Super fun conversation with

! We clearly lost track of time 😀
The episode with
@akisaxena
(CTO of

) is live right now !
Lots of interesting things here, including scaling up teams, moving from a tech built by Accenture, to in-house, on prod, in less than a year, and then setting world records for live streaming!

No matter what you do, it’s a real treat to see/experience people immersed in their craft. It feels kinda like the matrix where you can’t un-see it. The level of conversations and mutual respect is special.

Words matter - was sharing with team in a context of delivery - everything that is not built, is broken, and all features are fixes 😀. Valuable to contextualise your work, so that your stakeholders understand it’s not an oversight, but it’s mindful continuous improvement.

#vaccine
allocation does not build confidence at all. already had a constrained resource (vaccine), plus a second dose wave. Opening 18-45 is just PR, pointless when no meaningful velocity possible. Risk for 2nd dose - undoing initial foundation also!

Years ago, upon using the word “users” in a technical context, I got corrected, “they’re our customers”. It’s subtle, but carries such meaning in how we think about the who we serve and build for.
