I wish the people of Australia would look at my profile and realize I’m a 30 yr old black man before sending me tweets and DMs.

If you’re pretty, you’re pretty; but the only way to be beautiful is to be loving. Otherwise, it’s just “congratulations about your face.”

Instead of spending that half hour reading a design/product thinkpiece by some random dipshit on Medium, go talk to your customer support team instead! The information is way more valuable.

When you're building products, not everyone is going to agree with your decisions. However, you can help them understand why certain actions are taken. Don't lock people out from reasoning - help them understand, and keep them focused on the goal. #prodmgmt #agile #startup #ux

Networked humans today have a far higher information intake than the average person a few generations ago, and worry about far more things -- by several orders of magnitude. And almost none of that is actionable nor even relevant

Something to consider as an outcome to the #meltdown crisis: global data centre power consumption has likely gone up by 20% or more. That's several new cities worth of power pollution in almost an instant. All from a security flaw. xitter.cf/mnewswanger/status/951…
Patched the canaries for @StackOverflow web servers for #Meltdown today. Servicing the same number of requests, CPU is up by ~65%, with peak CPU spiking to 275% of previous peak.

We’ve been together from the start. From their first round which they held open long enough for us to raise our first fund. Today @Canva is worth $1b USD. This is a lifetime achievement & incredibly, just the beginning. Congrats Mel, Cliff, Cam & Canva buff.ly/2CRpLhn
