great.”

@bryan_johnson @eightsleep have you done any research on the chemicals used to produce the mattresses? Genuinely curious if there are downsides vs an organic mattress

Running a company:

2020: can you survive a pandemic?

2021: still here? we’re going to give all of your competitors $100m series A rounds.

2022: wow, you made it? okay, all engineers cost $600,000/year now.

2023: nice job! okay, SVB failed and we’re going to take away your bank account.

2024: a survivor I see. but can you pivot from ai to crypto to defense tech back to ai-enabled defense tech in a 12 month period to stay relevant?

2025: unfortunately all of your competitors have raised $2b series B rounds. oh and only 500 engineers are relevant and they cost $100m/yr each.

2026: well, well, well. you’re still in business? let’s deploy the thunderclap of godlike LLMs from the heavens so all of your customers can rebuild your app in 2 hours. can you survive?

There has never been a better time to be a designer with taste and product chops

[Tony Fadell @tfadell]

We learned how important understanding the user was at Nest. When we started building, we put early prototypes in real homes. We thought the magic was in the sensors, software, and machine learning. But we quickly realized when we tested on real users, people kept reaching for the dial! The dial became a part of what made the product feel alive. So, this was something we obsessed over: the turn, the click, the feel. We learned this from real people using the product.

An underrated red flag in a person is an addiction to being right. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. It’s like a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.
