New era for the sports industry
It's time for folks to really start looking at how spatial computing will change sports for ever.
What used to cost millions and take weeks, can now happen in real-time and cost close to nothing.

Activation might be the most important metric in your business. Here's why:
Once you build a great product, acquisition becomes easier. Word of mouth works its magic.
Then, the problem flips from acquiring users to retaining them.
This is where “The Firsts Problem” comes in.
What is The Firsts Problem? All metrics drop off after a user’s first:
• Their first visit
• Their first session
• Their first day using the product
• Their first month using the product
So you really have to make the best use of these “firsts” as you can. That’s where activation comes into play.
It’s the best way to move retention, because it focuses on the segment of your group that has the biggest drop-off in retention.
“You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”
P.S. Here's how to make a great first impression: lnkd.in/ef8sBydx

The way that Jensen Huang runs Nvidia is wild:
40 direct reports, no 1:1s
- Believes that the flattest org is the most empowering one, and that starts with the top layer
- Does not conduct 1:1s - everything happens in a group setting
- Does not give career advice - "None of my management team is coming to me for career advice - they already made it, they're doing great"
No status reports, instead he "stochastically samples the system"
- Doesn't use status updates because he believes they are too refined by the time they get to him. They are not ground truth anymore.
- Instead, anyone in the company can email him their "top five things" with whatever is top of mind, and he will read it
- Estimates he reads 100 of these everyone morning
Everyone has all the context, all the time
- No meetings with just VPs or just Directors - anyone can join and contribute
- "If you have a strategic direction, why tell just one person?"
- "If there is something I don't like, I just say it publicly"
- "I do a lot of reasoning out loud"
No formal planning cycles
- No 5 year plan, no 1 year plan
- Always re-evaluating based on changing business and market conditions (helpful when AI is developing at the pace that it is)
This org is optimized for (1) attracting amazing people, (2) keeping the team as small as it can be, and (3) allowing information to travel as quickly as possible
Thank you @brevo_official for offering Automations that need a lot of time invested to get them running and then simply disabling them after a fixed amount of users if you are in the wrong plan without any hint via mail or highly visible on the platform. Worst product exp. 2023.

To be a top 1% podcaster, you have to upload 21 podcasts.
90% don’t go past 1.
9% don’t go past 20.
1% make it to 21+
So when people say “try harder” it usually just means “don’t give up”.

This is hilarious. Engineers are competing who creates the worst UI on Reddit.
I think the winners are:

I finally pushed v1.2 of my #Locationscout app to the #ios & #android app store with a rework of the photo spot pages.
If you like to #travel, the #app with almost 100.000 users can help you to find beautiful places to photograph or simply enjoy.

Instead of getting rid of the huge bevel, @Apple apparently decided on making the new iMac look better from the side and the back, but add a white contrast border that distracts from the content to the front, which I am seeing 99.9% of the time... #wtf #imac2021
