Why are recipe websites so terrible to view on your phone? Very difficult just to see the ingredients and steps without a ton of ads and the page losing where you are, which is amplified while you’re cooking. Seems like a handy browser feature to show recipes very cleanly.

Sometimes the ‘why’ part of a user story causes us to stop and realize we really don’t need to build this feature at all.

Probably the most important thing to capture on a story card, & the thing that ppl almost always omit, is _why_ a user in some role wants to do that chunk of domain-level work. What's the value of the work? Dump the "as-a-I need" garbage. Capture who, what, why in a few sentences
Thanks to @Marqeta for the partnership here: marqeta.com/blog/2022/09/21/…

Amazing how companies shoot themselves in the foot with bad practices. It’s not a hidden secret how to do product development well, lots of material published on this!

Incredible how some “traditional” companies operate. A well-known bank in a country has a Tech team and an Architecture team. Architecture does not report to - or is related - to Tech. They make all the Tech architecture decisions. The Architects don’t even come from Tech.

One thing about startups is you get to experience way more growth than at big companies - both professionally and with the company as a whole. Check out Productfy's latest growth here: productfy.io/blog/may_2022_p…

More money plus more learning/growth if you change companies more often.

You’ll increase your $$$$ significantly by changing companies every 1-2 years. Companies will ask you why you’ve changed jobs so much. The real answer: those same companies built a system that rewards outside candidates more than internal talent.

Competition is fierce in fintech and it seems like so many companies are doing the same thing, yet @Square and @CashApp continue to find a way to be different. Why hasn’t any other bank or neobank done this already? cash.app/taxes
