This is where a small team (usually 4-8 people) gathers to talk about someone in the hot seat as if they aren't there for 10 min. When it's your turn all you can do is sit & take notes, then you get 5 min to respond.

Here are the prompts:

I’ve seen a lot of takes on the Figma Adobe deal in past week and think most VCs/finance folks misses the point since they don’t really understand the market or tools Adobe and Figma makes. Figma is not a Photoshop killer and Figma didn't put "Photoshop in the cloud".

@theChrisDo Hey Chris, reading your book made me reflect on why I read in the first place. I wrote about that revelation here. I hope you enjoy it!

What book are you reading? Why are you reading it?

Last year, I made it a point to read as much as I could, but I never had an answer to that question. I wrote an honest reflection on my reading habits and how it completely changed the way I read now.

@joenatoli 24hrs unless it’s amazon, then 7-14 days because you have no choice and you’ll take anything

@darianrosebrook No I think they’re silly 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Andy Lam @thatAndyLam]

@theChrisDo However I kept reading it cause I love the content and format. It felt like talking to a zen master. Quick and easy to digest. Practical advise delivered concisely so to not needing too many examples to make a point. 👍🏼

[Andy Lam @thatAndyLam]

@theChrisDo I did not like the way the book is bound, and I found it too stiff. I wish it was softer(?) to open, and to stay open, more like Show Your Work. Due to the stiffness, I don’t see the margins in the gutter, making the text block look off centered.

@femkesvs Noooo boba tea 😭
