Now that everyone is scared of erythritol the obvious alternative may be allulose. But the issue with allulose is the cost… and therefore it’s unlikely it will become the most used replacement. Whether erythritol is truly bad or not is being heavily debated.

“The New Vermeer,” a Dutch reality TV show combining highbrow culture and mass entertainment, asks contestants to create a painting based only on a description jotted down centuries ago. The series has been a sensation in the Netherlands. nyti.ms/3IlZXK8

10 years after iOS 7, GUI designers are attempting to draw graphics with lighting effects again. But their work looks comically primitive compared to the standard of a decade ago because their tools have devolved. Adobe gave up the ghost just a few months ago. Never quit.

Some people spend their entire life trying to blend in with the acceptable beta of a McKinsey Powerpoint deck, cover your bases But all the alpha is in being raw, direct, and truthful even when inconvenient, uncomfortable, and vulnerable

Much of my design career has led to me caring about product quality. But what is quality, what affects it and why is it so hard to achieve? I wrote 5,000 words on craft and why I moved to a 10-person startup after 10 years at large companies: 🆕 paulstamatiou.com/craft/

Berkeley is the quintessential public school, and its size is a double-edged sword. Berkeley students have to do more with less, find their way to entrepreneurship when that isn’t the default or encouraged path, and don't benefit from a cohesive alumni network
