I’ve started a lot of companies, and suffered a lot while building them. The suffering came from the mismatch between pain (i.e. various things not going to plan) and my expectations (i.e. that things would go according to plan).

In a slump? Working on yourself? If Tiger can take 11 years between Majors to publicly crash and burn, admit his issues, lose most of his sponsors, quit golf, have back surgery, rebuild his life, and claw his way back to a green jacket... you can do your thing too. Get it.

We need more startups trying to solve the top half of this graph.
It's incredibly difficult to get a toe hold there, but when you do it's an outrageously large opportunity.

“As a manager you need to put the company first, your team second, and your team members last,” @mwermuth says.
“Now this may sound harsh, but in practice, it leads to the best outcomes for everyone involved.” buff.ly/2Qyis69

7/ Having money in the bank gave us something more powerful than VC money or runway.
It gave us "profitable confidence."
That confidence, and the risks it has allowed us to take, has been the most powerful driver of our growth by far.

Hey React devs, here's a repo that shows the same React app written with 4 different approaches:
1. Plain React
2. React with Redux and thunks
3. React with Redux and sagas
4. React with context

The huge ad campaigns from FB and Uber right now are awful.
The message is this: “We are so sorry for being evil. We promise to stop. Trust us.”
But both company business models depend on some definition of evil to work.
It’s going to be an interesting 2018/2019 for tech.

Hey @LoblawsON I have so many questions
Why is the checkout red?
Why are all the buttons different shapes?
Why are the icons all diff style?
Why are there no labels?
Why is there a FR button when your icons have no labels?!
WHY IS THIS SO BAD THAT YOU NEED A LEGEND FOR YOUR UI?
