The app for independent voices
Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Really enjoyed this read.
Being a product-minded engineer really is a super power. It’s key if you ever want to work at a startup.
I loved the example of one of your engineers building out that analytics product. I’ve done similar for the company I work at.
Product minded engineers have the unique ability to produce massive value as they have the engineering mindset to build something, and the user mindset to know where to spend their time to make a 10x impact for customers.
