Since I was born, humans have created 6 billion jobs. All while technology relentlessly disrupts existing industries. The pin making machine replaced the hand-crafted pin.

Conversations and projects usually revolve around an axis. It could be a goal or an urgency or a person. It might be the boss. Wondering what they want, what they need, what sort of mood they’re in, what just happened, what might happen. “What would Jeff do?” It might the clock. SNL goes on at 11:30, whether or not it’s ready. It might be the bureaucracy. Figuring out what the rules are

They’d land on a category or date archive, scroll for a bit, and then leave without finding what they needed. I realized the real issue wasn’t the archives themselves, but how visitors were using them. People wanted a faster way to narrow down my blog posts inste

A screwdriver works because the handle is bigger than the screw. You can twist the handle with leverage, causing the screw to turn. The bigger the handle, the more leverage you have. We’ve spent a
