Style becomes a lot more interesting when you stop thinking of clothes as a way to look younger, hotter, or richer. Or as a way to gain status and advance your career.

Let me show you. 🧵

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This is what oligarchy looks like:

If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.

If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.

Obscene.

@dhh 100% I spent a while (and many credits) on something in lovable only to finally fix it by looking at the code and giving it explicit instructions on how to fix it.

We’re not there yet. Is it helpful a lot of the time? Absolutely.

@jasonfried Would love to know what is different when you start a brand new product, like Hey, vs when you’re building upon an existing product. I’ve found starting from 0 you need shorter cycles, but wanted to understand from your experience.

@scottastevenson Sounds good! Couldn’t dm you here so I messaged you on LinkedIn.

One of my Christmas favorites. Short, but such a lovely arrangement, esp the falling counter lines. Merry Christmas, everyone!

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

Why do American cities feel less "alive" than their European counterparts?

It's because of something called the "missing middle".

A century ago, American cities looked completely different... (thread) 🧵

@kairyssdal I like to focus on the @CBSSunday show on Sundays. The best.

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

It's all a judgement call. Every human decision is a gut decision.

Data may inform, but as long as a human is making the decision, it's ultimately a judgement call. If you're just going by the data, then you're confirming, not deciding. Machines are better at that than you'll ever be.

A decision is a point of view seen through a million lenses, many of which are invisible even to the one deciding. The lenses are formed by every experience that person has ever had, their imagination, and, in many ways, the generations of people that came before them in order for them to be here. An experience doesn't exist without a prior experience. And every past colors every future.

Think about it. When companies hire executives, they ultimately hire on experience and judgement. Hiring itself is a judgement call about other people's future judgement calls.

Narrow it down to three extraordinary candidates. What sets them apart? It's the stuff gleaned through conversation, not questionnaires or test results. That's why we interview, and don't choose our best algorithmically. Competency is bigger than "can they do it". Competency is "how they do it." Can is clean and binary, how is messy and analog.

In many ways, the output of any company is that company's collective judgement about what to do, how to do it, why to do it, and when to do it. Each one of these is a loose collection of prior judgement calls made by individuals, all unique in their own experiences.

Give 10 companies the same data, the same facts, and the same amount of time, and you're going to still have 10 different outcomes. Because all those clean binaries are transmuted through the messy analog that is judgement.

At least that's what I think.
