📚 Finding Your Swagger

Extremely candid, and lots of lessons to learn: “When you lose your swagger, you lose yourself. When you lose yourself, you need to spend time alone. When you spend time alone, you are left with nothing but yourself. And only from there can you find yourself, and your swagger, again.”

📚 How We Launch at Supabase

I like the idea of “launch weeks” quite a bit. Especially considering I work at a fellow open-source, technical product, I came away from this post with more than a few ideas to steal.

📚 The Poverty of Compromise

If you’re in a situation where person A has idea X and person B has idea Y, they often come up with a compromise, which is theory Z. However, we shouldn’t be surprised when theory Z proves not to work, because neither person ever thought it was the best idea in the first place.
