Craft

On creating products that matter

On pairing form and intention

On using cost-of-change to guide process design for a project

On identifying and sequencing the actions that matter most

A career of sprints is an exhausting prospect

On the power of decoupling impact from hours worked

On the experience of being a knowledge worker

On making things that make you feel free

On how to approach design problems

On figuring out what should belong and what shouldn’t

On why adding headcount doesn’t make up for poor management or process.

On how to start a business

On the importance of consistently showing up

On the difference between perfectionism, craftsmanship, and laziness

On the ebbs and flows of making things

On using degrees of certainty to make product decisions

On allowing time to weather your work

On having the courage to build less

On being a more valuable contributor to conversations

On how to use fidelity as a communication tool

On how to hold your creative work more loosely

On the importance of making things in community

A mediation on making room for ideas and bringing them to life
