This mix is inspired by a B2B set I played at Beezoo Festival. It contains a load of upfront house tunes that should get you dancing. Big respect to @Conrank and the rest of the Beezoo crew for making it such a dope event. Can't wait for next year! soundcloud.com/elgromito/djm…

Linear roadmaps are misleading without a crystal ball for seeing the future. A roadmap that recognizes the existence of risk as time goes on is more honest. But an effective PM needs to anticipate possible branches, too - and create clear criteria for following each path.

I absolutely *love* these Amazon Writing Style Tips (found via Google & medium.com/@dannysheridan) Have any other companies offered a glimpse into their in-house style?

I recently left Stripe after 4.5 formative and magical years. Some reflections on what made working at Stripe feel different than working other places: 1/Turpentine 2/Writing 3/Meticulousness 4/Principled decision-making 5/Ambition 6/Talking up 7/The API metaphor

Facebook is now sending me “People you May know” recommendations of good looking young women with whom I have no friends in common. Man they must be desperate for re-engagement. Being a very happily married man it feels pretty damn wrong.
