Very interesting. Seems we are similar :D What I didn't understand: How is the growing list of things stressing you out? Do you feel pressured to do something with the items?

I haven’t cut out caffeine but coffee instead. I used to be a “heavy” drinker, 5-6 cups a day. Unfortunately, I started having really bad stomach problems. Constant acid burbs and …

Is this the equivalent to the “pre-mature scaling” phenomenon in tech? In the early days of a startup, I agree with your statement. Once the company gets significantly bigger, thes…

thanks, you're right

Banksy would approve! Curious to understand: what kind of machinery is this and why does the cutting happen in water?

By the way, I just learned the ABC rule in this thread (Always Be Selling) :) So, you should go ahead and subscribe to my newsletter. It's pretty good: https://www.shoto.io

Who is “they”?

It is already a reality that you can't access certain US websites as a European. They block you out because they don't want/don't know if they comply with GDPR. Same effect.

People hate me for this one :) But, I think that companies don't need product managers if they have great UX and tech people. PS: I am saying this as a former head of product manag…
