Doing this work has led me to become a great appreciator and student of the incredible work many others are doing in the space. And with that, here’s what I know and think you might be interested in knowing, too.

And, it's shown me how many cool formats "editorial" can take. Curation!
- Roundups like @TheBrowser or @80000Hours job board
-Scrabbooks like @Megilllah's "good sign offs" or @mollyfmielke's "why are we so wimpy" (links below)

btw, @AREdotNA and @mmmdotpage are amazing tools for this

I recently left Stripe after 4.5 formative and magical years. Some reflections on what made working at Stripe feel different than working other places:
1/Turpentine
2/Writing
3/Meticulousness
4/Principled decision-making
5/Ambition
6/Talking up
7/The API metaphor 1/Turpentine: Picasso said, “when art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.” Stripe is obsessed with turpentine.
