Little Peanut (4 years old) wonders what I'm doing, so I explain customer discovery to her as "people want to make something, so I'm helping them see if anyone will buy it before they make it."

Say says, "if no one wants to buy it, they can still make it if they are having fun."

THIS HAS TO STOP.

we arent going to get anywhere complaining, doomsdaying, handwringing, caterwauling, or fear mongering. Community and collaboration is the antidote to fascism 🌱https://lavender-zorana-89.tiiny.site/ share it far and wide, information is power, sharing is democracy

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks.

Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.
