What's happening in #HagiaSophia is a proof that our priorities are screwed up . Disaster is not coming toward us . we are inviting and making our own disaster. nytimes.com/2020/07/10/wor…
This paragraph from the post from @kottke represent what I feel about #HagiaSophia , #Varanasi #ajmersharif #banglasahib, and other such sites. Pity our politicians can't leave it alone. Image
I guess the last frontier which Tech needs to disrupt is religion . Sooner we do it the better for us .

I’ve seen this movie before, and spoiler alert: it doesn’t have a happy ending. What surprises me is how normal it feels for folks to ignore the obvious red flags—and, in cases like this gentleman’s, even throw a party for them. Let’s be honest: it’s nothing but glorified pickpocketing, just with better Wi-Fi.Image
I don’t know if Zepto is guilty of this; I really hope not. They don’t need these shenanigans. The market’s juicy enough to grow without playing dirty, and their founders are way too smart to wreck a good thing.
But hey, I wouldn’t be shocked if some “hacker” is quietly hacking away at ethics behind the scenes.

In the Telecom VAS circle, there's a story about @One97 and @vijayshekhar . How they survived a near death experience .
They had product that could have disrupted the industry by moving VAS to a Revenue Share model from the Fixed Cost model championed by an incumbent. An Incumbent who made his fortune by riding on mobile wave.
That incumbent pulled a dirty trick and snatched the contract right from his hand at the last minute. (a story for another day when I am drunk . its worthy of a Netflix Mini Series).

A multi part thread on empathy and its importance in product design. 🧵
Often times in my discussions with fellow PMs and Designers topic of empathy comes up. Everyone agrees that empathy is an essential starting point for a delightful design.
While everyone understands its importance in theory. In practice. Few actually do anything about it. Empathy is one of that woo-woo new-age concept that is hard to translate into action. That is why we see a lot of sub-optimal designs and dysfunctional products.

AFAIK evidence against Nieman is at best circumstantial ergo non-conclusive. In all likelihood, he will get away with a slap on the wrist.IMHO It's a courageous but immature move on part of Carlsen to walk away from competition because of that.
First Naomi Osaka and now Carlsen. It is surprising how young upstarts and [potential] future doyens of sports are choosing to opt-out of competitions (and contractual obligations) because of personal [subjective ] assessment.
Is it because they are more loyal to the game than the governing body? That kind of transcendence is unlikely at a young age. Or is it the case of a lack of resilience and willingness to fight to change the system from within?

A thread on hiring conundrum in startups . 🧵
Of late there has been lot of talk on twitter around cost of hiring in startups. Consensus seems to be that : Salaries for top talent are through the roof → You need top talent to succeed → You need a war chest of a funding to hire .
A corollary of same is that Bootstrapped or Seed funded startups are at disadvantage because they can't pay top salaries → they won't get top talent ( 10 X Engineer) and this constraint will jeopardise their chance of success .

This Ongoing conversation on Flow Vs BaseCamp Vs Asana is a perfect case study on the complexity of how things happen in the real-world and how single-factor explanations are almost always too simplistic.
This offers a chance to talk about how to assimilate content you consume on internet , process it, and extract gasoline of knowledge from the crude oil Narrative. #badanalogy
Here @awilkinson told his version of events. tipped his hat to the winners ( @asana & @basecamp ) Then @jackiebo refuted it in the thread nested thread above 👆 Claiming there was more to Asana's success than just VC money .
