    Some of the best designers I’ve worked w/ had 0-2 yrs of experience. They’re curious. They question old patterns. They break rules. They’re open to trying new ideas. They’re hungry to learn. They quickly get better over time. They’re flexible. Don’t just hire Sr Designers.

    Depends on how close the person is to their upper bound & the time you’re willing to devote I.e. If close to my upper bound already every 1/10th of improvement will cost a lot of time If I’m unlearning habits - like 5x more time It’s not if it’s possible, but is it worth it

    Just talked with a close friend / frmr professor and to reduce a 30 minute convo to a tweet: “Teaching is importing the right questions into people’s heads & that you can’t predict how continually answering those questions will feedback onto itself over time.”

    Yes this is a truth across expertise - it is an intensive training of the intuitive system - it’s not primarily cognitive Magnus Carlson says that he immediately knows the move - the rest of the time is just double checking

    My philosophy: * Make goals you can hit * Don’t miss * Plan according to results The result I’ve seen is: - team builds an identity of “not missing” - can plan accurately - that identity pushes them harder WOW than any stretch goal There’s something about group identity...

    Mgmt question - What is the intended outcome of stretch goals? Get people to stretch higher? The result that I’ve seen most often is that it tends to normalize missing goals & this throws off accurate quarter over quarter planning esp btwn teams

    The leverage from a growth team at a network effects business is large. HOWEVER, the same is not true at a non-network effects business. For example, an a/b test yielding a 10% increase in signup rate for a fintech app is helpful, but its value is linear. Not exponential...

    Questions I have for audiobook folks: 1. What do u do while listening? Are these tasks habituated (cleaning, walking the dog) 2. Do u capture info in anyway? (Notes, etc.,) 3. Do u lose focus at all during the listening? 4. How would u teach someone to learn from audio?

    A frustrating analogy from chess to other areas of your life: One bad move will undo the work of the previous 30 good ones. Brilliant progress is nice, but it's far more prudent to avoid making stupid mistakes.

    An area that I’ve been interested in digging in on for quite a while is how stress impacts learning & memory - and I never get around to it. Here are 3 Anki cards from 2013 on stress and brain function. (Just came back for review) Enjoy and stay chill. You might learn better.

    A great “zero state” is worth every hour of product development that goes into it. So many products that I’m excited to use lose me in the first few minutes because I can’t figure out how to go from zero to what they think the value is.

    This is what happens in practice - at least on the 5,000 person call center we ran it on. Another thing that becomes abundantly clear is the average input rate for the learner. I.e. 70 new facts per week or you see drop off.

    The most important lesson I learned in real estate (grad school job) ALWAYS go to the building - ALWAYS See w/ your eyes that it’s clean or not - talk to ppl - pretend to be a student in a cohort - you learn so much Too many PM’s are just looking at split testing data

    In chess there’s “on book” and “off book” On book is the board configurations that have been played before, usually routine early game Off book is totally new configurations, usually late game A part of expertise is knowing the book / another is how to play without it

    Bet: The next phase of Ed-tech / creator economy will not only be human in the loop but will be centered on personalities “Guru instructors” They won’t necessarily be better teachers but personalities that ppl want to imitate Mimetic desire is too strong not to capitalize on it
