🚨🚨🚨 New @ObserverEffect: Absolutely *thrilled* to publish this interview with @mcannonbrookes, co-founder @Atlassian recorded over many hours.

This is by far the longest interview/most raw interview we have done and I'm super grateful to Mike.

theobservereffect.org/mikecannonbroo…

More👇
All the themes we went into: Image
On Atlassian's origin story Image
On getting started outside SV (similar to @eldsjal and @tobi ) Image
On @mcannonbrookes's work week Image
On his "decision tree" model Image
I was very grateful to get him to share his story around the IPO (something well known inside Atlassian) Image
On encouraging new employees to "break down walls" Image
On his passion for tackling the climate challenge Image
These are just snippets of something much broader. Mike was raw, candid and I was very grateful to capture this over several hours.

Do read the whole thing (might take you a little bit of time) - this is a truly remarkable person.

🚨 NEW FULL EP: Nathan Mhyrvold is someone @aarthir and I have idolized for decades. Microsoft's first CTO, renowned chef with multiple books, paleontologist, worked with Stephen Hawking, the list is endless.

We had an absolute blast talking to him on this episode. From how to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
s/Myhrvold!
This is EP 47 of our podcast. Amazing we are almost at 50 episodes (and this is just in the new video format)

📺 NEW EP: Layoffs: questions from those impacted or worried may be the most requested topic we have gotten.

@aarthir & I compiled thoughts and got this ep out overnight. From exploring career options, networking, consulting, we tried to cover all.

aarthiandsriram.com/p/tech-layoffs…

🧵
Key takeaways (the ep goes into it in detail). Also everyone's life situation is different so may not apply to all - we tried to focus on folks in their 30s mostly who have been around in tech for a few years.

Agree with this piece.

One outcome of @elonmusk + Twitter Files should be social media companies telling users when their content distribution is manually/ algorithmically throttled.

A better outcome would be having alternative clients w/o throttling.

washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
We may or may not agree why someone is throttled or with the people doing it but there's very little arguments against being transparent to all parties about it.
The need for transparency -> assume your favorite social media company is run by a team of people who don’t like you and then make demands of them to be transparent with what happens to your account accordingly.

Will protect you regardless of who’s in charge.

PROPOSAL: Transparent content moderation:

A proposal for social media platforms to commit to transparency on all moderation and algorithmic decisions

sriramk.com/transparent-co…
In short: we have a trust deficit in how social media companies moderate content. I propose building on @VitalikButerin's "credible neutrality" to specifically make the below transparent.
1/ Publish account actions: All account takedowns are published with details on rules violated, agent performing the action (human, algorithm) and the source of the report ( automated scan, report from the platform, etc).

(details in post)

Several of the critiques of the $8 / verification are logically inconsistent.

“verification solves for impersonation, this will cause more”

1. using a CC/mobile checkout dramatically increases friction. And everyone caught impersonating will lose their money.
2. there are lots of people who should be verified ( and often impersonated) and aren’t. And vice versa.

The current path on any social network is opaque and easily gamed.

$8 gives a consistent path for anyone regardless of their level of notability ( which is subjective).
3. the current model also has severe spam issues ( check out any reply to @VitalikButerin or @elonmusk and you’ll see lots of hacked blue check accounts ).

$8 and giving everyone ✅ makes those attacks less valuable.
