Fun thought experiment : what other situations are just "predicting the next frame" under the hood? - process simulation (manufacturing) - weather forecasts - sports betting Not a fan of using the LLM hammer for any nail, but the ways it could reduce the cost to try is cool.

You ask we deliver: In the last two months, we shipped: * search tabs to help you find things more quickly * filters on payment, invoice, subscription, and customer lists to help you filter by status, creation date, and more (light/dark mode toggle was added earlier this year)

I find it's easier for engineers to call out bad product decisions than product managers. My hunch is it's incentives. The PM wants to do the thing that looks good for "their team". The engineer has to live with (and maintain) that poor decision.

I'm in a multi-hour, hundred-person, well-run meeting where we're walking through the top 10 major product and platform Stripe launches for 2025. It's *by far* the most ambitious set of things I've seen us tackle. (Come build with us: stripe.com/jobs, or email me.)

The level of excitement you have when someone points out something wrong / missing in your work (could be a doc, chart, design, prototype) has a direct correlation with your ability to build good products

Finally saw the new Toyota Land Cruiser in person - nailed the front (headlights, heritage Toyota wordmark, sharp lines, entry angle) - flopped the back (plastic in areas that make it look cheap, weird choice in light given the front) Regardless, respect for trying smth diff!
